Apple Inc.'s Big New Feature for Its 2019 iPhones Revealed

On Nov. 14, Bloomberg published a report claiming that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) intends to add a "rear-facing 3D sensor" to its flagship iPhones slated to launch in 2019. Bloomberg said this represents "another step toward turning the handset into a leading augmented-reality device," citing "people familiar with the plan."

This year's iPhone X includes a 3D sensor embedded in the front-facing camera system, which Apple dubs a TrueDepth camera. This sensor is used for features such as Apple's Face ID biometric authentication as well as for the company's animated emoji feature, Animoji.
