Truedepth from FaceID since iphone 13 got significantly worse - its very bumpy and noisy - we had to do significant denoising and filtering to make it useful again for 3d scanning
Lidar is a let down. First I would expect that Lidar would trickle down to non-pro devices. Come on apple FaceID got introduced in iphone X and next year it was in all iphone models. Lidar was introduced in iphone 12 pro and still only pro devices have it. As 3rd party dev it makes me reluctant to make any app using it if it limits my user base by 50%.
I'm also disappointed they didn't improve FaceID or Lidar in the last ~5 years (Truedepth still only 30fps, no camera format to mix 30fps depth + 120fps rgb, still big latency, Lidar still low resolution, no improvement to field of view)
