Apple lidar patent

Wen | Mingmei Unlimited

I believe that all the fans who have been paying attention to Minmei's infinite fruit powder should know that after the release of the iPhone 12 series last year, although Apple brought a brand-new design, a more powerful processor and a rear lens, it was still spit out by some netizens as a toothpaste-squeezing product, and even shouted the slogan of "Thirteen Fragrances". Thirteen incense was originally a seasoning, but now it has another meaning: iPhone 13 incense.

However, Apple is used to naming the iPhone version with a number ending (iPhone X is an exception). In numerical order, it's iPhone 12' s turn, but this is not necessarily the case.

The first is the naming of the new iPhone this year. Although "many media used the name" iPhone 13 "when reporting this year's new Apple machine, it was actually just for the convenience of readers", before Apple released it, the name of the new machine was always unknown.

It is speculated that the name of iPhone is the annual "reserved program" of the media and insiders. Apple has its own naming system for the iPhone, but sometimes it will be adjusted. Suffixes such as "s", "Pro" and "Max" are not available in every generation of products. This year's iPhone just caught up with a sensitive number "13". Will Apple stick to this naming rule? Recently, it was reported that Apple may skip the order of "iPhone 13" and adopt the name "iPhone 12S". At the same time, next year's iPhone will not use the name 13, so it will fast forward to iPhone 14.

Secondly, this year's iPhone 13 is expected to adopt new technologies to reduce the size of the iPhone "bangs" and make the top display area larger and display more content. Although bangs have not been completely eliminated, reducing the size of bangs is also a good progress for fruit powder. At present, Apple has applied for a patent for off-screen technology, which is not far from the full-screen iPhone.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Minmei is infinite. Today, Guo Ming, an analyst at Tianfeng International, said that all four models of iPhone 13 will use batteries with larger capacity, so the new model will be heavier than the iPhone 12 series. Apple seems to want to improve the endurance of the iPhone through the iPhone 13 series product line, and has adopted a series of design changes, which has brought a larger battery and improved efficiency.

It should be pointed out that the battery capacity of iPhone 12 series is actually smaller than that of the previous generation. Among them, iPhone12/12 Pro/12 Pro Max decreased by 295/23 1/282 mAh respectively. However, thanks to the improvement of efficiency, Apple has maintained the battery life of the iPhone 12 series at the same level.

In order to balance the reasonable size and comfortable feel, Apple had to steal the space inside the phone. For example, Guo Ming predicted that Apple's next-generation iPhone 13 would integrate the SIM card slot with the motherboard and reduce the thickness of the front optical module. In addition, the main hardware specifications of iPhone 13 series will be changed to bangs reduction, and the screen will adopt more energy-saving LTPO technology.

Judging from the current analysis, it can basically be reduced, just to charge more batteries. It's really hard for Apple to improve battery life this time. The battery life of Apple iPhone 13 should be stable!

In addition, from the outside world, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13Pro Max will be equipped with high refresh rate screens that support the variable refresh rate of 120hz. In addition to providing a high refresh rate as high as 120Hz when necessary, the high refresh rate screen can also reduce the refresh rate when the screen changes slightly to improve the battery life. In addition, A 15 chip may also provide some iterative efficiency improvements to enhance battery life.

Although Apple used the high screen of LPTO technology on the ipad a few years ago, it didn't use any applications on the iPhone. At present, the most likely guess may be that Apple is worried that the battery life of the iPhone is useless. There are also cases that Apple wants to "catch a long-term big fish", so it chooses to "squeeze toothpaste" slowly. But in any case, this year's iPhone 13 series has added a high screen, which definitely improves the user experience. However, it is worth mentioning that the high screen can only be applied on Pro and ProMax.

By the way, in the investor report released this week by Tianfeng International analyst Guo Ming, the future development trend of the iPhone rear camera was mentioned. Guo Ming believes that the new iPhone released in the second half of 2022 will adopt an integrated lens design, and the Pro model's rear telephoto lens will be upgraded from 6P to 7P.

Guo Ming thinks that the iPhone adopts an integrated camera design, which will effectively save the space inside the fuselage and improve the durability.

Guo Ming also mentioned in the report that two Pro models with rear super wide-angle lenses unveiled in the second half of 20021will be upgraded to 6P. In addition, the 8P lens module will be widely adopted by mobile phone brands from the second half of 2022 to the first half of 2023, and the iPhone will be upgraded to adopt a periscope telephoto lens in 2023.

IPhone never wins by hardware parameters, but is good at optimization. When domestic manufacturers have already become the mainstream, iPhone 1 1 is equipped with three cameras for the first time, and iPhone 12 Pro Max adds a laser scanning lens for LIDAR radar. Periscope lens may become the biggest upgrade of iPhone camera in recent years.

Of course, for consumers, iPhone can narrow the gap with Android flagship in shooting, and the most significant improvement is to improve the daily shooting experience. The performance of the "telescope" of the iPhone is worth looking forward to.

In addition, it is reported that iPhone 13 will cancel the physical charging interface and will realize wireless charging through MagSafe magnetic attraction.

The most important thing is that there is no hole in the fuselage. How does iPhone connect to iTunes brush? It is said that Apple has a solution to this problem, so it will be solved by magnetic attraction. The general realization method is to design a contact at a fixed position on the iPhone body, and then exchange data through magnetic connection. Of course, it is also a question whether this method is stable enough.

After all, when you brush, you have to exchange data with the Apple server. At this time, the equipment connection must be kept as stable as possible, otherwise the brush machine will fail again. There is also the problem of data transmission speed. Wireless is definitely slower than wired. Apple is also curious about how to speed up.
