**Does the iPhone X use a 3D structured light depth camera?**
From the details shared during the event, it's clear that the iPhone X's front camera can collect depth information, which is different from standard 2D cameras. There are three main types of 3D cameras: structured light, TOF (Time of Flight), and stereo vision.
- **Structured Light**: Projects specific optical patterns onto an object and captures them to calculate depth.
- **TOF**: Measures the time it takes for light to travel to and from an object.
- **Stereo Vision**: Uses two cameras to simulate human depth perception.
According to technical analysis by Obi Zhongguang, Apple’s system uses a structured light approach, as evidenced by the high number of optical points captured and the way data is processed. This choice reflects Apple’s commitment to quality and innovation.

Secret IphoneX 3D depth camera
The world-famous Apple event took place at the Jobs Theatre in the newly built Apple Park. On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, Apple unveiled two groundbreaking products: the most powerful Apple Watch Series 3 Cellular and the Apple TV 4K ever released. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were also launched on schedule, but the real highlight was the iPhone X, a special 10th-anniversary edition starting at $999—well worth every penny.
The iPhone X came packed with advanced features, including the A11 64-bit 4-core processor, a stunning 5.8-inch Super Retina display with a resolution of 2436 x 1125, a rear vertical camera, wireless charging, improved battery life, and more. But what truly set it apart was the long-rumored 3D structured light depth camera, enabling Face ID for facial recognition, unlocking, and even face payments. This technology not only redefined smartphone design but also pushed the entire mobile and smart device industry forward.
Obi has developed its own 3D computing chips, depth algorithms, and SDKs. With over 300 patents globally, their team covers everything from chip design to application development. As a leader in AI, they continue to push boundaries in fields like finance, robotics, and smart home security, with new applications in mobile phones, retail, and 3D fitting solutions.

As shown in the comparison above, structured light offers superior performance at a lower cost, making it ideal for consumer electronics.
**If Apple’s technology is blocked, what can other companies do?**
Apple has been very secretive about its tech, and since acquiring PrimeSense in 2013, it has dominated the structured light market. Now, many manufacturers are looking for alternatives. However, the lack of reliable suppliers has led to issues like poor mass production, low-quality sensors, and delays in product development.
**What are the reliable 3D structured light depth camera manufacturers?**
Obi Zhongguang is one of the leading players in this field. Their Astra series of 3D depth cameras have been mass-produced since 2015 and are now used in various industries. They offer a wide range of functions, including face recognition, gesture control, 3D mapping, and environment sensing.
**Which companies use Obi’s 3D cameras?**
- Alipay uses Obi’s Astra 3D camera for facial payment.
- HP’s Sprout 2 uses Obi’s ASG series for 3D scanning.
- Sambo robot uses Obi’s Astra series for machine vision.
Over 1,500 companies worldwide have adopted Obi’s 3D sensors, including major brands like Tmall Magic Box, financial institutions, and top-tier robotics firms.
Recently, Obi Zhongguang announced a new generation of compact, high-resolution 3D sensors that are energy-efficient and suitable for smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. These will significantly impact the design of future mobile devices.
