▲Lidar options in iPhone 12 Pro Max PVT models
The main function of this lidar on the iPhone 12 Pro Max is to assistance the camera to auto focus, and at the same time improve the target detection ability during video shooting and night scene shooting.
It is worth mentioning that iPhone 12 Pro Max will support video recording up to 4K 120FPS and slow motion shooting at 4K 240FPS. Current mainstream Android flagship phones generally only support 4K 60FPS video shooting. It can be said that in the video shooting field where the iPhone has obvious advantages, Apple has further left its competitors.

Of course, the enhanced night scene mode still exists. It will increase the exposure time after turning it on, but it is best to use it with a stabilizer. Apple also specifically stated that the super night scene mode is not affected by whether the lidar is turned on or not. In addition, there are advanced noise reduction, high color depth shooting, zoom and other functions in the camera options.
▲SafetyKorea Exposure Information
According to Techinsight’s disassembly, the battery cost of the iPhone 11 Pro Max is about $10.5. According to Guo Mingchi, the cost after reduction is about $5.5.
Apple shipped about 200 million iPhones in 2019. According to this calculation, By “shrinking” the battery panels, it can save Apple nearly $1 billion every year. Of course, we are just rough It is estimated that the iPhone 11 Pro Max sold by Apple is unlikely.
Of course, Apple’s doing this is not without reason. On this generation of iPhone, Apple must “do everything possible” to reduce costs in order to barely keep the price basically unchanged, because the cost of 5G modules currently seems to be very high.
According to Appleinsider reports, the cost of each iPhone 12 supporting sub-6GHz 5G will increase by US$75, while the cost of millimeter wave 5G-supporting models will increase by approximately US$125, which is far from The cost can be recovered from the battery.

5. The strongest mobile phone chip on the surface
In addition to today’s spoilers, the chips of the iPhone 12 series are certainly one of the core focuses of attention. However, information about the manufacturing process and performance of the A14 chip has been exposed as early as the beginning of the year. But today, TSMC recently announced more details about its 5nm process.
According to the data provided by TSMC, the A14 produced by the 5nm process will integrate 15 billion transistors, which is a 76% increase compared to the 8.5 billion transistors of the A13. In terms of performance, compared with 7nm process, the performance of 5nm process products can be improved by about 15%.
Not long ago, Komiya broke the news that Apple’s A14 chip has a 40% increase in CPU performance and a 50% increase in GPU performance compared to the A13 chip. It can be seen that on the basis of TSMC’s 5nm advanced process, Apple must have made certain optimizations, thereby greatly improving the performance of the chip.
▲Detailed information of each generation process announced by TSMC
Energy efficiency has always been an important topic that mobile SoCs cannot avoid. The problem of heat and frequency reduction caused by the high power consumption of Apple’s A-series chips has also been present in recent generations of iPhones. According to the information released by TSMC, 5nm process consumes about 30% less power consumption than 7nm process, this also explains why Apple dares to “snap” the battery.
Currently, the CPU and GPU performance of A13 has been significantly ahead of Qualcomm Snapdragon 865,: Zhidxcom) , Author: Yunpeng
