<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/iphone-8-3d-sensor.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=962&h=481)</div><p>A well-known Apple supplier, Largan Precision, has announced that it is shipping 3D depth-sensing lenses in the second half of 2017 (via Nikkei (http://asia.nikkei.com/Business/AC/Largan-confirms-shipment-of-lenses-with-3-D-sensors-in-2H?page=1)). Although it didn’t identify brands by name, industry experts believe that these camera components are for the iPhone 8.</p>
<p>The special sensors will enable face recognition functionality, allowing users of the high-end iPhone to unlock their device just by looking at the screen. Largan already supplies most of the rear camera lenses used in the iPhone 7 (http://amzn.to/2pRrM4r) and iPhone 7 Plus (http://amzn.to/2pRqcPU).</p>
