    What would you want lidar in cell phones for?

    iPhone uses LiDAR for range-finding on its rear cameras, and for 3D facial imaging on its front-facing “FaceID” camera.

        But then you don’t want face-melting lasers.

        Now hold on…I can see that being useful too. Two consecutive failed face IDs? BAM!!!* face melting laser on the (probably) unauthorized person trying to access your phone.
