Did you see those benchmarks? Holy crap

Dual-lens depth sensing vs dedicated 3D sensor with its own infrared flood-light, depth scanner and dot-overlay coupled with an on-board neural engine. Right. Annihilated is the proper word. Apple is about to push AR into the mainstream. Just like everything else they've brought to the table since day one with electromagnetic capacitive multi-touch (first few android phones laughably used resistive touch or capacitive screens with no multi-touch)

Still no 3D touch. Still couldn't get their own fingerprint sensor solution to match Apples high-quality solution. No signs of any facial recognition unlocking mechanism on par with Apples new Face ID. the ones on android so far are so laughable. Doesn't work at night, when you have a hat, glasses, grow a beard, and can be easily fooled by a photo. Still no multi-billion dollar peripheral and mod market to support any Android phone.

Annihilated is actually not a good enough description at this point. Android users will never admit how far behind they are.

Those youtube videos if Apple AR-Kit is intriguing.

This is definitely going to be the next big thing in user-interfaces

@kmp: flagged for using the word "raped" in your post

@MonsieurX: The countless things that Android was years late with usurps your nitpicking. ;)

It will destroy the competition. Again. Like always.

@Celsius765: We all already know what specs on paper amount to out in the real world: Squat.

500 ppi on a 5 inch screen isn't reasonable. it's superfluous at best and completely useless at worst.

Take a look at our video game consoles and what people say about the 4K push. It's entirely stupid and a majority of gamers would prefer if developers focused on other aspects of graphics like consistent 60fps and higher quality textures and effects, and wouldn't you know it, over-all smoother gameplay.

Same deal. 500 ppi on a tiny screen is just flat stupid as it stands today. The average person won't discern between 300ppi and 500ppi unless, again, they held a magnifying glass to observe pixels up close.

Slap 500ppi on tablets at 12 inches or more, and that will make much more sense. This is reason. I'm exhibiting it.

Spec whoring is exactly what landed the Android camp with bloated hardware that gets trounced repeatedly by a single phone with half the specs. No thanks. Keep all that noise in that camp.

@Kjranu: iPhone 6 starts at $300 on Amazon (and still rapes every Android handset in benchmark tests and real world usage videos)

iPhone 7 factory unlocked 32GB starts at $500. And is uncontested in scientific-testing environments.

Try again.

@Kjranu: You're mistaking Augmented Reality for Virtual Reality.

When Apple revealed the first iPhone almost a decade ago, the entire tech community laughed and said they couldn't imagine doing anything on a touchscreen exclusive device.

I wouldn't bank on them not knowing how to implement Augmented Reality in a meaningful way.

Data and a user interface that is superimposed onto reality is going to be the next mainstream interface. Could take two years, could take four, either way it's already happening now.

@ttlockerroom: You have conjecture. The other side has video and benchmarks.
