Apple would have worked hard to build a 3D laser at the back of the iPhone 8, which would allow better depth detection for augmented reality applications.

A source, speaking to Fast Company, said that 3D lasers were destined for the 10th anniversary iPhone, arriving this fall, but can be returned to the next iPhone in 2018.

3D lasers will make sense, given Apple's ARKit announcement at WWDC 2017 in June. CEO Tim Cook also said the company is focused on AR on VR and made great predictions of new technology in the interviews this year.

At the beginning of the year, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, one of Apple's most specified analysts, said the camera face-to-face would have laser effects for authentication.

Apple forcing prices down?

The augmented reality is still in early childhood, with offers like HoloLens headsets and Microsoft Magic Leap that are not yet available to consumers. Apple's entry could force prices down and open the playing field for developers, but ARKit's first partners do not seem to make their apps too ambitious.

IKEA, one of Apple's launch ...
... partners, will launch an AR application that allows buyers to place furniture in their own home. At the launch, users will scan an item in-store and test it at home, but in the future, IKEA can open its entire catalog to customers without having to visit the store.
