Yes, the iPhone 18 Pro absolutely has a LiDAR camera. This new model supports powerful 3D scanning capabilities with
Dot3D.
Continuing Apple’s trend of keeping its advanced depth-sensing hardware exclusive to its top-tier devices, both the new
iPhone 18 Pro and
iPhone 18 Pro Max are equipped with the built-in LiDAR sensor.
What does this mean for 3D scanning?
It means the iPhone 18 Pro lineup is fully compatible with professional 3D scanning apps like
Dot3D right out of the box.
Because the LiDAR sensor fires invisible lasers to measure exact distances, the iPhone 18 Pro can capture the verifiable, scale-accurate 3D point clouds required for
surveying,
BIM, and
forensic work. You don't have to rely on the standard cameras' soft approximations—you get millimeter-precise depth data.
