Apple to launch iPhones with 3D cameras next year

Apple Inc. plans to launch iPhones with a more-powerful 3-D camera as soon as next year, stepping up the company’s push into augmented reality, according to people familiar with the plans.

The rear-facing, longer-range 3-D camera is designed to scan the environment to create three-dimensional reconstructions of the real world.

Just... sigh. Give us a new iPhone with a smaller form factor. Just leave the cameras as is.

It may not be a new idea, but in true Apple style they will perfect it and make it awesome. Can't wait to try it.

Apple sometimes remind of me the slow browsers meme with their releases ... just seems they're fairly late to the party :/
