I saw my coworker’s phone the other day and it had like four or five cameras on it and it blew my mind. Why are there FIVE cameras?!?! :what

I’m not sure about 3D but each camera can have different focal lengths which lets you have more in focus I imagine? I haven’t investigated the combining part very much

They actually do capture depth info now that can be converted into 3D layers, not completely accurate but I think iPhones can make 3D wallpapers from your photos now by default
