Apple's next-generation iPhones could pack 3D cameras, a new report from Bloomberg has hinted. Sony, which is the biggest maker of camera sensors in the world, is mass-producing improved 3D sensors owing to revived interest from several technology giants, including Apple. It claims these sensors would appear on various smartphones as early as next year. Here are the details.

First up, what are 3D cameras?

As the name suggests, 3D cameras would make upcoming smartphones capable to capture content in 3D.

The technology failed to evolve years ago, but Satoshi Yoshihara, the head of Sony's sensor division, told Bloomberg it will make a major impact in 2019.

The company is bullish on its next-generation sensors, hoping they will power several smartphone features and increase its earnings
