Apple closes ranks on the use of Animoji in older iPhone models

And it is that this week a news came to the network about the operation of the TrueDepth camera of the new iPhone X. In this news the renowned youtuber, Marques Brownlee, questioned the operation of this camera exclusively for the new Apple model Y by covering the camera, he was able to make the Animojis work on his iPhone.

In this sense, the complaint was directly focused on Apple and in it Brownlee, asked the Cupertino company for an explanation about it. So Apple itself and as we are used to it lately, has just come out confirming that taking this technology to other iPhone models is possible, but it would be an unsatisfactory user experience for several reasons.

The first and most important reason is the A11 Bionic chip mounted on the new iPhone X (iPhone 8 and 8 Plus), secondly they talk about the importance of the TrueDepth camera that only mounts the iPhone X and finally Apple says that the infrared sensor is another of the sensors that intervene so that this function is totally real and satisfactory. In yesterday's podcast we talked about the application that tries to look like the original Animoji from Apple, but really and although it may "seem" it is not the same, it is true that the camera of any iPhone on iOS 11 or higher can use this app but there is a big difference between the two.

And it is that the TrueDeph camera is undoubtedly the key so that this new feature that we have in the Messages application and that makes the Animojis work really well according to our facial gestures works perfectly, and Obviously this hardware component is something exclusive to the new iPhone X model.
