At the moment, very little is known about Apple's plans with the new rumoured 3D camera. Now a new report published by 9to5Mac suggests that the upcoming iPhone 8 may feature a major upgrade to the front camera. The analyst further goes on to say that combination of front camera and 3D sensor would allow the iPhone to generate a 3D selfie which could be used in augmented reality.
