  4. The IR cam is actually based on Primesense structured light depth sensor. I believe it would be a global shutter, but I have to admit I forgot the specs of the sensor other than I recall the pixels were huge and the sensor size was about 1MPixel. AF would be provided by the depth algorithm to optimize for SNR.

    I think the original Primesense sensor was Aptina, definitely not ST, but maybe they switched.
    Face ID would most definitely not require 1.4MP ... I would think it's less. Of course such a large sensor could be binned down, too.

    Why use structured light? Because of Primesense acquisition, of course!
