What is the benefit of using LASER scanning vs. LIDAR that some Apple iPhone 3D-Scan-Apps are using?

One word: Precision

The latest Apple PRO iPhones have a true TOF 3D LiDAR scanner (depth) built in. LIDAR 3D precision is much lower than laser precision. While LASER 3D scans typically start at a 0.2mm resolution, LIDAR scans typicalls start at 10mm making LASER scans 50+ times more accurate.
