Fov

Question

There are some measured results available for some older ios devices, but I cannot find the FOV numbers for newer models, iPhone 5s ~ 6s Plus and iPad 4 ~ iPad Pro. In addition, the numbers listed in the link above do not correspond to some other calculated results.

I know that the FOV number can be read using the following API

NSLog(@"Camera FOV is %f",myCamera.activeFormat.videoFieldOfView); 

However, since I do not have all the models available, and the reading numbers available for some models also do not correspond to the measured / calculated results, I was wondering if there are reliable FOV numbers for most, if not all iPhone / iPad models. Thanks.

I think you can take a look at

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeviceInformation/Reference/iOSDeviceCompatibility/Cameras/Cameras.html

Table 4-5 iPhone 8 / iPhone 8 Plus / iPhone X Front Camera

Table 4-12 iPhone 7 / iPhone 7 Plus Front Camera

Table 4-15 iPhone 6s / iPhone 6s Plus Front Camera

Table 4-17 iPhone 6 / iPhone 6 Plus Front Camera

Table 4-19 iPhone SE Front Camera

Table 4-21 iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2nd generation) / iPad Pro 10.5-inch front camera

Table 4-23 iPad Front Camera (5th Generation)

What about all the FOVs calculations out there. In addition, they are from the apple, so I believe that they are reliable.
