Yeah Apple's Lidar sensor is one of the most compelling features on their phones. I'm seriously considering switching from Android to iPhone for the first time in my life in part because of it.

I've always wondered Android manufacturers copy the wrong things from Apple and not the cool things like the LiDAR sensor.

The LiDAR on the iPhone is faster but produces less detailed models. Photogrammetry is slower but produces higher resolution models [1].

I don't know if I would drop $1000+ just for that though.
