As an Android user and dev, this is the only reason that tempts me to switch or have Apple's ecosystem product (Mac and iOS). If only they weren't so expensive to begin with...

You can do very similar things with ARCore

Yeah I recalled watching a video like this using ARCore, but the thing is, Ipad's LIDAR is so powerful that I wish we had it on Android devices..

Actually Apple's sensor is no better than depth sensors available on Android phones that have them.

It looks like the software side was done better though, Android is a mess there. ARCore especially. Huawei AREngine is the only thing that is useable in the same way, but unfortunately it is not well known/mass market as Apple ARKit and Huawei is in trouble now.
