Appled used PrimeSense technology to enable FaceID, take a closer look at an iPhone sensor array in the notch and compare it to Kinect - https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/9/17/16315510/i...
I almost forgot that Apple bought PrimeSense in 2013 (the company that used this IR pattern technique in the old Microsoft Kinects). It's really structured light depth based sampling which is a bit different than lidar.
