iPhone 7 sensors

[lpuniverse]

Hello,

I saw the iPhone 7 plus has 2 sensors above the front speaker on the top of the screen. It's both a circle. 1 is visible and is for turning off screen when you make phonecalls. The other one is on the right and is barely visible. Where does this sensor stand for?

2 ambient light sensors then?

2 ambient light sensors then?

Sound like one is a proximity sensor and another one is an ambient light sensor.

No, the one that shuts the display off is a proximity sensor. Ambient light controls display brightness.
