This new feature looks interesting and may be useful as a starting point for complex parts with organic shapes.
Following this I had a look again at photometry tools on android (no iPhone here
), tried this one
https://www.qlone.pro/ . At least it gives a result, which was not the case when I tried similar tools a few years ago. Can it provide good enough results is another story...

Interesting, yes. Usable...

My thought as well. We'll have to see how Apple does.

While not usable as-is, a mesh simplifier might make it usable as a starting point.

These scanners have the same problem with Lego parts: the shiny surface and the small size. For the first problem, just use talcum powder or similar. The original color is lost, but you get a better geometry. There are also sprays to get a mate surface. Just be sure you can remove it later without damaging the part. Other tricks:
- Add texture to that surface such as speckles and stains to make the work easier for the app. Use only when the original texture is discarded.
- Use a textured and not patterned background, for example, advertising brochure. Qlone app uses a special texture to know where the phone was when taking the photos. I usually use software that don't have that kind of texture: Meshroom, 3DF Zephyr Free, etc.
- All the elements must be in focus: part and background
