In recent years, fast and simple acquisition of geospatial data, fast processing, and distribution is a trend that characterizes geoinformation technologies. The primacy of the acquisition is based on image processing technology and laser scanning. This paper attempts to answer how acceptable these technologies are incorporated into smartphones which can be used for data acquisition. A comparative analysis of the results collected by smartphone and professional laser scanners has been made. The results presented in the paper confirm the usability of the iPhone LiDAR device in the acquisition of point cloud and the development of 3D models of indoor spaces.
