Do you need iPhone Pro models for virtual camera tracking inside UE or the base iPhone models are more than enough?

So, I am in a dilemma. I want to explore Virtual Filmmaking and 3D real-time camera tracking inside Unreal Engine using Live Link and CamTrackAR. I’m confused about which model is best for that as I’m looking for one to buy.

The baseline iPhone models (15/15 Plus) have a TrueDepth camera which is more than enough to do camera tracking, right? Does LIDAR play any role in this? Do pro models give better tracking data since it has TrueDepth and LIDAR?

Honestly, I don’t see the need for the Pro model, but let me know if it’s a better option or if the base model would be more than enough.

Thanks.
