The reason for the lack of 3D is probably that the two cameras have different lenses. Once is wide angle the other is telephoto.

You can still do it, you just have to tweak your calibration parameters to accept a different focal length for the second camera. It's a huge pain but doable.

Maybe it will be another software update, or something 'software new' for the iPhone 7S or 8 like they did with live photos & the 6S.

Can the perspective difference be fixed in post? It's not going to be pretty interpolating the pixels using the other lens's data.

I think you are thinking about more traditional Lightfield cameras - this doesn't appear to be that.

It definitely won't be pretty, but whomever puts the work in will probably benefit from it somehow.
