Are they available for $10 or is that the price some "iPhone Teardown!!" article wrote?

Because I tend to be sceptical of those articles. They start with the premise of "everything is worth as much as the sum of its component parts", which is already hit on their credibility (if they did the same, recursively, they'd notice that nothing is worth anything). Then, they guess some random values for Apple's purchasing costs.

I'm not sure why you asking this. The poster quite obviously indicates you can trivially buy them on Aliexpress. You can verify this yourself in less time then it took to type this comment. And indeed the front-facing camera can be had for very cheap. The back module with Lidar is more expensive though.
