iPhones already have this feature if you hold your phone up to your ear. There is a microphone in the back of the phone near the camera that phase cancels out background noise from the input from the front mic.
- agotterer 8y agoThey need this for the AirPods then. Everyone I call while outside in NYC says the microphone is super sensitive and picks up all the surrounding noise.
- shemtovo 8y agoThey just filled that patent. 5 mics on the device for beam for separation
- ixtli 8y agoThat's really cool! I knew that it did sound canceling but I thought it was all software!
- Antrikshy 8y agoI remember when they proudly talked about all the mics on the iPhone 5 used for this when they presented it on stage.
- mygo 8y agothey also recently added 4 (or 5?) mics on the new iPad Pro so that it could do facetime calls while cancelling out the feedback. Wouldn’t be surprised if a software update makes it possible to use all of those mics for some very good ambient noise cancellation during face time calls
- villgax 8y agoMaybe they can do semi-dense audio cancelling with some ML model for cancellation on a Mac as well.
