nothing on improving the mic and moving away from bluetooth =(
- joshstrange 4y ago> A redesigned inward-facing microphone works with voice enhancement algorithms to better recognize and articulate your voice, so it sounds more natural when you’re on phone and video calls. Also where are you getting "moving away from bluetooth"? That was a rumor (that they might move to their U1 tech for better audio quality) but they didn't mention that in the presentation nor is it mentioned on their site.

- wellthisisgreat 4y ago> sounds more natural Well that’s a problem nobody had.
- xu_ituairo 4y agoI think they mean that it's a shame that they haven't moved away from Bluetooth.
- joshstrange 4y agoAhh, that makes way more sense. I didn't apply the "nothing on" to the second thing and while I think moving off bluetooth is a plus I know there are others who see it as a negative and I assumed that's what they meant since moving from BT was rumored ("Apple doing something proprietary", even though clearly the market isn't moving quickly to fix the issues with BT).
- jws 4y agoUWB would provide plenty of bandwidth at close range with better energy efficiency, but it will not match bluetooth for distance. With sufficient software complexity you could switch back and forth between them depending on conditions… so that sounds like a business decision on cost to implement and benefit. Or some clown has a patent conjoining some aspect of UWB and audio, or protocol switching. Apple never says "we don't do this because there is a patent in the way". It isn't their image.
- RockRobotRock 4y agoIf they did this, I bet you would be complaining that they're using something proprietary and that its not compatible with Android phones.
