According to new rumors, the iPhone 16 will have a much improved microphone, which will make a number of functions work much better. These are the benefits!
Improved microphone on the iPhone 16
It’s been a while since Apple released the iPhone 15, so we can slowly look ahead to the next generation iPhone. More and more rumors are emerging about the iPhone 16, with the iPhone 16 Pro in particular getting new features. Yet the iPhone 16 is not lagging behind, because it seems that all new iPhones will have a greatly improved microphone next year.

According to the usually reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16’s microphone is more resistant to water. The new microphone should also be able to handle disturbing ambient noise better. This way, your voice will be recognized faster and better in a noisy room. This has several advantages, especially in combination with iOS 18.
Advantages of the new microphone
Apple is already working hard in the background on iOS 18, which will mainly bring AI-related functions to your iPhone. Siri will then become much better, especially with the improved microphone of the iPhone 16. With the new microphone, Siri will respond much more accurately and the voice assistant will hopefully go off suddenly less often. The dictation function of the iPhone also becomes a lot better with the microphone.
Another advantage of the new microphone is of course better audio for videos. The sound of videos recorded with an iPhone is already good, but it gets even better with the iPhone 16. In addition, the iPhone 16’s microphone ensures higher sound quality during telephone calls. Disturbing ambient sounds are probably better filtered out there too.
Microphone on the iPhone 16 much more expensive
Unfortunately, the new microphone also has a disadvantage, because the part is much more expensive than we currently see on, for example, the iPhone 15. The iPhone 16’s improved microphone reportedly costs at least twice as much. It is not yet clear what this means for the final price of the device. In any case, there is little chance that Apple will lower the prices of iPhones again, as happened this year.

Apple presents the new iPhones every year in September, so we will have to wait a while for the improved microphone of the iPhone 16. We can only expect the next iPhone in September 2024.
