Hello, welcome to the Dark Horse Commune
Here's the thing:
Dark Horse saw a report that the iPhone 13 series did not have a phone noise cancellation function.
Dark Horse was very surprised, how is this possible?
I have this feature on the iPhone 8 Plus.
As it is taken literally, this feature can reduce ambient noise during calls, and is useful in complex environments.
As a result, Dark Horse also quickly looked at the iPhone 13 in his hand and found that there was really no such function.
Oh, apple what's going on?
This may be a bug, and it will definitely be added back in the future. Dark Horse initially thought the same thing, but according to 9to5 Mac, a foreign netizen shared his conversation with Apple's support department on Twitter.
The lack of this function on the iPhone 13 series is not a bug, but Apple's intention to castrate the "phone noise reduction" function.
Why did Apple disable phone noise cancellation on the iPhone 13 series? Just when the answer was still confused, in this matter, Apple changed its mouth.
After that, some media intervened to ask Apple, but Apple changed its mouth and said that this is a bug.
From not a bug to a bug, two statements in a short period of time, people are a bit confused.
If, like Apple's latest reply, this is a bug, then Dark Horse doesn't understand.
How big a bug does this have to be, and it hasn't been solved for so long? You know, on this issue, the netizen mentioned above has been in contact with Apple for several months.
If it is not a bug, then why does Apple suddenly change its mouth?
Dark Horse's guess goes like this:
At first, Apple did want to remove the "phone noise reduction" function on the iPhone 13 series, but then the public opinion became louder, which led apple to change its mouth.
As for the reason, Dark Horse hopes that Apple can retain this feature on the iPhone 13 series.
If the user feels that this function is of little use, it is a big deal to turn it off by itself, rather than Apple directly deciding for the user.
Now iPhone 13 series users, if you want a clearer voice call, you can only call up the "Control Center" during the call, click "Microphone Mode", and select "Voice Highlight".
Going around in a circle has increased the user's operating costs a lot.
Making decisions for users is also a "routine operation" for Apple.
Dark Horse impressed most about the 3D Touch function, which achieves more functions through the pressure-sensitive screen pressing software.
The latter was replaced by Haptic Touch, but Haptic Touch was only implemented through software algorithms, similar to the various options that appeared in the Android phone long press software.
Perhaps for the sake of a unified experience, in the later update, Apple replaced the iPhone that originally supported 3D Touch hardware with Haptic Touch.
And in order to promote AirPods, Apple canceled the 3.5mm headphone jack, including apple's cancellation of the "phone noise reduction" function on the iPhone 13 series, all of which are the same.
However, the problem is that Apple canceled the 3D Touch, or the 3.5mm headphone jack, there are flat function appears, and Apple now cancels the phone noise reduction function on the iPhone 13 series, but does not see a better alternative.
It is undeniable that Apple's "unauthorized decision-making" sometimes brings a good experience to users, and because of Apple's strength, Apple has been doing a good job in terms of software ecology and privacy protection.
It's just that "overbearing" sometimes, it is easy to bring reaction, once a functional product concept is not so humane, it will bring various inconveniences to the experience.
And Apple, can you make sure that every time you "force", users will like it?
Not all operations have to be decided for the user, and it is not so difficult to give the decision to the user. Once Apple was very stubborn not to allow users to change other input methods, now it is not possible?
