The iPhone 5’s improvements aren’t all visual though. It’s also got a bitching new audio system.
First of all, the new iPhone has three microphones, at the front back and bottom. That gives much better voice clarity.
Speakers have five magnet transducers, which is up from three.
And the earpiece? Built in noise canceling of your own audio out. That’s actually super impressive.
These are the silent killer upgrades. Expect the iPhone 5 to be the best sounding smartphone in the world.
