Apple has steadily packed its iPhones full of more and more exciting features over the years, but there are loads of innovations you’ve probably never noticed, including a tiny hole just next to the camera, reports The Sun.
So what on Earth is this tiny indentation for?
Well, it’s actually just a small microphone designed to capture sound coming from the direction the lens is pointing.
It was first introduced in the iPhone 5S, Metro reports. The iPhone now has this microphone as well as ones on the top and bottom. This means it can pick up sound no matter how an iPhone owner is holding their gadget.
“We now have not two but three microphones. This helps in Facetime calls, in videos, we can use them for noise cancellation, and we can use them for applications like Siri,” Apple’s Phil Schiller said when he first announced the three microphones.
