iPhone 13 Users Want Apple to Adds Noise Cancellation Option That Came With Earlier Models

The iPhone 13 series debuted in September, with a slew of improvements over previous models. However, one major feature that could be useful in some situations has been absent from the new iPhone family since its release.

It’s the dedicated noise cancellation feature that iPhone 13 users have been clamoring for for months. Apple, on the other hand, has yet to respond to consumer demand. The most recent iOS version did not include a noise cancellation option for the iPhone 13 series. However, it is present on older models.

According to 9to5Mac, a user on Reddit complained a few days ago about the lack of a noise cancellation option on the iPhone 13. Several other users agreed with the complaint and questioned why the new iPhone series lacks that support. Some users also stated that the absence isn’t due to a hardware limitation, as the iPhone 13 series has a sufficient number of microphones to support noise cancellation.

On the Apple Community forums in October, a user complained about the lack of a noise cancellation option on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. An Apple Community Specialist responded to the user’s complaint by providing a link to a tutorial on how to change the audio settings on the iPhone.

The provided link does mention Phone Noise Cancellation, which users of older iPhone models can enable by going to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/ Visual. However, the option is not available in the iPhone 13.

Another user commented on the Apple Community forum post, stating that Apple is aware of the problem.

Gadgets 360 confirmed the absence of a noise cancellation option on the standard iPhone 13. According to user reports, the problem also exists on the iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and iPhone 13 mini.

Since the lack of a noise cancellation option was reported on the Apple Community forums, the iPhone maker has released a few iOS updates, but the problem has yet to be resolved.

Apple released iOS 15.2 earlier this month, but it did not include the noise cancellation option for the iPhone 13 models. The feature is also missing from the iOS 15.3 beta.

Due to the lack of a noise cancellation option, iPhone 13 users are unable to control whether ambient noise during phone calls can be reduced when holding the phone to their ear. Users can, however, use the Control Centre to activate the Voice Isolation feature, which works similarly to noise cancellation and helps you block ambient noises using machine learning.

Gadgets 360 has contacted Apple for clarification on the lack of a noise cancellation option and will update this space as soon as the company responds.
