Hole Next to iPhone Camera

If you have an iPhone, you may have noticed a little hole right next to the camera lens. If you don’t have an iPhone, get with the times already! In any event, that tiny hole is not a second secret camera that helps Facebook and the NSA spy on you. It’s actually a microphone. Starting with the iPhone 5, there are three microphones on every smartphone. One is under the speaker grill, one is on the bottom edge of the phone, and the third is right next to the camera lens. With the three microphones, it’s easier to pick up sounds no matter how you choose to hold your phone, which actually comes in handy if you have voice recognition. That third microphone next to your lens is also important when you shoot video with sound on your iPhone.
