I JUST COPIED THIS FROM and . HE MADE ALL THE RESEARCH AND WROTE THIS ENTIRE THING. I JUST POSTED IT BECAUSE I THINK IT CAN BE USEFUL TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. ORIGINAL COMMENT:
It appears that Apple is quietly replacing or removing the noise cancellation tech in all of their products to protect themselves in an ongoing patent lawsuit.
Timeline:
• 2002-5:
• 2011-9: iPhone 4S released, introducing microphone noise cancellation using multiple built-in microphones
• 2017-7:
• 2019-10: AirPods Pro 1 released, Apple's first headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC)
• 2020-10: iPhone 12 released, Apple's last phone to support microphone noise cancellation
• 2020-12: AirPods Max 1 released, also featuring ANC
• 2021-9:
• 2021-9: iPhone 13 released, removing support for microphone noise cancellation
• 2021-10: AirPods Pro 1 firmware update 4A400 changes its ANC algorithm, reducing its effectiveness - confirmed by Rtings measurements (patent workarounds?)
• 2022-5: AirPods Max 1 firmware update 4E71 changes its ANC algorithm, reducing its effectiveness - confirmed by Rtings measurements (patent workarounds?)
• 2022-9: AirPods Pro 2 released, with revised hardware and dramatic "up to 2x" improvements to ANC (much better patent workarounds in hardware?)
.
This happens all the time in software. You don't hear about it because nobody can talk about it. Everyone loses. Blame the patent trolls.
Thanks for writing all this. It helped me clarify why Apple reduced the noise cancellation effectiveness and I hope this will help a lot of other people. Also if you want me to remove the post for whatever reason just dm me.
Edit: If you want to give awards DON’T GIVE THEM TO ME, go to the original comment and give the award to , he deserves it!
