Didn't know that phones could have noise cancelation. I thought only earbuds and headphones had it. But only music is important for me and noise isolation is already good.

    they'll do it to increase the sale of noise cancelling earbuds. It's just another one to add in their long list of anti-consumer practices. Don't worry you $heep, other companies will follow soon!

              LMAO they advertised this feature in iPhone 5 ads, and such a basic feature is gone now, Apple moment

                The option will come back in iPhones 14 - with a monthly subscription :) :)

                    Just their regular iMarketing where Apple is being Apple and scamming their fanbase by removing basic features and forcing them to pawn out the last of whatever they have to buy more fragile iEarbuds and iCharges and introduce them again 5 generations later as iNnovation.

                      These companies are focused on selling problem and solution separately.

                          They will introduce it in the next phone as a new feature.

                            They most probably just forgot to enable them.

                              Anonymossy, 17 Jan 2022Yeah, that's very likely to be the case. Since they... moreYa they need be bashed for doing such things, ya better inform the consumers that they have done something likes rather than a consumer finding it but again Apple is Apple

                                Meni, 17 Jan 2022Not a Apple hater but guess this was removed to make consum... more+1

                                  That's weird. Maybe they did tests and their noice cancellation didn't do much so they just removed it?

                                    I bought the iPhone 13 for 1500$+ in my country. One day I was next to my colleague at work and noticed how his Chinese phone was so much smoother than mine you guys, unbelievable! Apparently it's something called High Refresh Rate display which my phone doesn't have. I said to him that it must've costed him a fortune. He laughed and replied that it costed him 140$. Less than 10% of what I paid and still so much more smoother than mine.

                                    This was so embarassing to me. I still won't buy an android because they don't have the notches and thick bezels that my iPhone has which really sets it apart from other phones with their all-screen design but come on Apple, stop embarassing us and put HRR displays in non-pro models too. Now everybody thinks I couldn't afford the 13 Pro(which I couldn't btw) & it sucks.

                                      they know best what their customers need even if themselves don't know shit about their own needs.

                                        This is a very peculiar development, and I for one would like to hear some explanation from Apple. But having used the iPhone 13 Pro since September, I honestly can't say I've noticed.
