Apple confirms iPhone 13 series lacks noise cancellation during phone calls

17 January 2022
The feature was available on previous generation iPhones for over a decade.

I believe they are doing this coz to increase the sale of their AirPods. If there is no noise cancellation people would go crazy of the noise coming from other end and they would have to go for other alternatives when they have already bought the phone.
My question is how they did not mention about this before/during/after the launch.

          The phones do still have the mics, so I'm guessing people assumed the phone still had noise cancellation.

              how can be such a usefull feature not present on $1000 phones?

                  Since they still have the mics though, they should probably re-enable it before they get bashed big time.

                  I mean... then again they already are gonna be bashed.

I don't want to walk around with AirPods in my ears when I'm not listening to music or doing long hands free calls. This is pretty stupid design as noise cancelation makes a huge difference in noisy environments. Or is there some other reason no one has noticed degradation in this regard because of something they did to speaker itself or something? I really wonder what's the reasoning behind this.

                      They must have decided their users don't make voice calls anymore.

                            Not a Apple hater but guess this was removed to make consumers buy the noise cancellation Airpods so that they can make more revenue
