> A redesigned inward-facing microphone works with voice enhancement algorithms to better recognize and articulate your voice, so it sounds more natural when you’re on phone and video calls.
Also where are you getting "moving away from bluetooth"? That was a rumor (that they might move to their U1 tech for better audio quality) but they didn't mention that in the presentation nor is it mentioned on their site.
Ahh, that makes way more sense. I didn't apply the "nothing on" to the second thing and while I think moving off bluetooth is a plus I know there are others who see it as a negative and I assumed that's what they meant since moving from BT was rumored ("Apple doing something proprietary", even though clearly the market isn't moving quickly to fix the issues with BT).
UWB would provide plenty of bandwidth at close range with better energy efficiency, but it will not match bluetooth for distance. With sufficient software complexity you could switch back and forth between them depending on conditions… so that sounds like a business decision on cost to implement and benefit.
Or some clown has a patent conjoining some aspect of UWB and audio, or protocol switching. Apple never says "we don't do this because there is a patent in the way". It isn't their image.
