I shoot video professionally so I put the iPhone 16 Pro's most hyped feature to the test

IPhone 16 Pro shown held in hand.

One of the more intriguing demos Apple showed off at its iPhone 16 launch event was this new feature called Audio Mix, which uses the various microphones throughout the phone to deliver studio quality audio when you record videos. What stood out to me most is the ability to isolate certain audio sources in the video, so that you could get the sound you’re looking for.

Considering my background as a videographer, I always take these new audio recording features in phones with a grain of salt — much like my experience with Magic Audio Eraser with the Pixel 8 Pro. Apple's interpretation isn’t too far off with its ability to dampen audio sources that aren’t in-frame with the video, so I really want to see if this can actually work in real world scenarios where there’s a lot of background noise.
