Not to be outdone by the new video recording capabilities of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, Apple also carved out time during its ‘Glowtime’ event to talk about the audio recording features in its new phones. Specifically, the new Audio Mixing feature that allows the iPhone 16 Pro devices to adjust the sound capture with video recordings — so that the audio can focus on a specific source or blend multiple ones.
Apple showed off how it works with actors playing out a scene inside of a restaurant, with two actors talking amongst themselves while a waitress off screen interrupts them with their food orders. With Audio Mixing, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are able to isolate the audio to only the individuals in the frame — while essentially removing all other background noise. What’s interesting about this is that Apple repeatedly mentions this for the iPhone 16 Pro models.
