Noise cancellation is not a noise gate that clamps down and mutes the mic when someone isn't talking. It actively cancels background noise using phasing techniques, most importantly during conversations. When done well, it's a very nice feature.

Noise cancellation in the next iPhone?

Yep, great audio, but the video shows that in lower light situations the iphone is pretty much as bad as the competition. But then again I wasn't planning on replacing my cameras with a phone anyway.
Compression doesn't cause the jittery way the background moves. Thats the camera, and it's evident in Apples own videos unfortunately.
Actually, in the full version of the HD sample we got yesterday, there is absolutely no jittering or tearing of the iamge....maybe it's your computer that cant play it smoothly?
Also, I believe this video way made using the front facing camera which is much lower quality than the rear cam and also doesn't have good low light sensitivity...
I understand that you automatically want to downplay the results...but you can't claim apple was lying if they weren't even referring to this front camera!

The motion of the background itself? Surely that's an artifact of the camera vibrating during motion.
What you are describing usually happens on CDMA networks, such as Verizon and Sprint. They usually do this over the network end rather than on the phone end, but the end result is the same. And I agree, its very annoying. GSM does not have any kind of built in noise reduction/cancellation features.
No. Watch the official Apple video. The background and often the foreground stop moving and then kinda leap to catch up. Its evident in this video as well. That's the optics and is a limitation of a phone camera. But again, who was buying the iphone in hopes that it would replace a real video camera?
You also believed that slow-mo required fewer frames per second so, no offense, but I don't put a lot of trust in your technical expertise.
Lol...yeah, seriously...I cant believe you still have the balls to act like you know what you are talking about on here...it's plainly obvious you don't.
I'm telling you that it's your computer that apparently can't play the files back smoothly...because it's perfect on my end, as well as the clip of the outdoor field we got yesterday..

Or when AT&T drops the call.
With AT&T, you'll never really know if it's dead silent because the phone's noise cancellation works so well or if the call suddenly dropped for no reason at all.
I actually hear a slight ambient noise when I turn on the noice-cancelling feature on my Sony headphones, fwiw.
No it is a phone to phone thing or device to device.
I have talk on the phone with people who have had AT&T who done the dead silent thing, CDMA that has had the back ground noise and that dead silent thing.
Now some blutooth devices will do it.
As for the iPhone having noise cancellation I am not impressed by it because it is a little late to the game on it. Blackberrys have had it for years. My GF who has a blackberry it is really nice because it cuts out most of it not all the background noise. Now on the blackberry it works very well that even when one of us turns on our speaker phone the other end of the line can not tell that speaker phone is on. But generally we are in quite rooms by ourselves when we turn on speaker phone but zero bleed threw to the other end happens.
We both have blackberry 8900.
LoL..... so you're saying that if a phone is has n/c then you can't hear that person? Hmmmmm, guess apple made a very bad move putting it on a phone that no one will be able to use
Seriously, what is it with people bumping 3 week old topics with absolutely pointless, garbage posts like this?
And you fail for not realizing the guy who said we aren't sure if the new iPhone has a noise cancellation mic posted that 6 days before the keynote.
Yeah hopefully this is an option that can be turned on or off.
I like the idea that i can tell the mrs that i'm actually sat at home on my PC rather than quing up for the next latest Apple product that i will hide under the bed or popping some shapes out on the nightclubs dance floor. "yeah luv i'm just tucked up in bed"
