The iPhone XR is not the only phone with a microphone issue. There are a number of other Apple devices that have had this problem. Apple has not addressed the issue and it is unclear when they will release an update to address it. It is very difficult to find the microphone on an iPhone XR because it is hidden in a spot that most people don’t even think about looking for it. It can be found under the camera lens cover at the top of the screen, which makes it harder to find than a standard microphone on other Apple devices. .The iPhone XR ships with the same noise-canceling microphone used in the AirPods, which has been noted as a possible reason for the problem. The phone’s proximity sensor is also placed on top of the camera lens, so it could be interfering with the microphone and sound quality by detecting that something is in front of it. The lack of a standard microphone on the iPhone XR, combined with the proximity sensor’s interfering with it, could be a contributing factor to the issue. The iPhone XR microphone is also primarily located on one side of the device close to the bottom of it rather than centrally located as most other iPhones are. The proximity sensor is not placed centrally, but does create an interference which could be contributing to the issue. It was also stated that the proximity sensor may have been moved in order to accommodate for a front-facing camera, which is not supported on an iPhone XR. The proximity sensor is still located centrally, and it could be interfering with sound quality as well as the microphone by detecting objects in front of it.

There is more than one microphone (mic) in iPhone XR. iPhone XR microphone locations are listed below.
