How many microphones are there in an iPhone 8?

There are three microphones in an iPhone 8. They are located at the phone’s top, bottom, and backside.

1. Bottom microphone

This microphone is used for phone calls. It’s located at the bottom of your iPhone on the left side of your lightning port. Some people confuse the speaker grills with the microphone, but the speaker is located on the bottom right side of your iPhone 8.

2. Front microphone

This microphone is used for video calls, Siri, voice recording with the Voice Memos app, and phone calls. It’s located at the top of your iPhone near where your ear would be if you’re holding it generally in portrait mode.

If you have a black iPhone 8, this camera might be almost invisible as it blends in with the phone’s body. However, it’s visible in any other color.

3. Rear microphone

This microphone is used for video recording and photos with the rear camera. It’s located at the backside of your iPhone right next to the camera, so you can’t see it unless someone takes a picture of your phone from behind!
