Bet many of you were thinking – “isn’t that the flashlight?” Nope.

Here’s the flashlight, while the tiny hole we’re talking about is on its left.

So now, you might want to know: what’s its purpose? The “tiny hole” is known as the “Noise Cancelling Microphone”, and basically does what it says it does – it filters away the noise in your surroundings, and helps you achieve an optimum voice call experience.

So thanks to that seemingly-useless tiny hole, whoever you’re talking to on the phone can hear you clearly. If you’re a techie (or just really, really love your iPhone), this video is a must-watch. But if you’re lazy, Apple’s Phillip Schiller explains in it that the iPhone 5 and above models are equipped with three microphones.

The ones on the top and bottom are responsible for clearer sound. So when you’re blasting the latest Taylor Swift hit in the car, you know which hole(s) to thank.

Seems weird, since you put your ear to hole #1 instead of #3, but it’s Apple – they’re always one step ahead of us.
