iPhone 4 Noise Cancellation has been Delivered by Chip From Audience

iFixit says that the chip in charge¬† for handling the clamor¬† cancellation capabilities of the iPhone 4 was¬† finally been found, with chip teardown firm Chipworks pegging it has having come from Audience, the assembler¬† of high-end voice processors found in such devices as the Nexus One. The identification was created more difficult by Apple‘s move to get the chip “white-labelled” by Audience to remove any specific identifying marks on the outside of the chip package.

 

 

 

 

With Chipworks finally performing a disassembling procedure to check¬† the internal structure of the chip in question, telltale signs including an “Audience” die marking buried inside the chip confirmed that the company is indeed in charge for the audio signal processor in the iPhone 4.

The confirmation shows us  yet another high-profile design win for Audience, which has detected its chips incorporated into smartphones from Samsung, HTC, and other manufacturers and has organized itself as offering the top-performing noise cancellation technology in the industry.
