Using your new iPhone to take photos may be a lot of fun. But a lot of people mistake the small hole on the rear near the camera for the flash. That isn’t the case, though. Adjacent to the camera is the flash.

The small opening you observe is a second microphone for using the rear camera to record video. When you do that instead of speaking into a phone microphone, the sound quality is far better. Through the minuscule opening that hardly anyone sees, you receive crystal-clear audio.
It’s likely that you are unfamiliar with this information unless you work in the tech design industry. As long as you position your device in the proper direction, you can rest easy knowing that the camera and audio are fully taken care of the next time you record movies.
