This exciting improvement to iOS 6 will significantly improve the quality of acoustical measurements that can be made with the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, without requiring a dock connector accessory for audio input.<\/p>\n<p>Below are 1\/3-octave headset input frequency response comparisons for the various iOS devices that support iOS 6. More details regarding the headset input and built-in microphone will be presented in the days ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Update (9\/19\/20120, 7:32 PM): It should be noted that these are electrical frequency response measurements. When making acoustical measurements, the overall frequency response will depend also on the microphone that is used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>iPhone 4S Before iOS 6\/Now<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
