What a Microphone Does. Dynamic Microphones | Condenser Microphones | Phantom Power | Other Types of Microphones.

It senses acoustic energy (sound) and translates it into equivalent electrical energy.
Only these two components are exclusive to the iPhone X. So technically, it only costs $105 ($80+$25) more to build the iPhone X while compared to the other regular models, yet their prices differ by over $200. The 3GB RAM that is also present on the iPhone 8 Plus doesnât come cheap either ($24).
The latest iPhone, the iPhone X, opened for preorder on Oct. 27 and hits stores Nov. 3. The pricey phone starts at $999, and every iPhone comes with a standard 90 days of support and one year of repairs. But to get AppleCare+, it will cost you an additional $199.
