Hidden iPhone Remote Built into Headphones
Posted by: ipp in Technology, tags: Apple, iPhone, Tricks
This is nothing new but perhaps one of the things majority of people do not know, or at least I didn’t. On the right ear bud cable of the iPhone headphone, there is a small plastic piece, many of you know this is a microphone so you can talk on the phone with your headphones.
But, did you know that is also a button to control the built in iPod? If you push it once it will either pause or play, and if you push it twice it will skip to the next track.
So to sum it up your iPhone’s headphones will:
- Produce sound (Duh!)
- Record sound
- Act as a remote to the iPod
- Answer/End Calls
Enjoy!

Will the remote function work on the iPod Touch?
unfortunately it will not work on the iPod touch!
This is great… shame it doesn’t work with iTunes when plugged into a MacBook as well though!
Good READ! Interesting Information about the iPhone!
Actually, the remote will fully function with the new generation MacBooks! Both the microphone as well as the remote control function
