Right? You'd think this would be a no-brainer. There are so many things like that that would be a huge market if they did it.
Finally, now in 2023, I saw a microphone on Amazon that is interview style, but connects directly to the iPhone without going through multiple systems first. This was already possible many years ago, but nobody bothered to do it. Now the microphone is one of the hottest selling things in the world and I'm sure now we will see one from Shure and Rode. They could have made it before, but just didnt. I'm happy for the Chinese company (probably somebody that saw the obvious opportunity and created the design and sent it to China to be made). I hope they get very rich haha.
