Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

I ask because i read in some posts about phones being a mono speaker but i think thats only when using it without headphones?

Iphone has only one speaker, so it is mono but it still contains both channels which makes it better than pure mono. But if you use headphones then you get real stereo.

It depends which iPhone you're talking about. They've had stereo speakers for a while now. There is only one speaker grill on the bottom but they amplify the earpiece speaker and it acts as the second speaker. So it technically does have stereo sound.

Unless each channel is being expressed from a separate speaker, both channels doesn't matter. It will either give you part of the audio with mono, or cancel out the dimensional audio effect with both channels coming from a single source. Technically doesn't cut it.
