I’m not defending this, and I know that me using an iPhone is going to be unreliable to 99.9% of Lemmy users, but once upon a time phone audio was in mono and it sucked. Idk if Apple did this first - I imagine they stole it from Android like every feature - but whoever had the idea to use the ear speaker as a second audio channel was a genius. Listening to music on iPhone speakers is like 100x better today than it was like 5 years ago.
HTC is known for popularizing stereo speakers, although a couple of earlier phones had them too but they weren't marketed well, if at all.
I briefly had a Windows Phone circa 2010 and it had fantastic sound. It even had a little folding stand so the speakers could be uncovered.
