I have notices that sound only comes out of one speaker on the bottom of my phone. Is it playing in mono or is the other "speaker" actually a microphone?

The iPhone 4 only has one speaker. The matching screen on the other side of the phone is for the microphone.

This is also the case for the iPhone 2G, 3G and 3Gs. – drfrogsplat Nov 12 '10 at 4:11

iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS are almost the same: on those, the speaker is left and the mic is right. – Torben Gundtofte-Bruun Nov 12 '10 at 7:44
