Recordings using the built-in microphone are mono, but you can record stereo using an external
stereo microphone that works with the iPhone headset jack, or with the Lightning connector
(iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin dock connector (iPhone 4s or earlier). Look for accessories marked
with the Apple “Made for iPhone” or “Works with iPhone” logo.
