I don`t, and won`t ever own a "smart cell phone", as all I need & own is a Motorola~$50.00 flip phone
To each his own, but I cannot imagine not having ready access to a veritable tool box of functionality - including a bubble level!
Calculators, calendars, bible, still and video camera, alarm clock, contact list, access to bank and credit cards (along with ability to deposit via app), streaming music, local music, remote control of my music systems, SPL meter, navigation with geolocation, real time celestial map, notes of all kinds, photos, shopping apps, Keynote for business presentations, Find Friends geolocation, running / health monitor apps, golf app for determining distance to pin, ballistic chart to determine muzzle rise for long distance, Delta app for status, gate information, seat assignment, upgrade status, etc., Hilton virtual key, Trip It for sharing and keeping track of wifey's and my upcoming itineraries, Uber for ground transportation, Canary app to monitor security cameras in and around house, Roku and Oppo remote, and various weather and radar apps.
IAnd no I wear no tinfoil hats !! HA !!
I'm only three years your junior, but apparently I do.
II`m pretty sure the mic has very limited audio bandwidth, and is probably very mid range peaky by design for maximum voice communication clarity
The phone based recordings don't sound "mid range peaky" to these ears if not a bit bass shy. Which is why I provided clickable links in post # 19 so that you could hear the results and determine for yourself.
