The other edge of that sword, however, is that any innovation is better than no innovation at all. What’s coming will be an improvement, to be sure, but it’s not going to live up to the Dolby Atmos experience so many of us love and enjoy at home. What we’re going to get is the Dolby Atmos Mobile experience that will be louder and clearer, but probably not offer the cool immersive audio we’ve heard on various Hi-Fi systems. It just won’t be possible using the iPhone’s smaller drivers and amp. (Image credit: Apple) Atmos and its limitations on phonesĪfter hearing about all the things Atmos does with spatial audio, why aren’t we more excited about it? Well, unfortunately, because it’s not true Dolby Atmos - and without the proper overhead speakers, it’s probably not going to offer the best Atmos experience. Let’s also not pretend that the iPhone 11 is the first to support Dolby Atmos Mobile - it’s supported on the Samsung Galaxy S9, Galaxy S10, Note9, Razer Phone, Oppo Reno, Sony Xperia 1, OnePlus 7 Pro and many others, all of which give us a good reference point of what it could sound like on the iPhone 11 when it comes out later this year. The company has certainly delivered that on other home entertainment products, but the question is if Apple and Dolby can do it with the iPhone 11. Dialogue is automatically enhanced, volume is evened out, and you’ll hear virtualized, immersive audio for all your content.” What Dolby says is that with Dolby Atmos on mobile phones “you’ll notice louder, clearer sound without speaker distortion or rattle for softer sounds like piano notes and quiet voices and for louder, more intense sounds like action movie explosions. Sound should be clearer and more dynamic, and dialogue should be clearer.
In theory, Dolby Atmos on iPhone 11 will offer a significant improvement to the way Apple’s phones have sounded in the past. It’s worth mentioning that there are a number of spatial audio developers out there at the moment - DTS, Creative Labs and Sony all have their own formats / techniques for spatial audio - but really Atmos is leading the pack in terms of name recognition and support. That last bit about Dolby Atmos requiring extra speakers to work is important and will likely be hotly contested by reviewers, influencers and even Dolby itself in the months to come - especially once the iPhone 11 comes out. Here's what a Dolby Atmos setup looks like at home.
