wow never thought of that, i would like to know this too. no offense but y cant you just move it and see lol.
could be for headphones. but if it is new to ios 5 then maybe they plan to add a second speaker in future devices.
i think that is for the speakers ? if u move all to left it will only sound the left speaker and if u move to the right then sound it
It's not mine, I don't have iOS 5, its just a picture. Doesn't make sense to me though, haha. I'd like to get this cleared up
the iPhone does kind of have two speakers. There is the one next to the mic, but there is also the one you hold to your ear when on a call.
But yeah I am going to go along with everyone else and say that this setting is for when you have headphones or external speakers. I'm kind of surprised at the lack of EQ/settings the iPhone has when it comes to playing music. I guess when I first heard about the iPhone I thought it was going to be like a phone with an iPod built in to it. Turns out it was but it was also a lot more than that. But for some reason that whole "it's like an iPod, but..." train of thought stuck in my head and when I first got on board I was expecting some serious music functionality that the phone still lacks to this day.

Could this also be a control for which channel (left, right, or both) come through on the one speaker? Though I don't know why you would chose only one.
