Neither does having plastic antenna breaks and a protruding camera lens.it doesn't look elegant to have a smattering of speaker holes on the top and bottom of the front screen.

This particular part I disagree with. Aluminum is currently floating around $.90/ pound.

That's actually cheaper than high end plastics. Polycarbonates are around $1.60/pound.

There is a big difference in machining and molding prices of course.
I think it's time for apple to up the ante and move to something more exotic like titanium.
On topic, you can definitely hear the stereo separation of an HTC One. It had nice speakers for a phone no doubt. Certainly more enjoyable to watch a quick video in bed or whatever, but not worth cutting any corners anywhere. I'd rather wireless speakers if a compromise has to be made.

Some would say the same for large plots of barren real estate.
The purpose of stereo speakers is to provide stereo imaging. About 99% of all boom box speakers or portable bluetooth speakers do not provide stereo imaging even though they have stereo speakers. If you want to experience stereo imaging you need to have speakers spaced in a triangle in relation to your head.
You will only experience true stereo imaging with bookshelf speakers or a home theater system. A small device like an iPhone will never be able to give you stereo imaging EVER. There is no reason to have 2 speakers.
well, the i6+ i have has the best sounding speaker ever. Didn't know it was not stereo but it's not needed. Apple knows best they engineered the best device bar none.
Probably even better with one speaker considering how good it is already. A waste of battery life if you asked me.

MyNexus 7 tablet has a readily audible stereo effect despite the speakers being only 8" apart.
That's a tablet. Much more physical area to work with. For a phone, 8" is larger than the entire thing. On tablets, stereo is more appreciable but still is relatively cramped.
