iPhone vs Pro Mic

How good is the mic on the iPhone? We know it takes killer video and photos but can you record acoustic guitar with it?
In this video, I shoot out an iPhone against my favorite mic for recording acoustic guitar of all time... the Neuman KM184. How does it stack up? Find out here!

For a basic strummer, this is encouraging. Your comments at the end are really on point.

Wow the Quality on the Iphone is very Surprising

I can say I'm impressed, but not surprised, by the outcome of this comparison.
Modern phone technology has vastly improved over these last few years. First with the cameras, then video, and now audio.
I'll note that I watched and listened to this on my phone ;-)
The bulk of videos I've shot for my own channel have been with my Android phone. It doesn't do too bad for sound, either.
I do have a Zoom video camera now, and prefer to use that for capturing RUclips videos.
Thank you 🙏

As most people do! The differences are a little more apparent on headphones I'm sure but.... the phone sounds good! It's undeniable.
