The iPhone 12 Pro is one of the best phones in the market, considering its audio output quality. It has a dual stereo speaker with noise cancellation and spatial audio features. It has two speaker grills in the bottom part of the phone. It should be kept in mind that, the left speaker grill is not a speaker but instead it is there to catch audio inputs for your voice calls and Siri. The audio-only comes out of the right speaker grill and it is not a faulty feature. The two speakers of the iPhone 12 Pro are located on the top and the bottom of the phone. The top speaker also serves its purpose as an ear speaker when in calls. However, some users have reported a lot of different audio issues.
