Most iPhones prior to the iPhone 6 had all dual speaker grilles flanking the connector port, but this is the first time the phone will feature stereo speakers.

Apple's decision to introduce the stereo speakers is, most likely, linked to the highly controversial removal of the headphone jack. No confirmation of that feature just yet.
