The content is mixed with decent audio systems in mind.

When you listen to that content on a good system you don't have these issues.

Nolan films are a perfect example.

Imagine if we said “hey your audio is only usable on iPhone if you use this specific adapter and high end earphones”. Somehow the music industry has managed to figure out a way to get stuff to sound good on high end hardware, and passable on even the shittiest speakers and earbuds imaginable, but asking Hollywood blockbusters to make the dialog literally audible on the most popular device format is too much?

Why do you think high end audio equipment exists?

You can still watch these movies, its just sounds bad on low quality sound systems.

In a lot of bass music the most important parts are simply inaudible on an iPhone speaker.
