Stereo and spatial output through iPhone speakers is nonsense when the app has no landscape mode

Why does Apple give us stereo, or even spatial audio through the iOS Apple Music app, when you can only listen to it in landscape orientation, which the app does not support?

Mind boggling.

Why does Apple Music switch to Mono in CarPlay? Since getting the 16promax when I connect to my CarPlay the Apple Music starts playing in mono meaning it sound like it’s coming from one speaker after about five minutes of driving it switches to stereo mode and clearly coming out of all speakers. It did not do this on day one (Friday) it started doing this day two Saturday. Is it some new setting on the phone for Apple Music, is it iOS 18 glitch? Anyone else experiencing this odd switch?

Apple Music rotates on iPad but not the iPhone 14 Pro Max Can someone tell me why a much older iPad's Apple Music application rotates but the iPhone 14 Pro Max running the latest iOS 16.6 and the latest version of Apple Music cannot? Microsoft's Edge and Google's Chrome can rotate on that phone. I do not understand why Apple decide that on the most expensive phone it should be engineered to NOT rotate. To me this is poor software engineering. Note: iPad's operating system used to be called iOS same as iPhone's.

Apple Music Lossless or Hi-Res audio playback via Wi-Fi connection, not Bluetooth or USB I understand using the lighting to usb wired connection will allow better quality Apple Music audio playback, but is it possible to achieve the same, or better, audio quality playback using a Wi-Fi Carplay AVR to iPhone connection?
