Using phone as a microphone?

Your Iphone microphone will be better than a cheap one, once you can afford the microphone purchase a good one because if you buy the cheap one first you will waste your money, save it for a good microphone.

Depends on the content you want to do.

Some content require higher quality production (entertainment), and some it doesn't matter as long as it delivers value (informational).

For example when people search for something like computer repair, programming, etc., the Indian guy with a super heavy accent, recorded on a crappy resolution smartphone, and gets straight to the point is almost always going to be better than the higher production channel with 2 sponsored posts, a 10 minute intro, and barely covers the topic. As long as your deliver value, you'll be able to compete with the more polished channels.

For entertainment, I almost always click out immediately whenever I hear a cheap microphone.

If you are recording on the street is a good option

If you are using good phone like iphone, you do not need microphone.

Try for invest for a new mic, will give you lot of quality.

Hello so I want to start doing videos and while I have a computer to edit I don’t have a microphone, should I use my phone (iPhone SE 2020) or buy a microphone, can cheap ones do the job ?
Or is there any app on phones that provide good audio recordings? Thank you
