Hi,
I was trying to find a place to test Atmos audio on my new iPhone but so far I haven’t been able to find anything. When I open Netflix it doesn’t show the Atmos symbol like it does on my tv when it’s connected to an Atmos soundbar, for example (it’s usually right next to the Dolby Vision logo).

There are many demos on YouTube but afaik those are limited to 2 channels, right? So not really atmos.

Any ideas where I could test it?

This is not bad on Youtube, a Dolby Atmos test video. It sounds amazing on my MacBook Pro !

Youtube does not support Atmos. Any Atmos demo on YouTube is output to simple stereo. Below is a screen cap of the "Stats for Nerds." Right click any "Atmos" video on YouTube and see for yourself.
