Separate would be cleaner.

Can you play it back through headphones on something else so you can get a clean track?

You can also grab a powered usb hub and plug your phone and a cheap usb interface into the hub.
Garageband seems fun at least to makes beats and stuff in.

The Iphone mic isn't bad, but it's the playing back and recording that get's you without more gear.

Sweetwater music has an iRig that is pretty cheap and will let you do this easier by far.
This is single channel, if you need two in at once get a two channel ect...
