I got the iPhone 6. Having upgraded from the iPhone 5s, I personally think the speaker sounds a little better than in the 6. Anders, if you heard the 6 in a shop maybe you are comparing the sound of voice Over? In that case you would almost certainly have heard it as the lower quality compressed version rather than the high quality one which needs to be installed.
In any case, is anyone seriously suggesting they would do any music listening from a phone speaker? That's just silly! (smiles). As for claiming to be able to tell the difference from uTube... I will say I've listened to some podcasts and books using Voice Dream with various voices on the iPhone 6 and it sounds fine, better than the 5S which I used extensively. But really, a pair of good quality headphones or a Bluetooth speaker is always preferable to any type of phone speaker - which is never going to be HiFi.

Hi, To further improve the confusion there is more bass on an iphone 4S then on the 5 serious. :-) Brian -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- From: Jeremy Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 6:45 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Re: Iphone 6 not impressed with the speaker. Having listened to a youtube video on a comparison between the original 5, 6 and 6 plus, I can say that I definitely notice a difference. It's most noticeable between the 5 and 6, but even from the 6 and 6 plus, the plus does sound a little more clearer. Unfortunately, the microphone that the uploader was using wasn't super high quality, but it was certainly decent enough to detect the levels of bass between the 5 and 6. I've also got a buddy who's got a really nice sounding mic, a yeti, and while in stereo, the differences between the two phones is huge, the 5 and 6. Take care. Blessings.
