Re: Iphone 6 not impressed with the speaker.

2014-10-03 Thread Anders Holmberg
Hi!
Actually there were a lot of noice in that store when i listened and also 
voiceover sounds distorted in my 5 S.
Well of course no one listens to music in the phone speaker itself.
Maybe teens that wants to show all the world how cool she or he is.
But actually yesterday i got a pair of bose headphones.
I think they are called ae something.
The phones is very comfortable though.

Okay, we're talking iPhone cases now just in case anyone is wondering .

The case I bought isn't a particular brand and nor does it have any particular 
or exciting features, its just a leather case.

I have heard of other cases that actually have internal stereo speakers in them 
and - given the iPhone 6 is only 6.2MM thick - then there's plenty of room for  
such cases to grow in the market - pardon all the dreadful puns . -.

Pretty much what I think too.

I certainly wouldn't want to be listening through the internal speaker of
any device such as an iPhone for no longer than is necessary and - if you're
listening to iPhones as we have to do ti use them - then the Internal
speakers just keep getting better for use with Voiceover but if you're
planning to listen to Podcasts, read books and so on then it won't be long
before you find the internal speaker to be an irritation.

I have listened to Internet radio and so forth using the internal speaker of
my iPhone 6, its a pleasing listen but I much prefer something like the Bose
Slund Link Air, Mini or III to listen through if I'm going to listen to
Internet radio.

I'm typing this eMail on a Bluetooth keyboard whilst listening to feedback
from Voiceover through the internal speaker and that's perfectly fine for
me, introducing extra elements such as Bluetooth speakers whilst typing can
cause problems such as delays in response to what you're typing from
Voiceover etc though the modern Bluetooth devices with latter versions of
Bluetooth seem to be a lot better in this regard.

I'm expecting my leather case for my iPhone 6 to arrive today, will be
interesting to see how Voiceover sounds on the iPhone 6 after its been put
into its new home.

Re: Iphone 6 not impressed with the speaker.

2014-10-01 Thread Dane Trethowan
Pretty much what I think too.

I certainly wouldn't want to be listening through the internal speaker of any 
device such as an iPhone for no longer than is necessary and - if you're 
listening to iPhones as we have to do ti use them - then the Internal speakers 
just keep getting better for use with Voiceover but if you're planning to 
listen to Podcasts, read books and so on then it won't be long before you find 
the internal speaker to be an irritation.

I have listened to Internet radio and so forth using the internal speaker of my 
iPhone 6, its a pleasing listen but I much prefer something like the Bose Slund 
Link Air, Mini or III to listen through if I'm going to listen to Internet 
radio.

I'm typing this eMail on a Bluetooth keyboard whilst listening to feedback from 
Voiceover through the internal speaker and that's perfectly fine for me, 
introducing extra elements such as Bluetooth speakers whilst typing can cause 
problems such as delays in response to what you're typing from Voiceover etc 
though the modern Bluetooth devices with latter versions of Bluetooth seem to 
be a lot better in this regard.

I'm expecting my leather case for my iPhone 6 to arrive today, will be 
interesting to see how Voiceover sounds on the iPhone 6 after its been put into 
its new home.

RE: Iphone 6 not impressed with the speaker.

2014-10-01 Thread John Gurd
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.

Re: Iphone 6 not impressed with the speaker.

2014-09-30 Thread Kelly Pierce
I had no illusions that audio on the iPhone 6 would be lackluster.
iTunes is falling behind in innovation with online music services
severely out innovating Apple. Apple CEO Tim Cook knew he had an
iTunes problem and had to do something different in music for Apple to
stay cool. Apple bought Beats Music in part to modernize its music
offerings beyond the suburban bland mediocrity that is now iTunes.
Beats was acquired in the spring, too early to be incorporated into
iOS8  or the iPhone of 2014, the features of which are developed and
designed many months in advance. I believe it will be until the 2015
introduction of the new iOS and iPhones will we see what the new
people and change in culture will mean for Apple users. One big way
for Apple to differentiate itself would be to re-establish the
company’s supremacy in online and portable music.  I am looking
forward to iOS 9 and the iPhone of 2015 to learn about any changes in
audio from Apple on mobile devices.

Having listened to a youtube video on a comparison between the original

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

5 and 6.
Take care.
