iPhone 4 vs iPhone 4S: Speaker Volume

Name: iPhone 4 vs iPhone 4S: Speaker Volume
Description: I test the speaker volume of the iPhone 4 vs the iPhone 4S. One is significantly louder. Which one? Watch and see. I did not modify any sound or volume in post production. What you hear is exactly what the external microphone heard, unmodified.

I was thinking... Apple usually releases the white iPhone about 8 to 9 months later after the new black iPhone is released. I wonder if they will release a variety of colors for the iPhone 4S sometime down the road.

I noticed this too. I also noticed something else. Please do a vibration comparison. The 4S seems incredibly soft.

[MortiferV]

Yes! I was a little disappointed with the iPhone 4 speaker.. glad they made it louder :E

[MANE]

Really love the comparisons and info we find out from you Jeff!

[GSFBeastV]

this is one of the thing i notice when I got a my iPhone 4s. Before I bought the phone, I didn't see any review about the upgraded speaker of any sort. Soon or later, I knew someone would notice this beside the other bells and whistles in the 4s. Great for when you need to face time with people while your parents is blasting music during a karaoke session. Two thumbs up for the upgrade.

I did quite like this test, I thought it was louder too, but it's nice to see a well thought out comparison done between the two.

Does anyone knows if an iPhone 4s speaker assembly works on an iphone 4?

[DAVIDSDIEGO]

Nice review! I never thought about testing that feature since Apple didn't market it...

[spikeyyz]

Hello, I was wondering if Iphone 4s has 2 speakers or it's just the right one like the Iphone 4. Thanks.

[djmonkfish]

Thanks buddy great vid and a really important thing to know

[ehjhey]

really not that big a deal that he turned up the phone volume. He was doing a video based on the loudness of the iPhone speaker, it's really not odd to instinctively turn up the volume.

great vid btw

[SebasRamone]

Great! .. just the info i was looking for .. thanks from Spain :)

@gallon111 the left speaker is a microphone not a speaker the tight one is the actual speaker

[MahmoudAlromani]

@vidimad360 The iphone 4 doesnt have two speakers thats the mic
you can go to apple website and check the specs it will show it is the mic
Regards

sounds good but can u do a video about how much better the bluetooth is also.

[shtechvn]

@litleeagle20111 iPhone has only one speaker. the left one is microphone.

[TheMegaLaneek]

the headphone volume between the 4 and 4s will be the same for the same set of headphones. for example the iphone 4 playing music through the apple headphones is the same as the iphone 4s playing music through the same set of apple headphones.

[majkooll]

Nice test, but you can use for it application called "dB Volume".

[nicknoltes]

The "speaker" on top is just a microphone. I believe the right speaker on the bottom of the phone is a speaker and the left one is another microphone

i never really had complaints on the i4 speaker so it's interesting apple did this. nice test.
