Since I had to have my iPhone replaced due to dead touchscreen spots, I figured I’d take the opportunity to do a side-by-side comparison of the June 2007 iPhone’s speaker volume with the June 2008 iPhone’s speaker volume.
Viddler video: Demo: iPhone volume comparison
A very big difference indeed!
I’d seen you tweet about the difference in volume earlier and was really curious to hear this. That is definitely a huge difference. Wow! Any idea what it’s attributable to? Have you had the opportunity to test it against another launch-day iPhone?
Chris Clark: No, I haven’t had the chance to compare it to another launch day iPhone. The iPhone on the left is a launch day iPhone, which is my wife’s. I have a few friends that have iPhones from both the launch-day, and times since (even up to just a few months ago). I plan on comparing mine against all of them.
As to what makes the speaker so much better on my iPhone than Eliza’s, I have no idea.
Wow! Big difference. Maybe it has the new speakers that will be on the new 3G iPhone?
