Hi everyone.
I upgraded to iphone 5 and was lucky enough to get one on launch date, a white 64GB on the three network.
After about a week I noticed the sound output from the headphone socket didn't seem to be as loud as my iPhone 4 was. I noticed the difference again in my car via the aux input. I then did a simple comparison with a friends iphone 4S, played the same song on max volume through a set of portable speakers, and the difference is quite stark. Not just loudness, but the sound quality coming from the iPhone 4S was much better than my 5. And yes, both had EQ settings off and no volume limits applied... I was so concerned that I took my 5 to the genius bar, and they gave me a new one without asking too many questions. Unfortunately, the new one is exactly the same... sound quality and volume are less than my old iPhone 4 and a friends iPhone 4S...
Has anyone noticed this? perhaps this is how the new phone is made - or have I been given another faulty one?
