Nice test! The 8 sounds "fuller" in addition to being clearer. It's not just on the high end... the mids are also less muddied. Overall, it now sounds like a speaker I might actually listen to....
I can't imagine too many people listening to music over iPhone speakers -- at least not by choice.
I do suspect that millions a day listen to multiple streaming (mostly mid-frequency) videos over the internet -- such as those on news networks, FaceBook and YouTube. But few of those involve music. So, the extra volume could be a definite advantage -- especially if its being streamed across the room.
iPhone 8 Plus Wins!
Almost every time AI posts a video-only article, I see at least one or two people ask if they could include a written summary for those that can’t watch the video (maybe they’re at work or in a public venue where watching a video would be disruptive).
I would like to take this opportunity to join that chorus. I appreciate the time all of you at AI take to produce these quality videos. However there are many circumstances under which we can’t watch them but would still like to find out more about the content. It would be nice if you included a transcript or a TL;DR-type summary for when we can’t view the videos.
Reminds me of the Mactini
