Great test. How about testing the handset speaker (the one that works during calls)? I have heard from friends who say the iP5 handset speaker is not as loud as the iP4S handset speaker.

Phone Arena did not feel a need to test the loudest Galaxy (there are 10 trillion of them), Optimus or Lumias... why does Apple need so much attention?

because there have been complaints about the weak speaker volume on iphones especially since iphone4 redesign.... I've Never complained about my speaker volume on Droid OG, Thunderbolt, Bionic, RazR, Nexus, or SGSIII but have had issues hearing voice navigation on iphone 4 and 4S so i'm glad to hear the 5 is louder.

Are you referring to a sensor test? If so, what sensor? Decibel meters are an objective way to test sound level.

weirdly the iphone 4s did better than the iphone 5

Beat me to this by 5 minutes - yes, this is weird. I think it is possible that Apple may not only be using different screen suppliers for the iPhone 5, but possibly different speaker suppliers. I have compared a 4 iPhone 5 phones to my 4S, using the same YouTube clip, max volume: 3 were definitely softer, but one was noticeably louder...go figure.

Call me crazy but isn't it always the best ever compared to previous iPhones?

I know this is a little off topic, but seeing all those iPhones side by side.... Apple's design is boring and tired. I still dont get why this phone keeps selling.

Yo iP5 dudes, don't drive your iphones to the maximum output trying to compare which is louder. The speaker grill might loosen up, you never know...:P

Let me guess, they have "The most advanced sound in the world."?
Who cares about this? Who walks around playing music on their phones on loud like a boombox? That was cool on the old Motorola flip phones 6 years ago.
