Yes, I'd say it's about 50% louder and it's much better quality.

Yes absolutely. The speaker is much larger than the iPhones.

The speaker on my iPhone 4S is by far the loudest speaker of any iPhone since the original and the iPad 2. I did see in the latest software update that Apple said they tweaked TV shows and movies to sound louder on the iPad one and two I think. I'm very curious if the iPad 3 will be louder. I had a really hard time listening to Netflix, HBO GO, and TV and movies on the iPad 2 even with volume maxed. Even though the speaker on iPad 2 looked much larger and probably was larger than the iPhone 4S it definitely did not sound louder.

iPad Has 4 to 6 times more bass punch
iPad Is 5 times louder than iPhone
iPad has 7 times better sound quality

iPhone only good at 10-60% volume after that it will sound distorted higher than 70%
iPhone even the XS Max doesn't have any bass feel at all
iPhone has much smaller speaker less room and slightly quitter
iPhone Sound Quality is much worst than iPads
