Apologies if already posted, I did a search and couldn't find it.

My 5S seems to have a distortion issue with podcasts. On the highest or second highest volume, the peaks (loud bits, ie when someone starts saying a word) distort quite badly. I have tested this is both Podcasts.app and Downcast, with multiple podcasts.

Note, playing iTunes tracks through the Music app at full volume does NOT produce distortion.

I notice the 5S seems louder than the 4. Perhaps the speaker can't handle the power being put through it now? Or is mine defective in some way?

Anyone else with this problem?

(I also have the top right gap issue and a yellow screen, but this is the most annoying)
