Bassy speakers on iPhones?! :confused: lol
The 6+ loudspeaker is warm, non-fatiguing with a rolled-off treble and yes....it has a stab at lower mids and upper bass. By comparison the 7+ has a brash, shouty treble and zero bass. I find it unlistenable for audio, the piercing treble makes my ears bleed. For a premium smartphone the speakers are lousy, unless you judge sound quality purely by how loud they'll go.
 
One other interesting point is that Brandon accidentally ran the battery test on his iPhone 7 with a Safari Content Blocker enabled, which blocked all the ads on the sites that the test visits. In doing so, battery life rose from the normal result of 9.22 hours to 10.03 hours, demonstrating how the increased workload and long-running network requests from ads and trackers really impacts a smartphone's battery life.

I found that pretty interesting...
