Apple Releases iOS 6.1.4 for iPhone 5 With New Speakerphone Audio Profile

No Baseband update?

I thought it is a baseband update for t-mobile AWS frequency

That is set by your carrier in the carrier bundle.

Yeah, I know

My speakerphone sounds louder playing music... then again... I haven't blasted my speaker in a LONG time.

Did you call someone and have them play you some music? Oh you just don't know what speakerphone means

Such a minor update. Couldn't this have waited until iOS7?

Both the AWS and non-AWS iPhone 5 use the same baseband.

The new audio profile shifts the speakerphone frequencies lower so everyone sounds like James Earl Jones.

"Hi Mom, you're on speakerphone ... hey, would you mind saying, the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force"?

Not good enough. If I can't listen to my Barry White on the speakerphone (to get my foxy lady in the mood) then this update is a complete failure.

Hmmm for me listening music via speaker is somehow better, maybe not louder but quality is better while listening at full volume

I installed it and it sounds much more fuller like the iPhone 4S (which I think sounded better than the iPhone 5 speaker before) while playing music.

When i complained about the speakerphone issue i was told and i quote.

"You're hearing it wrong"

Wow!!! Looks like it was first in the pipeline!!! And why were they working on this when they should have been on the IOS 7 team? Rogue software engineering group?

These types of updates are precisely what OTA is for.

IPhone 5. Only

Fingers crossed for a Jailbreak

According to some people, the new profile makes the speaker sound 'very, very flat'.

No, just your brown eyes. Regards to Linda Ronstadt.

sorry, but that was Crystal Gayle....

Sucks that you can't even use LTE for such the smallest of updates.

Agreed! Is ludicrous that incremental updates aren't available without a wireless connection. I mean come on!

No update for my T-Mobile iPhone 5.

iOS6 - the worst thing to happen to iOS since iPhoneOS.

There's one of these posts in every story about iOS 6.

Got excited for a moment and thought this would fix the dreadful sound quality of music on the 5 compared to the 4/4S...but alas no...
I'm no audiophile, but what happened to the sound quality? Is it a cheap DAC or something?

I have a T-Mobile iPhone 5 and just installed the update.
