HOW *dramatically improved* is the audio?

[ncsmith4]

Has anyone seen any reviews on just HOW "improved" the audio is? I keep reading that its improved, but HOW MUCH SO?

Can I stand across the room and hear my speakerphone? Can I play music on it in my car and hear it over my singing along?

It means the audio through the earpiece is clearer and more crisp. The speaker phone is not that much louder people say, but it is more clear.

The third improvement is audio quality, which has taken a gigantic step forward. You sound crystal clear to your callers, and they sound crystal clear to you. In fact, few cellphones sound this good.

Greatly improved audio, much louder speaker

Thanks for the eye roll... my question was HOW MUCH is it improved. My benchmarks being the questions that I asked, albeit a little extreme, but Id like to know quantitatively, and not just read the same people saying "its greatly improved" when we all know most of those reviewers are in bed with Apple anyway...

It's 47% better.

You are asking for an objective answer to a subjective question that no one here can answer anyway (except me). It is a 2.8698 improvement over the original iPhone.

Not many people here have one at this stage. I think it's perhaps best if you ask your specific question in this thread just for today.
