Hi all I’ve just recently sold my s22 ultra (exynos) variant and got a Xperia 1 IV but wants my impressed so I’ve gone for the iPhone 13 pro max and it’s really my first iOS device as I have been with android for around 10 years

Just a couple of questions is they a youtube app like youtube Vance in android?

And is they a volume booster for Bluetooth audio that speaks system wide (for youtube ect) as I use a Bluetooth speaker a lot and was after a bit more volume like I could override on android

Many thanks

Also I’m quite liking iOS although it has its lockdowns compared to android it feels more polished and the battery life seems ok
 
idk about Youtube Vance as i am Youtube Premium User for quite some time now.

and as for volume booster i dont think there is one...the only solution is get a bluetooth speaker with big power(in my case Anker Soundcore Motion+ does the job and if you get 2 they can connect)
 
Yeah, to my knowledge, nothing like Vance exists for iOS, so it's either pay for premium or put up with ads in the app. 😕
 
Bluetooth sources (iPhone in this case) can't "boost" bluetooth volume over the receivers max volume. The source device of bluetooth just has remote control over the receiving speakers volume control. And iPhone can't increase the volume over the receivers max volume anymore then a different TV remote for your TV can increase it's max volume.

The iPhone is just transferring an audio files 1's and 0's. Outside of the codec the bt connection is using the source (iPhone) is the least impactful element of bluetooth volume and audio quality.

There is a catch though. If the iPhone has control of the volume then it can artificially limit it, which it does.

Goto settings > sound and haptics > headphone safety > reduce loud sounds - toggle off.

This only applies to bluetooth receivers detected as headphones. And its implemented in the least invasive way but its still a limit. Its essentially 'sound check' for headphones.

Androids varient is called "absolute volume" and I believe to turn it off just removes remote control ability so the OS can't effect the speakers volume. I could be wrong about that though as its just a wag.

Volume boosting apps that aren't a complete scam just EQ audio frequencies to increase perceived volume. If this is done generically then increasing the volume this way comes at the expense of audio fidelity. Apps that aren't just a cash grab can have profiles for specific speakers so you can get the most out of it without harming the sound quality to such an extent.
 
Thanks for the reply’s does the brave browser support 4k hdr playback if so I’ll delete youtube app and use that thanks
 
4K isn’t detectable on an iPhone. And nothing on YouTube deserves 4K anyway (my opinion).
