Can anyone comment on audio quality?

I'm in London this week and may pick up a 6 / 6+. I use my phones for work email and music most of all and very few reviews I've read comment on audio.

Got some decent Sony earbuds, as well as some neck band Sennheisers for the gym. My current 5 sounds OK - are the 6's better, noticeably?

Thanks.
I've not noticed any difference in audio quality, but I only use the standard earphones, or wired to various car systems.

Oh well, I'm now switched over from a galaxy s3 to an iPhone6. I Just fancy a change and now the iPhone has a proper size screen I thought I would give it a go along with the other two iPhone6's for my wife and daughter....

Taken the plunge as an upgrade from my 16GB 5. Went for a 16gb 6 in silver as storage isn't aproblem as everything I use is cloud (iTunes Match etc) based and I'm never far from wifi. I've never maxed out my current 16gb iPhone storage in 2 years of using it.

Remember those 9 bent phones Apple mentioned?

Somebody tried to track those 9 owners down. Current count is over 400...

I saw a friend of a friend on facebook posted images if his bent note4 from the box. Not just iPhones then...

It's an expensive thin piece of metal for god's sake... you can hardly blame it on the manufacturer.

If I were to sit on my £500 pair of glasses and they bent (which they would) should I go back to Oliver Peoples and ask them to replace them? No.

Why should Apple replace phones bent by negligence?

Arrived this morning and all set up and working. Feels a good upgrade from my 5 and the reachability function works so well for using it one handed. I also really like the TouchID.

My 6 has developed a nice clicking noise when I press the middle of the glass. Not I'm not pressing too hard.

No such problem here.

Did have it with my 4 years ago.

even if there are a few hundred people with an issue, they've sold millions. If it's turned round a bit in your pocket, you can feel then tension over it when you bend your legs to sit or tie your shoes or whatever... it's obvious when your putting a force across it. Just fking don't do that, surely? Also if you sit on it in your back pocket, you're a fking neanderthal that deserves only a tin can and some string.

I'm really, really impressed with the battery life.

Was still on 75% at 6pm last night, I took it off charge at 7am.

Granted, I didn't use it much yesterday but still, happy with that!

Integration with MacBook etc really has changed how I work.

Maybe battery life can be put down to not having to pick the phone up as much during the day.

I just really wish I had a way of answering WhatsApp messages from my Mac.

Fortunately for me most people i want to speak to use iMessage, if not, Facebook messenger.

However, iMessage is not always reliable between devices, ie if I switch between iPad, Mac, iPhone it sometimes misses conversation or doesn't always come through

Mine has started to switch off at 5% battery. You can switch it back on again, lasts a minute and then decides to turn itself off again. Very strange. My iPhone 5 used to be able to be used down to 1% before deciding enough is enough.

Maybe the percentage / sensor is less accurate.

Let it drain so that it is completely empty, then let it fully charge over night. The battery is out of calibration.
