Apple iPhone 6

We'd like to recommend Ken Rockwell's kind Audio Equipment Reviews. His assessments disagree with other reviewers, however you'll find his opinions balanced and on-target.



We'd like to recommend his discussion of the Apple iPhone 5 in terms of subjective audio quality. Now onto the 6.

The Apple iPhone 6 is an ugly product. It has love handles on the side, just like it's American audience does, en mass. The sound, however is excellent. You'll find it sounds better than your iPhone 5. The best looking iPhone is the iPhone 4, sparingly. We'd recommend that, for starters. It works well as a music player, and it's a pitty that it doesn't come with more memory. The iPhone 5C is brutally ugly - it looks like an iPod touch.

You'll want an iPhone not as a phone, but for playing your music, as you walk. There are some nice apps that you can use with it at home, too. It's handy for taking photos, also, but a bit ungainly taking it out, setting up the photo, taking it, and putting it back. We know one gentleman who is perfectly well able to drive, carry out a conversation, and text, all remarkably well, simultaneously, but he looked like a drunk while he was getting used to the technique, and it was frightful being in the same Mercedes. Your IQ or state's laws may prohibit you from the same activity.

As for the 5, it was merely made longer, and had the 4's lovely glass panel design taken away. We admire the introduction of the Touch ID with the 5S, but really - did anything improve?
