Hi! I reported to the list the arrival of my iPhone 6 and how I was pleasantly surprised at the audio quality of the internal speaker, yes still only one speaker but a very good sounding one at that.
You don't need an iPHone 6 to be running the latest operating system which is IOS 8.2 released earlier today, IOS 8.x will work on all models from iPhone 4S and above though some people who use iPhone 4S have reported that the performance of IOS is very sluggish and can crash, IOS worked okay on my iPhone 5 but performance is snappy on the iPhone 6. Anyway that aside there are some interesting enhancements to audio worth the mention and the most obvious is a control to turn "Audio Ducking" on and off, by default this is on. "Audio Ducking" is the effect whereby all other sounds output from the iPhone are reduced in volume whilst Voiceover is speaking, "Audio Ducking" also occurs when you're playing music or listening to radio, watching video etc, if the iPhone sounds an alert such as an incoming eMail or SMS the music is reduced in volume so the alert sound is clearly audible. The effect can be turned off through settings or the user can add the control to the Voiceover Rotor so it is accessible all the time and can be conveniently changed if and when needed. There are many other audio enhancements to be found including many to the onboard Hearing Aid App which makes the iPhone easier to use with many different types of hearing instruments on the market, the hearing aid App can be accessed through the "Accessibility"options under the "General" options in "settings".
