First, a cautionary note: please respect your ears. Once your hearing starts to go, it’s gone. That being said, iClarified conducted a test to see which model of iPhone was the loudest. They took every iPhone ever released, cranked the volume all the way up and then put a dB meter next to the built-in speakers.

If you can’t be arsed to sit through that short video, here are the results:

● iPhone 2G: 94.3 dBA
● iPhone 3G: 98.6 dBA
● iPhone 3GS: 103.6 dBA
● iPhone 4: 92.9 dBA
● iPhone 4S: 101.1 dBA
● iPhone 5: 104.0 dBA
● iPhone 5c: 102.0 dBA
● iPhone 5s: 103.6 dBA
● iPhone 6: 105.4 dBA
● iPhone 6+: 105.0 dBA
