Replacement iPhone impressions 0
Now that I've lived with my replacement iPhone for half a day, I've got a few impressions of note:
First, the finish on the aluminum case (on the back of the phone) seems more tactile than on my previous phone. This could be just a new-versus-worn issue, but I don't recall the original one having quite the tack that this one has.
Second, this new one is much louder than the old one. This applies to both the speaker on the bottom of the phone (used for UI clicks, speakerphone, etc.), and the speaker at the top of the phone (the one that you listen to when you're on a phone call). I recall that a previous software update was supposed to increase the volume, which it did, but I'd say it's pretty clear that they've made some hardware changes to that same end.
