Well, they are wrong. The iPhone DOES have an equalizer for its music, And it has more than twenty preset options in it, ranging from the basic bass and treble boost to settings for dance, hip hop, and Jazz. There is a truckload of options out there, and most of them work just fine. There are a few catches, though. The equalizer works just on Apple Music – it will not work with songs from Google Music, Spotify or any other service. That’s not all. You are pretty much stuck with Apple’s version of different preset options – so you cannot change Apple’s version of Bass or Treble Boost. What you see in that list is exactly what you get – nothing more, nothing less. On the flip side, Apple’s presets are very carefully tuned and we found that they considerably enhanced the listening experience. Of course, those wanting more control can try some of the apps on the iTunes App Store (such as Equaliser Pro+ and Boom: Bass Boster), but that is another story (yes, we will write that one as well).
