    iPhones have 17 steps, or 16 blocks to get to full volume. I don’t know how exactly, but it doesn’t scale linearly as our ears hear volume logarithmically.

    So maybe it’s linear within DbA?

        after playing with a tone generator (phyphox) i’m not at all certain it’s a linear increase. I hear no sound until the fifth or sixth click but the difference in the last couple clicks is very noticeable.

          Isnt that a thing about decibal increases, like an increase in 1dB is literally double, something something logarathmic
