Improvements include better picture quality, auto image stabilisation and Panorama mode. Most of this is done when people are on the move using headphones so Apple hasn't focused too much on improving speakers. We'd love to see Apple move the speakers to the front and place them on the top and bottom for those times when you're watching something at home.
