Damn, I forgot about that. I live in Turkey which is not in the EU though, I wonder if the Apple Store here sells the one with the volume limit?
That's easy to check out. Get to an Apple Store and then check an iPhone 6 Music menu -> Volume Limit.
If it appears a toggle to de-activate EU volume limit then it is capped. By that switching that toggle you just override the 85db limit (EU first limit) but you can not override the 100db limit (2nd EU Limit & not user removable). Both are calculated with bundled headphones (so iPads are not capped).
In addition to less output voltage you are given the screen that auto turns on when you go past 50% of volume to show you yellow/red volume squares.
IMHO all utter crap by the EU that does not seem to know that there are many headphones and recordings out there that need output power.
Hence i will not trade my american iPhone 5s 64Gb for an european iPhone 6 in any case. My quest for an american one is about to begin...
