    It not and issue its just what the new iphone 6s is and im f'ing ******! An expensive phone that doesn't get loud enough, its complete garbage! I use the phone almost exclusively for music at the gym and im constantly pushing the volume button only to find its all the way up!!!! SOOOOO, I spent 2 hours at the apple store in Santa Monica California yesterday about this issue! Every employee seems to be oblivious to this and the phone passed the tests they ran!  VERY, VERY ANNOYING!!!!!

    I have noticed this issue too with my iPhone 6S plus, though only since the update from 9.0.1 to 9.0.2. The volume was fine for me around 50% and plenty loud enough. Now I have to push it to around 90% to get the same volume level.

    BermudaBarracuda I have the same issue with my iphone 6s plus. The music volume is really very low that I can't use on a plane.I  don't know how was with ios 9.0.1 because it was updated as it was switched on the first time.  It very frustrating because i choos iPhone with its music quality. I have an ipad mini 2 with ios 9.0.2 and the volume is very loud, as usual.

     

    Do you think that with ios 9.0.1 the music volume was much more louder?

     

    Thanks

    Yes, it was as loud as usual with 9.0.0 and 9.0.1, but something Apple did with 9.0.2 changed that.

    Same here, but mine was terrible before the updates, music volume too low even on highest setting.

     

    does change however when i get a notification but then reverts back to low volume when song changes.

     

    this is really frustrating why can't apple get this sorted asap.

    I'm scouring the forums now for a solution to this. I work remote and am constantly on conference calls... my speakerphone is NO WHERE near loud enough. I had a 6 plus and it seemed fine - not nearly as good as my 5s but good enough for government work. Now my 6s Plus 128gb ***** donkey nuts... I can barely hear my calls and have to put headphones on which don't even seem to be as loud as my 5s. I know I'm getting old but I'm not THAT old.

     

    Please Apple, take a look at these issues and hook some brutha's and sista's up!

     

    Thx!

    I recently acquired my iPhone 6s plus and I was having the same issues.  I tested the volume of my music with my old Macbook Pro (circa 2009) and a 3rd generation ipod, which turned out to be way louder than my iphone 6s plus.  After tinkering around in the settings, I found a solution that increases the volume.  Navigate to Settings > Music > EQ and make sure nothing is selected.  By default the EQ setting is preset, at least on it was on my device.  Also, make sure sound check and volume limit is off.

    Glad you found a setting that gives you some volume back.

     

    Unfortunately, it does not work for me, as I already have the EQ set to off, with neither sound check or volume limit enabled.

    THe only way i've found is to boost the volume on each songs byinformation setting. But it is not a solution....and it make the sound distorted

    My only personal workaround at the moment is to use my iPod classic when I want to listen to music with headphones, and not have to worry about the nonsense of setting the volume control into the 90-100% range to get a 'normal' volume on the iPhone.

     

    I am avoiding using my iPhone 6S Plus for music with headphones for the time being until Apple restores the feature back to normal in a future patch of IOS 9.

    I Got the iphone to have phone and music in one device with good apple quality.

    i Don't want to spend 1100 euro and have two devices in my pocket! I am really frustrated

    I Have an appointment with the 'genius' at the apple store next monday let's see what they say.
