Echo on speaker calls iphone 11

I just completed the most recent update earlier today and it seems the quality of voice calls to other iPhone 11 pros is worse. I do not have this issue when FaceTiming and calling iPhones that are not 11 pros.

As I’m reading this it tells me that there is a flaw within Apple’s system during manufacturing.

I just making sure I understand. I’m paying for a phone monthly. You turn in your old phone to “UPGRADE” and you get a phone that feel, sounds and looks like iPhone 4. Not acceptable to me. Apple has a problem that’s known about internally since after creation but yet still selling bad products, I just bought this phone 3weeks ago. Honestly I don’t have the time or skill to try and be a technician on phone. I’ve been trying to fix since I got it. I Can’t use FaceTime

because I can’t talk without echo listen because I’m playing kitchen technician with volume buttons so I can here my 2 yr old grand daughter say something.

Going to store to continually get the same diagnostic test is a joke.

From a very Faithul IPhone user I’m hurt 😞. I had great expectations, but I’m let down. Since I walked out of store like a little kid with a new toy, I’ve tried to return and get my iPhone 8plus back. I can’t even return this horrible over priced toy. To say I’m disappointed is not quite enough. Since I see so many others people having same problems. You guys should have had a recall to fix problem.

Aren’t your loyal customers worth it ?

😒

Have the same exact issue on my 11 max pro, took it to apple and they said it’s a problem with my service provider , had the same exact service provider and live in the same location a few months ago and I phone c had no problem at all, it’s sad that I dyed of owning up to this problem with the phone, the people at the Genius Bar trick you and convince you to believe that it’s a problem at my end ! Didn’t expect this from apple !!

Anybody get the fix to the 11 pro max echo issue? Mine seems to echo on FaceTime, on speaker, and with my AirPods.. this phone costs entirely too much for this to be happening and it’s really aggravating 🙄 Apple please help!!

I have the same echo problem. It doesn’t matter if I have my case on the phone or off the phone, it still echos. When my Daughter FaceTimes me is when it echos so bad I have to get off the phone. iPhones seen to be notorious for this problem. I’ve always had an iPhone and this has been a Huge problem. But the iPhone 11 is the worst With the echo problem. I will be bringing this iPhone back to Apple to be fixed or replaced.

Then you have a very strange situation as iOS 13.3.1 fixed the echo issue for everyone without defective hardware.

I regularly use my 11 Pro Max in speakerphone mode, and since iOS 13.3.1 I haven’t had a single complaint.

I am also getting problem while talking on speaker the next person hears his voice which is said by him I have never got such kind of problem before I am using 11pro now and before I was using 7 so please tell me the solution as iam not using any kind of case n headphones then also iam getting this problem so make it clear or replace the defective piece please

I too have the iOS 13.3.3 and person on other end has terrible feedback. Very irritating when have to use ear as can hear much better with speaker (but people on other end can’t) This has to be fixed somehow... Apple must

know this is a problem as there are a lot of complaints from unhappy owners!

Unfortunately for several of us the echo is still an issue even after the update. The iPhones have been taken in. Some of us have received new phones and taken them in too. To be told they are fine. Finally gave up.

I certainly can't explain that as it has certainly fixed the issue for the vast majority of people.

I spend a lot of time on my 11 Pro Max's speaker phone these days and haven't had a single complaint.

I have a case that has cut outs for the bottom speaker area and mine still echos when using speakerphone. VERY annoying and feel it's definitely a hardware issue. Has anyone received a new phone because of this? What, if any, fix is there? For the price we are paying for these phones, they should function at primo capability!

If it were a hardware issue a replacement phone would fix it.

The way it is iOS 13.3.1 fixed this issue for almost everyone.

Is your phone on a hard surface when this occurs? Sometimes if your phone is on something like a counter, echo off the surface can occur.

Define "almost everyone," please - sorry, but that's not been my experience. Several clients and friends (we run a development firm) I've tried to converse with who own iPhone 11 Pro, I hear my side of the conversation booming back at me. Its extremely disconcerting, enough to be forced off the call.

It happens if the phone is sitting on a surface, if it is nestled inside one of several (Apple) cases, and if the person is holding the phone in a "normal" fashion, (presumably with the base of the phone in proximity to the palm of the hand). The only solution I've been able to recommend is turning the phone upside down, speakers pointed to the sky, and converse as if the phone were a microphone. Or, wearing plugged in earphones the problem disappears.

I would call that a major hardware design flaw in a $1,000.00 mobile device, and until I learn that Apple has fixed it, my upgrade plans (from iPhone 8) are on hold.

How is this still an issue. I have an iPhone 11 Pro, my daughter, wife, and mother have iPhone 11's and we all have this issue. It is unusable on speaker phone calls. It also happens to any coworkers and friends that have an iPhone 11. It is software, and is effecting everyone I know.

Using FaceTime audio does fix it, but that uses data, and does not help with android users.

OK, I’ll put it another way:

When I called my iPhone 11 Pro Max from my landline and put my iPhone 11 Pro Max into speakerphone mode, in iOS 13.3, there was horrible echo, it was unusable.

Since iOS 13.3.1 was released, there has been none, it works as it has on all previous iPhones. No echo whatsoever in my landline earpiece when talking.

This has also been the experience of most of the others on this thread who used to have this issue.

If it were a hardware defect, no one’s phone would work in speakerphone mode, but most do.
