iPhone 12 Pro Lock Sound Issue

I’ve never used MagSafe accessories and I have had the problem. Apple sent me a new phone and that phone still had the same problem. Keyboard sounds gradually get louder too. I factory reset, reset all settings, reinstalled iOS keeping the data, restored from backup. Nothing works, not on 2 iPhone 12 Pro’s. It’s not a MagSafe issue, it’s an iOS issue. Your case doesn’t matter either.

If this was the case, I would never have this issue, but I do. So it’s not a MagSafe feature and if it is, it doesn’t work properly. That literally makes no sense. Those employees didn’t want you in the store.

I’ve never used MagSafe, still have the issue. When I type the keyboard clicks gradually get louder. Then the lock sound is normal for a few seconds

I received my iPhone Mini MagSafe leather case today, and the first thing what I noticed was this weird lock sound. I took it off again and the sound is still strange. Rebooting the phone solved the issue temporarily, but when I put the case back on the phone, same issue again.

This is a really annoying bug. I hope that the next iOS version will fix this. This case is really expensive, such a simple bug should not happen...

I have the same issue with my 12 pro and hasn’t been solved after I upgraded to IOS 14.2. Lock sound is different (same as the video that xia91928 shared). Also another issue is that when I switch to silent mode from the side switch, it does not go to silent mode as I can hear keyboard sounds and notification sounds. It does this quite often.

Wonder if the magnets in the tiny speakers are affected by the MagSafe magnet? That’d be a big oversight if so. Still doesn’t explain a few things (like why other audio isn’t affected) but makes me think this might be more of a hardware issue than software.

updating to 14.2.1 did not fix the issue at all. I am still having notification issues of all kinds, including keyboard and lock screen.

I have also found that the sound issues are not limited to the keyboard and to the lock screen. It also happens in any of the system sounds including text messaging notifications and mail notifications. I have found that if I go in to the settings and change the sounds to something different the volume will return to a normal sound volume. But only until my phone goes to sleep. After that the sound issue returns almost immediately.

however when I go to play audio such as through the music app, the volume is strong and stays that way. So it is obviously a software issue.

This has nothing to do with MagSafe. I know some of you are using it. But I've never used MagSafe and it's an issue. So this is just a flat out issue that doesn't pertain to any one situation. MagSafe or not, it is annoying and happens.

I Also have Never used MagSafe.... I still have these issues with lock, keyboard and with mail and messages notifications sounds. I have to keep checking my phone for txt messages and mails.

ALSO, since 14.2.1 I am having the same issue with my Apple Watch 6: No notifications sounds on texting or emails.

This is an overall software issue, and all devices are up to date.

This has been driving me nuts. At least I know why it’s happening. I wish Apple would fix it.

For what it’s worth, I’ve confirmed it’s related to MagSafe. I removed my MagSafe case and powered the phone off and back on. The lock sound was normal when I tested about 5 times. Put my Apple Leather MagSafe case back on and the lock sound started making a “clack” noise again. This is with iOS 12.4.1.

I contacted Apple Support and the level one guy said he found an internal issue document stating this is known problem with a work around to remove the case. I’m assuming that means Apple will fix this eventually.

Is anyone using the iOS 14.3 beta and could test this?

Case or no case it does not matter. I have had 2 different 12 Pros that do the same thing. Case, MagSafe....IT DOESN’T MATTER. There is also no workaround. You can hard rest all you want. It will come back. Reset, comes back, don’t ever use a MagSafe, still have the issue. My case isn’t a MagSafe case and it still does it. Again I've never used ANY MagSafe product and it happens. The moment I started up the phone out of the box it was an issue and I hadn’t even used a case yet.

ah, this is bizarre. in my experience the problem is only magsafe. Everytime i'll put iphone in magsafe cover or use magsave charger the problem come back. with hard reset the problem is fixed. or if i'll shutdown the iphone with volume up, volume down and press turn on button, swipe for turn off iphone.

only with magsafe things. without no problem.
