iPhone 12 Pro Lock Sound Issue

I just got my iPhone 12 Pro and found a very annoying issue with the lock sound and sometimes the keyboard typing sound.

The lock sound goes weird when it has been idle for a few seconds. If I start playing something, the lock sound of iPhone 12 Pro will stay normal for another few seconds.

Please see the video I took:

It happens after rebooting the device and happens all the time for me.

Is it only me or something wrong with the system?

Thanks

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

the same here. 12 Pro. But i've discovered one thing. if you do hard reset (volume up, volume down and hold power button until you see apple logo) that fix the problem.


The problem happened everytime i connect magsafe charger or the silicon case magsafe in iPhone. If i use thunderbird cable no problem. if i reboot the iPhone no problem. only when attach the magsafe (something) the problem come back.

so maybe it's the sound of magsafe create a bug.

You know, you can disable the lock sound in the meantime and still use the phone normally... why are you whining


this thread is for people looking for updates on the issue.

Still no fix after an update/beta? Ok, continue disabling the lock sound setting and use your phone

fix as come through? great, end of this thread and continue using your phone

Hi,

i‘m not sure if that‘s really a software issue. It sounds more like a hardware problem to me. Maybe it has to do with the case covering up the speakers or something like that. I have the same problem too sometimes. I recently switched from an iPhone XS to an iPhone 12 Pro and the problem still occurs. So it’s definitely not a recent iOS problem because i got the problem on early iOS versions too.

Unfortunately, some of us are experiencing the same issue in messages notifications and other notifications as well. Although it is annoying to some, it is very difficult to have to keep looking at your phone to see if you have any text messages, emails or other notifications. Since I don’t use MagSafe save and never have it is obviously their software issue. They need to fix this since it renders messages especially, almost useless unless you are staring at the phone constantly.

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
