iPhone 12 Pro speaker audio issues

Well, or I had to go without a phone for 3-5 days. Also, they were going to send me an open box or "Like new" product unless I did the express replacement. There was no option for standard shipping on the replacement or anything.

So it was pay $30, or send my phone in for repair and not have it for 3-5 days.

yes 12 pro audio sounds like a person talking from a closed box/drum and with that echo we feeling a huge vibration in hands. Spoke to customer support they raised an issue for their engineers, will wait and see. It’s very frustrating

I just bought my iPhone 11/14/2020 and the following day I noticed the audio coming out the ear piece by the front camera sounds reverbish and tinitish. I was told it’s probably because of the aluminum housing. But my iPhone 8 sounds way better than the iPhone 12. Apple needs to fix this I paid to much money to be unhappy with it

Still no fix for me. I think I should just call support and see if I can just get a new phone. I haven’t had this phone for a week yet and the sound is annoying me so much I shouldn’t be going through this after paying $900

My 12 Pro Max did the same thing right out of the box, echoing from the keyboard, distortion from the speaker trying to play music, then not being able to control the volume of the music or sound from the settings audio controls, but sometimes it will work fine, the audio is not near as loud as on my 11 Pro Max so it’s definitely an issue with the phone

I also have the same Audio issue with iPhone 12 pro. The issue first appeared after using the phobe for about one week. Then every other day the issue re-appears. I had to reboot to get rid of the issue temporarily. Please let me know when there will be a fix. Is this a hw or sw issue?

Same thing. I had bought an iPad Air on the day it had launched and realized the same thing with it too.I returned the device and then found online that this issue has been persistent since a long long time in many other Apple devices. Today I bought an apple iPhone 12 mini and it has the same issue. I am pretty sure it is a software issue. Until now I was using an iPhone 6 and it works flawlessly.

I have tried reaching out to Apple customer service a couple of times and I have also posted in the bugs section regarding the same but I haven’t found any solutions yet. Hope they fix it sometime soon.

On my end, i received a phone call (with my new iPhone 12 mini) when my phone was on my ear and the ringing (Signal) was at maximum. I ended-up getting instantly serious ear damage as the ringing was sooo loud I dropped my phone on the floor and started earing permanent buzzing (Tinnitus) in my ear. It's been 3 days now and buzzing is still there. Ear speaker is WAY too loud and I never experience such a painful event with previous iPhone (1, 4, 5S, 8). I don't see any reason why the ring should be driven by anything else then the bottom speaker. Went to an Audiologist and they noticed a 25db loss in left ear.

Something I’ve just noticed, remove the magsafe case and put it back on and try to lock your device it’s gonna do high pitched sound until you reboot it so something is goin on.

Static sound here also, heard it while deleting text in the message apps and also when using xbox streaming feature of the Xbox app. No issues while streaming music from Apple Music.

I'm pretty sure it is software, given that I see it on the Mac when running the iPhone simulator...

Played a bit with the system sound settings check this out:
