Apple volume turned down when using headphones

For years I’ve bought Apple but in recent years, they’ve brought about new measures of control such as the volume issue, they’ve dipped their toes into politics with BLM via Apple Music... Something no for profit company should do. Fitness which to me looks a lot like black mirror. Seriously considering a purism phone and laptop soon. They’re impartial, don’t care about control and politics, YOU are the user and owner of your products.

As one post on this thread says... Someone reported the issue to Apple Support and I’m sure others have as this issue has existed for well over a year now. Another post (again on this thread) explains that the more people who complain about it on the user forum might just actually prompt Apple to do something about it. You clearly have no clue on the concept of why people are posting here and not contacting Apple directly. It’s not like Apple doesn’t read user forums anyways. This is as good as doing that.

While I completely agree with you, I’ve had many different android phones even the LG V30 with the quad DAC. All have lower maximum volumes than iPhones. Yes they don’t have the warning or turn your volume down without your permission but I guess both platforms go about different ways in complying with EU regulations. Not sure if this is an issue in the USA or not.

If the issue isn’t worked out in a few months I shall unsubscribe from Apple Music, sell my AirPods Pro’s and purchase a DAP from Fiio, buy some decent IEMs and subscribe to either Tidal or Spotify. Utterly ridiculous.

Yes! I have to turn the adjustments down so the phone calls don't blast my poor eardrums and yet they do! I expected much more from Apple and should've kept the G21. It's been nothing but a nightmare since Steve Jobs left and who the heck is doing the programming? Grifters?!

So frustrated every single day since I got this phone in May 2021👎👎👎👎👎

No one here can fix anything. No one here works for Apple on this user to user only forum. So asking for a fix to anything from fellow users gets you nothing.

Tell Apple your thoughts using this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Supposedly this is limited by region, but I'm in the U.S. and it is not selectable for me. I wish there was somewhere I could find what regions cannot decide on their own. I can't believe this is a law in the U.S. and only Apple is following it.

The most aggravating thing is, I'm an adult, I can make the choice of how loud I want my music to be. Also just because the volume level on the phone is up all the way, most speakers have a separate volume control. I often have the volume near its full capacity on my phone, but never to the full capacity on my cars head unit. This feature is completely lame. Maybe Apple should work on making applications such as the Dexcom6 constant glucose monitor app, work flawlessly, rather than worrying about controlling how loud people listen to their music.

Sorry that didn't help. There's nothing I can do to help you if that didn't work. You should provide feedback to Apple via this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

No option to turn it off. I’ll be into a song then they’ll turn it down. Big Brother if you ask me.

its nannying and dictating. I do feel rather strongly about this. What else will they do?

Not sure if it’s a bug or intentional. I use airplay from both iPhone and Mac to send music to speakers. That’s the only time it doesn’t do it.

Don’t know. This issue has existed for well over a year now. I think it’s Big Tech “looking after our well-being” and won’t slow down anytime soon.

Neither platforms are perfect. It seems in my experience that Android phones don’t have the warning but the volume doesn’t go high anyway unless you buy a DAC.

Control... as time goes on with every new iOS version, I’m willing to guarantee Apple will implement something to “protect us” But let’s face it... Not gonna stop the masses buying iPhones will it?
