iPhone 12 Pro Max Issues

I noticed the volume issue too, but none of the others. Volume fix was simple for me. Apple introduced a new feature that is automatically enabled to reduce loud sounds from damaging your hearing long term.

You can disable this by going to:

Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety.

Then simply toggle off Reduce Loud Sounds.

Hope it works for you.

Hard to really say but the volume thing could be as simple as your volume on your device is turned down low making it where you need to turn the volume up I’m the car. The flickering may be a real issue but you would need to have it looked at to be sure. The phone getting hot the first few days could be due to the indexing and things working in the background after restoring an old backup. That can happen for a few days. But if these issues persist or you’re concerned I would definitely have Apple look at it or do an exchange since you’re still in the return/exchange period. I personally haven’t had any of these issues so far

Yes I have had my phone two days. Apple was unable to help over the phone. Suggested returning. I scheduled a consult at BB where I purchased it for tomorrow. In the meantime I have spent sometime online. Found a uTube video and went through the steps. I found in the last step to look for updates. The update on my phone mentions a fix for low volume. Obviously this is an issue with this phone. My standard rule is not to buy a new product until bugs are worked out. On this item I waited for this model and snapped it up as soon as it came out. Not a great idea. But try the update. My phone is updating as i write this. good luck

It does.

Also, if you go to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store they can generally help you at the time of your appointment or, if they don't have one of your model phone in stock, let you know when to come in to swap yours out.

You only have to provide a card for a hold because they are cross-shipping the replacement.

mine did the same thing i had to return it & get a whole new one , i’ll post a video what it does if it lets me .

That's obviously not normal; contact Apple Support directly and they can help you further.

I bought mine from Best Buy and they brought out a new phone when I exchanged it.

If your battery is draining fast that means that there is often something running in the background every time there is background activity your battery will drain fast I suggest turning off background apps and also going throughevery appindividuallyandturningoffany that you don’t immediately used or use often

Contact Apple Support directly; they will be able to work with you on your issue.

1. 12 max pro Speaker phone always “I can’t hear you” from callers or people I call.
2. music is low in aux or Bluetooth
3. this is totally ruining my iPhone experience, not to mention the cost of this 512 storage

I upgraded to iphone max 12 pro through my telco and what a disappointment sadly - I was so excited! The issues:

1) the sound quality - there is a static - permanently on nearly every call that actually connects

2) when I pull up a contact and press "call" it does not work - no connection, no noise. I press "speaker" and it just switches off. I need to restart the phone to be able to make calls.

3) Its HOT - burning hot. More so around the camera, but in my case, the entire phone - I cant rest it on my leg (let alone hold it)

4) I cant verify my credit card for apply pay - it has imported via my previous phone and when I got to wallet and payments section, it says to verify with my bank verification code - but there is no code, and there is no explanation of how to get a code?

This horrid phone upgrade has turned my relatively efficient life into a complete mess in just one upgrade! If I can change the phone as this is a lemon, I think I will heed advice of others and go for the iphone 11.
