iPhone 12 Pro Max Issues

Hello, I have been using iPhone 12 Pro Max for a week, and noticed few things.

  1. Volume. I connected my phone to my car and played music. I noticed the volume level is much less than when I connected my XR to the car. I need to turn up the volume much higher somehow on iPhone 12 Pro Max.
  2. I noticed my screen a bit flickering sometimes. I think it happened when it was displaying a page with certain background color.
  3. I also noticed that the phone was very hot when it was idle. It happened in the first couple of days. Hence, the battery drained very fast.

Do you also notice or experience these things on your IPhone 12 Pro Max?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

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.

It’s a temporary hold until they receive the defective item but the man said things get lost in the mail sometimes so that’s my biggest issue. That and having to fork out another 1,300 for another phone it wasn’t damaged at all I have messages to prove it too. No water damage nothing like that it’s some type of glitch they said because the phone is great just can’t hear ppl unless it’s on speaker

So to answer your statement no I never dropped it never got it wet it came like that which they assured me some ppl had the same issue. Unfortunately I had to put down 1,300 on temporary hold to get a new one while waiting for them to receive the defective one. Yes I have apple care. That’s just how things are I’m not complaining just saying it sucks being that I wasn’t expecting this to happen to my brand new phone but hey it happens

Hello ! This is my first week with the iPhone 12 pro max. I’m issue are,

the volume is really low when I’m speaking. Flickering screen. And worst of all the audio sucks. There is alway and echo of my self through conversation. Music comes out poorly.(REVERBERATE) Nothing like my 10 xs Max speaker. I know it’s early. But the disappointment takes away my excitement for my new iPhone. I will be returning this new phone I really hope these issues are fix soon.

#3 happens to me. I checked every setting possible and randomly the area next to the camera gets super hot. I am really frustrated that with a premium phone like 12 pro max users are experiencing this?


of course you can replace it, send it back for repair but these are options that during a pandemic and a need for technology doesn’t make sense. Not to mention when they send you a replacement phone you KNOW it’s not going to be brand new like when you bought your original phone. They will claim it is but it never will be. Apple service is going way downhill. I’m a very disappointed loyal customer
