iPhone 12 Pro Max Poor Speaker Volume

Hello. Me and my partner have just upgraded our 11 pro maxes to the 12 pro maxes. Quite like them, not had many issues as of yet but one issue that is bugging me is the volume of the speakers on the phone itself. Although we have both configured the settings and checked the phone is on full volume both 12’s seem more quiet than our iPhone 11 Pro maxes. Does anyone know why this could be? Quite disappointing, especially for a user like me that uses my speakers on my phone all the time for music and video etc.. Thanks in advance!

One thing to try is to turn your Bluetooth off. I had this same issue and noticed that I was still connected to my Echo Show device via Bluetooth and I was upstairs... so all of my sounds were coming through the Echo downstairs and I couldn’t hear them. I switched Bluetooth off and all of my sounds and notifications play at the right volumes.

Maybe your connected to a Bluetooth device. I noticed that my Powerbeats pro, while in the box an nobody touched them, sometimes randomly connect with my iPhone 12 Pro Max, than disconnect and again and again and again. I wonder if this is the reason why they are empty when I want too use them for a zoom call. So anoying. One Job!!!! Maybe this is a Bluetooth bug or something? It would explain allot of problems but not the poor speaker volume.

My hearing is not great, but I could easily hear my phone 6. Infact it it blasted and I never missed a call. I bought a new 12 and now everyone is ****** at me because I do not hear the phone signal. What is going on? I humped out over 800 dollars for a phone that might become useless for me because they is not enough power the the speaker. That is not nice on apples part.
