iPhone jumping to max volume

For whatever reason every other time I adjust my volume then lock my phone it automatically jumps to the max volume. I am wearing my AirPods every time it happens so it could be that they are glitching but this issue only started after getting the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Fix THIS! This is absurd and ruins my mood every time. Random blasts of audio and me frantically trying to reduce the volume is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Do I need more caps?! Pretty please?.

This has happened to me since Nov 2020 when I got my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I turn up the volume with the side button, then lock the phone, and the volume jumps to max. Similarly, the volume down button makes it jump to zero. It’s on the latest iOS and no fixes for it yet. It probably happens only 5-10% of the time, which is about once per day, but it’s hard to pinpoint the issue. Luckily, I’m not wearing headphones.

I am using iPhone 8Plus IOS 14.4. I have automatic updates on.

I am using Bose QC35 II

This is a relalitvely new problem.

If I turn the headphones of or if the connection is lost and turned on again the volume has gone to 100%. Can be very uncomfortable and probably even unhealthy for the hearing. First time I almost soiled my pants...
