Speaker volume on iPhone 13 pro

My volume for my new iPhone 13 pro is horrible through the speakers and I can barely hear anything including button clicks like when I am typing this out. It’s very sad that such an expensive device has such crappy sound and apparently this has been going on for awhile with other models of the phone.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hey so this happened to me as well and I was very upset because I wanted to really blast music on my speakers. 

Well, I was looking into it and decided to check every sound setting in my iPhone. Turns out that the new iOS has a feature called “Headphone Safety” which somehow makes speakers lower their volume. 

This is, in my opinion to reduce sound damage to your ears. 

  • Go to “settings” then “Sound & Haptics” then “Headphone Safety” and where it says “Reduce loud Sounds” turn it “Off” or just adjust to your like. 

If this is not the problem for you then it might actually be a software problem but this fixed it for me.

I just purchased my iPhone 13 pro max a couple of days ago and I’m also having a problem with phone cal volume and key tap sounds. Sometimes it’s working okay and sometimes I can’t hear the key taps at all and the phone call volume is to low and I keep hitting the volume up but with no response. Tech support wasn’t able to help resolve it and recommended return or exchange it.

I have the same problem. I am new to iPhones having moved from a Sony Xperia 1 so when I bought a brand new iPhone I decided I would buy the most expensive one they make. The iPhone Pro 13 Max with a large amount of storage, I also took out a 2 year insurance on the iPhone and 2 years of Apple support. I will say that I am quite impressed at how Apple have the ability to take over your phone remotely.

I asked how do I make my iPhone default to speaker phone ? as a disability question.

I have Multiple Sclerosis but no problems with my hearing.

Personally it I don't think hard enough about Accessibility & Disability because I find I have to scrabble about turning the speaker on. Apple support acknowledged that It might be something Apple consider in there one of their software updates.
