Iphone 13 Lock and notification sound low

this issue persists since last years iphone 12 lineup… kb tap sound getting louder when typing, the lock sound is so low I can barely hear it, notification sounds are also low…


I tried multiple iphone 13 pro and mini at a booth, all of them show the same issue…


can somebody confirm?


And why is apple still not addressing this problem? need to upgrade my phone soon, but I am not motivated when I can see those problems

iPhone 12

I had the same problem with my 13 pro which ibought 2 day ago, my 12 yo daughter found the cure for the low volume with these sounds.

Go and check : settings, accessibility, face ID & Attention , disable the "attention-aware features" it will sound loud all the time if you have the rest of the sound settings on max.

This stupid feature is on by default letting the phone feel if you are holding it in your hand or something,

The funny thing is i was on chat with one of the Apple service guys baout this, he did not know , he just send me back to the place where i bought it, hahaaaa !

Getting iPhone 14 Pro Max soon, I fully expect the problems to exist on that phone just the same. Someone at Apple has authorised the volume for notifications to be lowered, why is the big question, even Watch 8 suffers from the same problem with no apparent solution, ring volume is ok but notifications and Siri exercise notifications are pathetically low compared to Watch 7.


Apple if you are listening, get it sorted please, all we want is to raise the notification volume more please!

I recently upgraded to a an iPhone 13Pro from an 1Pro and noticed the exact same issues i.e. Lock sound being ridiculously low and keyboard click sound increasing as I type more.

I was in fact worried sick that I had gotten a bad piece but having found all these comments, I know there are several others dealing with the same issue.

if this is indeed a software fix, I really can’t understand Apple’s reluctance to fix it?!!

It's always a crapshoot w/this company. Never ceases to amaze me.


The weather app changed too, it's 2 step process change from F to C, stupid idea. It was fine right at the bottom. Then they put a search bar at the top, another dumb idea. Now I see less weather of the cities I have listed. They always change STUPID little things.


Do they ever think to put a JUNK/SPAM email button to block certain addresses in the Mail app...No. You have to open the contacts section to block.

I can't figure them out.


Yet they make it easier to search for cities for the stupid weather.

Since purchasing the iPhone 13 Pro Max, I can't hear any notifications and I miss calls all the time. I always thought it was because I put the phone on silent at times, but started noticing this the last few days when I had all the volumes up and ringers on. We need a fix to this asap. This fix should be expedited, especially for a device that costs $1k+.
