iPhone ear speaker not working after update

The earpiece speaker on my IPhone 13 Pro stopped working after I recently updated my phone to the new IOS 16.0.02. There have been not settings changes, no physical damage and YES, I’ve already tried every single ‘fixing sound issues’ article on Apple Support along with YouTube. None of those things worked.


I noticed several other forums and commenters who faced the same problem.


Has anyone found a solution to this yet? Apple seems to be ignoring or avoiding the issue entirely

Yes that’s exactly what Apple does. They did it to the batteries last time killing then. I just paid mine off and now all of a sudden for no reason the speaker stopped. I have no doubt it’s Apple and their games. They don’t want you to keep a phone long. They would go out of business. This is the last iPhone I’ll ever have. I’m don’t. Samsung it is for now in.

I've been facing issues with my iPhone's ear speakerphone ever since updating to iOS 17. Even after consulting with an Apple support representative, it appears that a sensor related to the speaker is malfunctioning. The puzzling part is that my phone never experienced any physical damage, and the speaker was functioning perfectly fine prior to the update.

I considered taking it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (iCare), but they're requesting a substantial fee just for evaluating the issue, and repairing it would incur additional costs. I must admit, I'm feeling quite frustrated at the moment.

If anyone has encountered a similar problem and has found a solution, please share it here. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
