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

I already face this issue then iam go to apple service store they said this is hardware issue. In some iPhone 15 series this issue occur. I will submit my mobile yesterday wait for replacement


NOTE : this issue occur in ear speaker so they replace the ear speaker part only not replace a mobile. only defective part replacement. iam fully dissopointed by this cause. with in one month period of time my mobile get this issue. Why apple do this type of mistakes? this issue decreases the apple brand value.

I have tried everything, every settings i can think of to see why i cannot hear anything from the earspeaker during calls. Yes when i put music on and even listening to recordings i can hear the earspeaker is working. This is extremely annoying as when i am out i have to talk to people on loud speaker and everyone around are listening to my calls! What on earth is going on!

Hello! Thank you so much for this.

My earpiece speaker would make a buzzing/static noise every time an audio played. When I would call someone, I would have to put them on speaker because if it was through the earpiece, it was all static

I wasn’t actually expecting this to work but it is amazing! Won’t have to spend extra money trying to get it fixed now. Thank you for this!

Exactly the same issue. No damage. Happened after the update.


Took it into the Genius Bar who admitted there was a global fault with the displays that would've been replaced had I not missed out on the 2 years offer. I now have to go back to my network provider and argue with them.


I've been an Apple customer for over 30 years. Each year and product I purchase from them brings me severe dissatisfaction. Very deceitful way of operating.
