I have the iPhone SE. I updated my phone three days ago and the next morning when I woke up my phone wasn’t working right. People couldn’t hear me and when I hang up I wouldn’t be able to make calls for about a minute. I went to the Apple store, they ran a bunch of diagnostic test and at the end they said the front microphone was failing. Told me to go get a new phone, I did was at the AT&T store for six hours yesterday, because they were having problems with the update. Finally got home and this morning I wake up with my new phone and it’s not hearing me. I keep saying hey Siri and it doesn’t hear anything. I change the settings to always listen, but it doesn’t work. I got a new phone for nothing. The 17 update is too much for these SE phones I believe, what a nightmare. So now I guess I’m gonna have to make another appointment at the Apple iStore that’s an hour away and ask them to please roll back the update, which is what I asked for the first time. It is definitely the update.

I'm having this same issue. For me it's not just the speakerphone. No one can hear me using the headset, speakerphone, or even bluetooth connection. The only way anyone can hear me is if I make a continuity call from my phone on my mac. I even had my phone replaced recently thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't. Definitely a software issue.

My iPhone 13 Pro Max had the same issue when on phone calls through Apple AirPod Pro, speaker, or iPhone. Turning iPhone off and on again did not help. I found that when I muted then unmuted the phone while on a call, the problem went away. I am not certain why that worked, but it failed to work on 10 calls over 2 days and has worked on all 4 calls since the mute/unmute. Good luck to all, as this was an extremely frustrating bug.

After upgrade to 17.0.3 [iPhone 14], when on speaker my mic stops working on phone calls No problem if on my Air Pod Pro [v2]. If I turn the speaker off/on, the caller hears me for a moment and then dead mic again.

Seems to be software problem with my phone, not any callers - one caller has iphone 13 on iOS 17.0.3 and another has iphone 14 Pro on iOS 16.something & both experience my mic cutting out on our calls.
