Inconsistent audio volume during recitation videos on iPhone 16 Pro Max

Since I got my iPhone 16 Pro Max, I’ve been experiencing a consistent volume issue when playing recitation videos on apps like YouTube, Instagram, and even downloaded videos in the Photos app. The problem is that the audio volume fluctuates, often being much lower than expected. The volume can also become inconsistent, even though the volume settings are high. This issue is specific to recitation videos and does not affect other sounds such as notifications or music.

I’ve tried adjusting the settings, resetting my phone, and ensuring that the apps have the correct permissions, but the problem persists. I’ve found that other iPhone 16 Pro Max users have reported similar issues with audio during recitation videos, suggesting it may be a common problem with this model.

This updated version more accurately captures your experience since you’ve had the issue from the beginning, not just after an update.
