Iphone13 speakerphone still cutting on calls for the person I’m calling. Any sign of a fix yet? It’s the same old problem. When I make a call with my iphone13 on speakerphone my voice cuts in and out for the person I’m speaking to on the other side. Is there any fix yet, apart from the ridiculous “record a memo, record a camera…. It’s your fault’ scenario fix? I’m tired to spend all this money on products that are not ready for market. apple…. Is there a fix yet? If not can the customers who bought these defect devices please have some compensation or the offer of a new for old phone? A 12 would be better than this to be honest.

Calls failing on iPhone 13 when phone is removed from ear So, for the past month or so, I have been having this weird issue with my iPhone 13 where the call gets failed anytime I try to end the call by removing the phone from my ear and bringing it forward. As it happens too frequently, I tried to recreate this issue and found out that anytime phone is using the proximity sensor to turn the display ‘on’ from ‘off’ state, after being removed from the ear and face adjacent position to normal position, the call failed error pops up. This happens when I bring the phone forward for putting the call on speakerphone or even when I try to add a call or do anything that requires the proximity wake up functionality. I’m on iOS 18.3 currently but having this issue since iOS 18.1 [Re-Titled by Moderator]

The Proximity Sensor is the Culprit:

The proximity sensor, which is designed to turn off the screen and disable touch inputs during a call, might not be functioning correctly or might be activated too late. As for turning off, that is just not a feature.
