iPhone 16 Pro Speaker Sound Quality Issue Compared to iPhone 15 Pro

Hi everyone,




I recently upgraded from the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 16 Pro, and I have noticed a clear difference in speaker sound quality. The 16 Pro seems to have less bass and sounds weaker overall compared to the 15 Pro. I mostly rely on the built-in speakers for media, and this change has been quite disappointing.




I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this issue. Is this a hardware difference, or could it be something that Apple might fix in a future update? I have checked my settings and tested different audio sources, but the difference is still noticeable.




Would appreciate any insights or advice. Thanks!

Expressing your crackly feel or conveying auditory experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.

I appreciate the suggestion, but my goal here is to see if other users have experienced the same issue and if there are any insights from the community. Im not looking for a generic support response. I want to know if this is a widespread issue or just my device. If anyone else has noticed a difference in sound quality on the iPhone 16 Pro compared to previous models, please share your thought!
