iPhone Air call volume too low even at maximum

Hello. I’m experiencing a persistent issue with my iPhone Air: the call volume is extremely low. I can barely hear the other person even with volume at maximum, and any background noise on their end makes conversations almost impossible.


I also found multiple reports online suggesting the iPhone Air’s speaker may be quieter than expected—for example, this video: https://youtu.be/L1BWoNIyfGI?si=GmkfjcP7e6xX1PZO


Could you please advise whether this is a known issue and arrange an inspection or replacement? I can’t continue using the phone like this.

So, the solution was simpler than I thought. The screen cover I had installed at the shop was covering the speaker. I removed it, and that fixed the “problem,” lol. Thanks everyone for your attention to my problem!

If you are within 14 days from purchase, you can return it for a refund.


Otherwise, I recommend service.

On normal next to the ear listening did you increase the volume during the call? if so without effect then it could be a fault and the warranty is not limited to the 14 day return period
