Low and distorted speaker sound on iPhone 17 Pro
Subject: Low and distorted speaker sound on iPhone 17 Pro
Message:
Hello,
I recently purchased an iPhone 17 Pro and I’ve noticed a consistent problem with the speaker sound.
Even when the volume is set to maximum, the overall loudness is noticeably lower than on my previous iPhone 14 Pro.
In addition, at higher volume levels, the sound sometimes becomes slightly distorted or “crackly,” especially when listening to YouTube videos or WhatsApp voice messages.
I have already tried all the suggested troubleshooting steps (cleaning the speakers, checking balance, disabling Bluetooth, resetting sound settings, restarting, and updating iOS), but the issue remains the same.
From what I’ve seen on Apple Support Communities and forums, many other users of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have reported the same behavior, so it seems to be a widespread issue.
Could you please confirm whether Apple is aware of this and if a software update is planned to fix it?
Thank you very much for your attention and support.
Best regards,
Martin
