iPhone 4s left speaker not working!

I have a half year old iPhone 4s and the left speaker is rather dead. Noticed earlier today while using iMovie that there was no sound coming out of it, and now after half an hour of testing I am rather sure that the speaker is dead. No sound at all comes out of it. The right side on works, but the left one is dead.


Is there anything I should still test doing (apart from just covering over one speaker at a time with a finger and seeing if the other one has sound), or should I straigt away tomorrow go to the store where I bought it and see what they say about it? Will they repair it for me? Its half a year old, so it should still have warranty left, yes? In EU region in case that affects anythig.


Thanks for any help!

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

No, it is not a problem. The iPhone 4S has one speaker, one microphone.

The iPhone 4 has one speaker, one microphone

The iPhone 3GS has one speaker, one microphone.

The iPhone 3G has one speaker, one microphone.


If your 3GS has 2 speakers you should really store it in a safety deposit box, because it is the ONLY one in the world and it will be worth millions of $$$$$$$.

Ok, maybe is my poor english...


I trust in you when your saying that all iPhones has one speaker - no doubt, no question.


What I'm telling you is with 3GS I hear a clear and good quality sound at the bottom from both sides and with the 4S this doesn't happen - I only hear from one side.


If you close, for example, with your finger, the right side at the bottom of your phone, can your anything from the other side?

You really d ouch ed up this thread, stedman1. I have the exact same issues & circumstances regarding my iPhone 4 vs 3GS. It's NOT a miracle that her 3GS is louder, mine is the same. I can barely hear the 4. I have to use the 3GS as an alarm so I can wake up! I miss calls & alerts all the time b/c I can't hear them! Seriously, if you don't have anything nice to say, DON'T D OUCH E UP THE THREAD!!!
