iPhone 6 Plus vibration is ridiculously loud... is this normal?

I had tested the demo set in apple store, which has no such issue as I am experiencing. I will getting the device back to my telco for replacement. Keep you guys update on the outcome.

I just had to replace my first 6 plus because the receiver ear piece was distorting and buzzing. The first unit vibrated loudly and strongly. The second unit that I'm on now has a much weaker vibrate function. I can't even feel it in my pocket, I just can't win! I'm also noticing that the Key Click volume on the keyboard is much quieter on this unit as well. If only I could find a unit with a strong vibrate function, louder key clicks and a working earpiece I'd be set.

Got an appointment tokorrow at 3PM PST to speak to a Genius. Hope they can get me a replacement, if they have any.

I went through lot of procedures and had my iphone6+ replaced and now the vibration have no adnormal sound like "ting ting" as if in boxing ring!

Just sharing my experiece, hope anyone else experiencing the same issue doesn't need to go through bad procedure~!

My cellphone provider (Singapore) refused to replace the phone, they mention it is an standard issue as another person reported the same issue next to me but to blamed it is 6+ design flaw!

So I left and called AppleCare to logged a case (ticket number), then visited my provider again for the same issue. Then they called AppleCare to clarificed my case which took 3hrs (lotsa argument and explanation) and then agreed to replace for me!

Just got back from my appointment today. They were reluctant to replace it for me, saying this would be the only exception due to how the phone is just a week old. So if I were to have the same issue, I can't get another replacement. The unit I have now is only marginally better. The first one had a lower "buzzing" tone that was definitely noticeable; this one just has a slightly higher tone. The loudness is kinda of still there. I guess I just have to live with this.

I have had mine almost a week now and have thought the exact same thing...The vibrate is extremely loud...I have to disable it to completely silent in class.

So the only solution is to get a replacement in the end?

This is so annoying...😟

My 6 plus is the same, very loud vibration noise. Something that helped me; create a personalized vibration pattern for notifications. You can lightly tap the screen and the vibration isn't as intense. Seems to make it seem more like a normal 6, or previous iPhone models.

I bought the 6 first then traded for the plus and I believe the vibrate is not only quieter on the 6 a lot stronger vibration as well over the 6 plus but the 6 plus does sound like its rattling the housing more or something is loose. I also think the external speaker is louder on the 6 vs the 6 plus. Kind of surprised considering the 6 plus is supposed to be the top of the line model. Seriously though next time you are in an apple store or a store that is displaying both models check it out for yourselves and let me know your opinion.

Just got my 6 Plus in the mail today and I'm sad to say I have this issue. Not good at all to have what seems to be a hardware flaw right out of the box. To make matters even worse... I just submitted a sim unlock request through AT&T for my 6 Plus about 10 mins before finding the vibration issue. If I end up having to replace my phone I just lost that unlock I'm assuming.

A fresh unboxing is supposed to be happy times! 😢

For what it's worth... I'm also switching from the 6 to the 6 plus. Still have my 6 sitting in front of me now and the vibration is just as strong minus the rattling sound.

Mine too!

From this, I don't know whether to think all of ours are loud because the 6+ is in some sense designed that way, or only a very small percentage are loud, but most of us searched on this symptom, encountered this conversation, and replied, "yeah, mine too!"

I'm not sure if it's feasible to assess how loud other 6+es are in an Apple Store, since the environment there is rather noisy. Nevertheless, I'll be interested to hear what you find.

I'm going to compare against a coworker friend who got a 6+ the day after I got mine.

I brought mine by the local Apple store, and they concluded that 6+es are just designed that way. They compare it to three or so others they had in the back room (where it was quiet). I did a quick comparison to a couple on the floor, and, yes, it probably was about the same. I haven't yet had a chance to compare it to my coworker friend's.

I think I will file feedback with Apple, and then just shut off the vibrator.

Same problem here... I phoned Apple to have it replaced and, if the new one they are going to send me has the same problem I'll have to go for the regular iPhone 6 😟

Everybody's needs are different, of course, but for my purposes, the big screen is more important than the vibrato, so I just disabled it.
