Iphone 6 ring/silent switch not working

Well to answer your question, I care because I am interested in seeing if this is a widespread issue. What function does your negative comment serve?

Same issue. Verizon support contacted Apple support for me and Apple support made an appointment for me at Apple Store for repair. They said they can repair. We'll see. Second Iphone 6 that arrived was working fine.

I am experiencing the same problem with my new iPhone 6 (16 GB, White-Champagne / Sprint).

The switch doesn't work as it should. (Silent or Ring Modes)

When switched the button doesn't change any setting.

Meanwhile at rare moments (has happened 2 times now) the phone quickly alternates between silent & ring modes (like back & forth 5 cycles within seconds) without any activation of switch or any function.

On hold as we speak with Apple tech agent though (1800MYAPPLE), the agent is escalating the problem to her senior tech supervisor we (the agent and I) are waiting for him/her. Will update with outcome shortly.

I am having the same problem with my iPhone 6 Plus. I switch it over to silent and get a firm click, but then it bounces in and out of silent mode.

Also there is value posting here and not just running to the store and getting it replaced. Apple should know it's not just a one-off issue.

Apple's way of fixing is replacing. Make appointment with Apple Store Genius Bar and they will replace. Although to be truthful, it takes slightly longer than posting a reply. An FYI to the above😉

The question was not "What should I do about...", but rather "Anyone else having this issue?". 😉

If you read the thread, I did have the same issue. I was only stating how issue was corrected by Apple, but I guess you already knew this information.

My six is doing the same thing. It will "automatically" switch between the ringer on and silent mode in rapid succession until I physically position it in the silent mode. I also haven't had a phone call "ring" for the last few days, alway going to missed calls. This occurred when the switch was in the on position and the ringer volume on full. I agree that it's good to post these issues. Obviously I have to go to the Apple Store and I'm lucky I have one in town. But I can at least go in with the knowledge that the "geniuses" may have already dealt with this or at least heard of the problem.

i recently bought my Iphone 6 at T-mobile and my Silent/ring button doesn't stay in place either. It is always on ring, and when I push the button to silent it immediately pops back. Also the button is very loose. I called T-Mobile and will be exchanging the phone for a new one.

Had the same exact issue with my preordered iPhone 6 that I opened a couple days ago. Took it to the Apple store to swap for a replacement and works just as it should.

ok just return it to APPLE STORE they will change it because of warranty, no need any more to put post like this

its a hardware problem not software, the BUTTON SILENT should be changed.

I am having the same exact issue with mine. I switched it to silent and since then when I try to switch it back it springs back into silent mode with no indication on the screen that it was ever out of silent mode as in previous models. Arg.

I had the same issue.

The switch flipped solidly to the mute position, but that was the end of that. Now it only springs (with force) into the un-mute position, but it springs right back as soon as you let go of the button.

Also, I have bright areas along the edges of the top and top right and left of the screen. Not sure if that's related.

Apple store has no appointments until next week, so I'm taking it back to Best Buy, where I purchased it yesterday.

Same problem for me.

Same problem for me. It doesn't work. iPhone 6 64GB. So sad
