iPhone 6 volume

I also have a problem with the sound being very low, particularly when on a phone call. Hope it is a software issue and not hardware. Oh by the way i have iphone 6 plus.

Apple doesn't read these forums...this is a user to user forum.

Have you removed the protective plastic that came on the screen? It's not a screen protector, it's shipping/packing material, and covers the speaker at the ear.

I have this problem too with my new iPhone 6 Plus. My wife also has the same problem on her 6 Plus.

The call volume is low and muffled. It is not clear at all and difficult to hear.

I sent a feedback to Apple, but they do look at the complaints on this web site, so anyone with this issue please add to thread.

OK....other than you think the volume is too low, what troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you turned the volume up? Did you remove the protective plastic coating that was on the phone out of the box? Yes, it's fine to ask for other's to chime in, but you could take the time to say what you've tried.

With volume all the up on my iPhone 6 it's VERY loud.

Let's start by saying I have used the iPhone since 2007 and we upgraded from an iPhone 5 on 9/19.

So I will overlook your condescending tone and answer:

- Yes, all plastic removed and new Apple case removed.

- Volume setting examined and all set to Max levels.

- Placed sim back into my wife's old iPhone 5 (still active by AT&T) and volume is much more clear and louder. We don't even need max vol.

- The loud speaker volumes seem just fine. This affects only ear speaker.

- Checked with a co-worker that has regular iPhone 6 model. He thought my phone was lower in volume compared to his.

Sorry I don't have any test and measurement equipment, but I can tell you something is not right.

Nonetheless, people should send feedback to Apple and add to this thread.

Then make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar closest to you and have your phone looked at. If found to be not functioning to spec, it will be replaced.

Will do- just want to check experience of others. Thanks

This has been an issue with the phones since day one. There are third party apps out there. One thing to try is when on a call, use the buttons on the side to increase volume. I know with siri it works this way, start siri and then use volume buttons. Good luck!

two of my iPhone 6 plus has the same problem, voice call and speaker volume are super low, especially voice call is unacceptabl! I have to push the phone to my ear to get the maximum volume! Very uncomfortable!!! Apple should address this problem!

It seems to be a problem on the 6+ models. I hope this isn't becoming like the first batch of new model of cars coming off the line.

Same Issue exactly, at least half the volume of my 5s.

I have to use headphones to take phone calls. No bueno. I hope this is fixed in the next few days.

It's a good idea to call Apple and let them know about this issue. That way they can get information to solve the problem. Apple is pro-active in supporting these devices, which is why I stick with the iPhone since 2007.

That's an interesting observation. My wife's 6+ is about half-volume. My phone is about 75% my old iPhone 5.

Call Apple to get a case started, so the engineers can get working on a solution.

OK.....I too suffered from this on my new iphone 6 and tried EVERYTHING to get the voice volume working. I even went to General/Reset/Reset all Settings and my problem still existed.

NOW, I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT what I did wrong....YIKES! (feeling rather incredibly stupid) I added a 3rd party screen saver to my phone face and it was covering my ports. Once I peeled it back VOILA my volume was normal again. I have since cut out a small rectangular area to continue using my screen saver without impeding my voice volume.

If the reset above doesn't solve it for you.....you might have an external blockage as I did. (still laughing at my rookie mistake....I really should have caught mine sooner)
