iPhone 6 Plus Volume

I recently purchased an iPhone 6 Plus and I noticed that the volume when on a call is very, very low. I turned the volume all the way up and there is still no improvement. When I had my iPhone 5S, I was able to actually turn down the volume because it was loud. Is anyone else having this problem?


Device: iPhone 6 Plus

Capacity: 128GB

Color: Black/Space Grey


*Phone volume is normal when on a call through Speakerphone or BT connection. Volume level problem is only experienced when using the ear piece.

The punctured hole is just a little bit bigger than the existing earpiece tiny grill holes, I don’t think that will destroy the phone if you are careful enough while making the hole.Moreover you are not puncturing the earpiece , you are puncturing just the grill which covers the earpiece.My device is already more than 3 years old and this method worked perfectly .Another workaround is to disassemble the phone and clean the ear piece grill blocks if the blocks cannot be removed using alcohol swab.

I was having the same problem. I sent a text to my sales rep..... Because I couldn't have heard him on the phone. He called me on my cell and while the call was open had me hit the up volume on the side of the phone. That is how to adjust that volume... Not in settings. The volume control in settings is for the ringtone, and other sund effects. It worked for my phone. Hope it works for yours.

I just received my 6 Plus today, and I'm having the same issue. When playing a video or music the speaker volume can be increased to the point of being loud. After making a few phone calls and putting the volume up to the max, it was still very low. I had a 5S prior to the Plus and would never be able to put it up to max and keep it anywhere near my ear.
