iPhone 6s Distorted Sound

Thank you. That's what I thought. I was a bit surprised to read that so many people were able to receive replacements. I think I mentioned before that after going to the Genius Bar twice and using Apple's telephone support, they would not replace my phone. Good to know it won't make a difference. But shame on Apple. It's really awful for those of us who can hear this distortion. Thanks again.

The 48khz theory does not explain why I can't send a simple iMessage without a distorted iOS 9 built-in audio sound.

Try to install the 9.2 beta 1 Public release. No more distortions on ringtones.😐 I think Apple prepare the answer to this "speaker gate"... They made.

Any news Guys?

Whilst the new software may address some issues, neither iOS 9.2 Beta 1 or 2 offers any improvement with regard to piano music. This is clearly a hardware fault which not evergone has discovered - unless they enjoy piano content. Perhaps this is why Apple have not considered a recall of defective devices because listeners are in the minority

Hi there,

1. Music with classic guitar is also affected. There is a range of frequencies not supported by the iphone's speaker (from 75% to 100% volume.)
2. The ringtones don't have distortion anymore with the 9.2 public beta1. >> So, APPLE made something to fix it... Perhaps the apps (youtube, spotify etc) are going to do the same thing...

The fact that both classical guitar and piano style music are on Apples very own iTunes, seems to conflict with the fact that the iPhone 6S is unable to play this type of music between 75-100%.

Also, Apple pride themselves on the 'recently launched' Music App - so it would be incredulous if their very own devices (e.g. iPhone) cannot play music properly.

Considering the cost of the device, Apple need to fit a speaker capable of playing music at ALL frequencies on their flagship iPhone.

I have been dealing with Apple Support for the past 4 weeks and their Technical Department. Strangely, no one from Apple has ever suggested that certain frequencies aren't supported by the iPhone 6S speaker.

I suspect that the iPhone speaker is designed and intended to support music at ALL frequencies (at all volume levels) but unfortunately, some faulty speaker units have found their way into the production line of the first batches - hence the reason why I am continually being sent replacement units.

If all iPhones were incapable of playing such frequencies, Apple would not send replacements and would simply confirm their inability to play such frequencies etc.

I suspect that there are perfect iPhones out there, but it is a lottery in trying to source them .....

This gives dome hopes to me

*some

Apple never recognised their mistake in past (antenna Gate, bending phones...) they just fixed the issue by maKing software patch or new models for hardware cases. Massive racall is not the good solution, too expensive. So they don't speak about those issues... For now...

Some "Big Brain" somewhere is trying to fix it for his business

IOS 9.2 beta 3 released, nothing changed

Friends of the Apple forum, after 4 weeks waiting, I was contacted to go pick iPhone 6S, because I had sent mine to the guarantee due to the problem of distortion in the loudspeaker, as of course, they detected the distortion, and sent me a new one iPhone 6S (refurbished), and to my astonishment, when i was testing the iPhone in the store, i realize that.. IT COMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM !!!! Immediately i demanded the return of the money paid for the iPhone! I AM DONE WITH APPLE UNTIL THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM.

Not advise anyone to buy iphone 6s in the coming days, I advise everyone to hand over the iphones and ask for a refund until APPLE decide to admit the error and replace the defective component !! THIS IS A SHAME !!!!!

Why hasn't someone started a twitter post on this. maybe Tim Cook will respond then. this is sad no acknowledgement at apple. even though you go into a store and they say yes that is distorted and here is new phone that is also distorted. The phones price is ridiculous 😟

You're right, goofy69, but most of all, we have to know that this is the OFFICIAL APPLE FORUM, it would be clever of APPLE have more attention to their customers through their forum .. This is a scandal, that this APPLE trying to ignore! Steve Jobs you must be very upset about this, is it, wherever you are... Please, we have to join us all and continue to complain, and to spread this problem all over the internet, friends and family! Together we will be able to do APPLE admit the error and resolve the situation.
