Iphone 7 Keyboard Volume

I noticed the clicks problem 2 yrs ago when I purchased my iPhone 6 Plus. The difference between my 5 and 6 is dramatically different. I complained, I exchanged, and finally I realized that there was no way I was going to be able to go back to the sound that my 5 had. For some reason apple thinks that people do not want this sound. Which is completely incorrect. I have now upgraded to a 7 plus and just like my 6 there is no way to increase the keyboard click sound. I have tried every thing and nothing. So now I will beg and plead with apple however you applied the click sound in your 5 and before please apply to the new phones!! I like my clicks, I need them, and most of all I miss them!!!

On IOS 10.3.2 the keyboard clicks are still barely audible. It's very annoying. I have to increase the ringer to the max to actually hear any clicks, which is also annoying. I keep my ringer at half the volume. There should be a separate slider for the keyboard clicks.

Apple! If you care about your frustrated customers you will post an official statement in this thread.

Hello Soundhd and welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Judging by your name, I believe that you like to listen to sound. When Apple announced the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus they talked about the speakers on the iPhone(s) a lot. Have you tried rebooting and/or hard rebooting? Also, if your iPhone 7 Plus is still in warranty, I would suggest to go to your local Apple Store and have them take a look at it.

I cannot speak for music/video audio as that is not giving me trouble, but I too am having a problem with the keyboard clicks. I can put my iPhone 6s Plus and my iPhone 7 plus directly next to each other (both running the same OS version) and hear a stark difference in the volume of the keyboard clicks.

Thus far I have:

• Restarted the device - no fix.
• Ensured the volume controls are adjusting keyboard clicks; it is quiet on max but can get even quieter.

  Did this by opening notes and holding volume keys while randomly typing; can confirm volume goes up and down, but does not get anywhere near as loud as my old phone.

• Restored from my old phone's backup a second time; no fix.

Update, I found another thread (iOS 10 keyboard sound volume) where users are reporting the same problem on other iPhone models outside of the iPhone 7. This would seem to point more to the issue being iOS 10.0.1. Upon further investigation of my old iPhone, it seems I did NOT update my iPhone 6S Plus to iOS 10.0.1. I will attempt to do that in the next day or two and see if that hoses the keyboard volume. If it does, that means it is a confirmed replica table issue with the latest build of iOS 10.

Ditton almost everything you just said @Krahnin. I too realized this anomaly and did a quick comparison between my wife's iPhone 6S and my iPhone 7 and there's definitely an audible difference in volume. I made sure her volume was turned all the way down as low as possible (1 square) just like mine. I then held each phone's speakers up to my ear and tapped a few keys on the keyboard. Just to be sure I wasn't losing my mind, I also had my wife compare the volume of both phones and she agreed that her phone was louder. About to install 10.0.2 though--we'll see if the problem is resolved in that bug fix release!

Updating to iOS 10.0.2 did not solve this for me. I would assume this is software as everythig else coming from my speakers works fine. The only exception being the keyboard clicks and the lock sound.

I have also started a support case with Apple. I provided the technician a link to this discussion as well as the other one (linked above). I will also be providing them a video recording of my old iPhone 6S Plus and my iPhone 7 Plus side by side, comparing the volume disparity between the devices.

One week in and the video recording I submitted has not even been looked at (emailed via file share system that generates download receipts - has not been downloaded). Posting it here for you guys to see. Alongside a healthy disclaimer that this was shot on the fly and is by no means professionally done.

That is just the thing. I had the feedback app when I was playing with iOS 10 beta on my iPhone 6S Plus. Neither during the beta releases or with the final release of iOS 10 did my old phone have any of these issues. It seems to be a hardware/software clash of some sort.

I cannot blame the software because my old phone running the same OS is fine. At the same time, I cannot blame the hardware because the sound for games/videos/ringtones are all fine. Anyways, @SoundHD thanks for the update. I will keep checking in if I get anything new on my side.
