I had a problem with extremely low volume on my Iphone 6 - SOLVED!.

Other functions like, speaker, bluetooth were OK.

The solution was a big surprise to myself - since I was sure it was SW or a setting somewhere.


I carefully cleaned the little slot in the glas in the frontside of the phone where the sound comes out in normal use. I used a little piece of cotton with a little water/soap for dishwashing - do not soak it in water - did this app 5 times. I then used alcohol - did this app 5 times.


I almost cannot believe the change it did ;o) I had to adjust the volume down again.


So in my case it wasn't SW or settings - but simply dirt (not visible to me) that had to be mechanically remowed.

I have the same problem with my IPhone 7 Plus. Before iOS upgrade to 11.0.x, volume was working fine, now it is really low and mainly in Cars hands free ... even for the music it’s really low... I have to increase to the full volume of my car in order to listen music.... it’s serious issue with iOS 11.x


Apple team, please fix this issue ASAP. Thanks

I called Apple senior advisor and they ran a diagnostic check. The hardware and the software passed 100%. I called my friend, who has the same iPhone 7 plus, and he said that his talk volume is great. That really puzzled me what is going on. I can think of only one thing, and that is some of the iPhone 7's are defective are defective. I am one month after the warranty.
