iPhone XS Max Speaker(in the earpiece) issue

Gotcha thanks, and yes I agree it’s a bug. Hopefully it’s not the same persisting problem I’ve read about that happened last year. Speaker problems on iPhones have been reported for over a year, and not just the Xs and Xs max. A quick search confirms this

It doesn’t sound like the same problem. Some on that thread complain of problems during phone calls also. Ours are during music, YouTube, media or apps with dialogue playback, not during calls that I know of.

If it is the same problem, that means it’s been going since at least iOS 11 and they obviously can’t fix it. This is looking bleak to say the least.

Omg! I’m on my 3rd new IPhone X’s max and after a few minutes everyone says I sound like a robot! I understand this thread is music issues Etc., but haven’t even gotten there yet! Verizon and Apple acting like I’m the only one they have heard of having this issue! Apparently not! Good grief!

blow on the bottom of the phone HARD. Might fix.

Also, the ear piece clarity of the iphone XS isn't as good as previous phones. It's like it's mono, when to your EAR and when on a call, I'm talking about the other person.

My XS just started doing this today. I’ve had the phone for about 3 weeks. Did an online search, which brought me here. Between this and the charging issue (XS and XS max not charging unless you wake up the phone after plugging it in; happening to a lot of people) this isn’t looking like a terribly smooth launch. Here’s hoping Apple invests more in QA.

The charging issue was fixed very shortly after launch by iOS 12.0.1.

Greetings, I have also a problem with my XS Max 256GB modell( private phone)I experience a very poor quality with the earpiece speaker. I already returned the phone to iCentre (official apple store), received a new one after 2 weeks, I still have the same problem with the new device.

I am using also on a daily basis an iPhone 6(company phone), in this case the earpiece speaker quality is far way better than the XS Max. The quality of the conversation is very clear.

I listen to music via Deezer and airpods, in this case I have no problems, the quality is very good. If I talk on the phone via airpods, I still experience the poor earpiece speaker quality. The quality of the conversation is not clear.

The best way to explain my problem as simpy as possible: its like listening the same song on an old casette player versus listening the same song on a cd player.

It is so annoying, I dont know what to do, I paid 1960 USD for this phone, we have 27% VAT in Hungary.

Does your problem still exist? Have you been to the apple store to exchange it?

So how’s your phone doing? Any news regarding this issue?

Yes! Let’s hope it will get fixed!
