In a recent post, tech reviewer and influencer Miles Above Tech pointed out a speaker issue with his iPhone 15 Pro Max models. Yes, you read that right, ‘his iPhone 15 Pro Max models’ because the tech influencer found this issue on more than one Pro device. The issue in question makes the speakers on the iPhone 15 series rattle once the volume goes above 80%.
Miles noticed this issue on his first iPhone 15 Pro Max device and since he paid over $1199 he took it back to Apple for a replacement. He got a new Pro Max device, but this also had the same issue, leading Miles to take it back for another replacement. Surprisingly, even the third Pro Max device he got from Apple had the same speaker issues.
This recurring issue raised some serious concerns in Miles’ head, leading him to make some findings. Was this issue just affecting several models in the store Miles got him, or is this a general issue? These might have been some of the questions that ran through Miles’ head, and the answers he got were even more shocking.
The iPhone 15 series speaker issue is a general problem among the brand’s users
From his research and findings, Miles could then see that he wasn’t the only one with the speaker issue. Other users of the iPhone 15 series were also facing the same issue on their various devices. With each user, once the device crosses 80% volume, the front speakers start giving off a vibrating sound.
Well, finding out that other users have the same speaker issue wasn’t enough for Miles as he took things a step further. Heading over to an Apple store he went on to test if all the 15 series devices on display had the same issue. To his surprise, all models he put through this test had the same issue proving that this isn’t a peculiar case.
But what exactly is the cause of this rattling of the front speaker once the volume goes above 80%? Some users suggest that it might not be a hardware issue but instead a software problem. If this assumption is anywhere close to the truth then Apple can easily fix this with a software update.
However, if this is a hardware issue, Apple might have to recall a ton of iPhone 15 models. Sadly, this isn’t the only issue that the new iPhones have made the headlines for. There is the case of overheating, battery issues, USB-C charging issues, and so on.
Apple needs to sit up and offer solutions to these issues that users are currently facing. These issues might hold some potential buyers back from purchasing devices in the iPhone 15 series. Users will be hoping for Apple to roll out fixes to these issues in the coming weeks.
