The speakers on my iPhone 16 Pro Max sound really strange, like if my case is covering them, although it's not. The sound quality seems to be worse while I'm using social media apps, Apple Music, and other similar apps. I might simply stick with my iPhone 13 Pro Max until I figure out how to resolve this problem. Is anyone else having the same issue.

My closest Apple Store is 3 hours away, and hopefully they can figure out the problem. It’s just may be a software issue, but for now I’ll just use it till I find a solution. I’m also bummed out since I paid 1,399 US.

I went to 2 Apple stores with my new iPhone 16 Pro Max because the speaker sounded very bad. It sounded like a defective speaker when making calls and playing sound. According to the on-site audio test in the first Apple store, everything was fine. In the 2nd Apple store, they offered me a repair, but I declined because the defect was discovered on day 1 after unpacking. I only got the appointment almost a week later in the first Apple store, Genius Bar. I returned it and went back to my old phone because I'm not sure if it's a general problem and at the price of 1700 EU you can expect something
It’s been five years since I got a new phone and the sound quality is very tinny and sort of static sounding compared to my iPhone 11. Can they fix this with an update? Nothing is in the way of the speakers.
This seems to be a global 16 pro max problem. My audio from the speakers is just horrible. No matter what app I use for any playback, it sounds completely awful compressed and just unusable for any listening. Hope apple fixes this soon.

Did you find the cause and remedy for the audio problem?
I'm planning to buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max, but I’ll wait until this issue is resolved.
Thanks
Is it a specific app or apps? If so, which obe(s)? Is it every app including Apple Music?
It’s the phone quality that sounds bad
