iPhone 14 Pro Max Switching Between Silent and Ring Mode on Its Own

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experiencing a persistent issue with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. The phone keeps switching between silent mode and ring mode on its own. This has caused me to miss important calls and alarms, making it difficult to wake up on time or stay reachable.

Here are the steps I’ve already taken to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Manually switched to silent mode: When I set the phone to silent mode manually, the issue seems to stop.
2. Checked for physical issues: I inspected the silent/ring mode switch for any dust or debris and ensured it’s clean.
3. Reset settings: I performed a settings reset, but the problem persisted.
4. Disabled vibrations and haptics: I turned off all vibrations and haptics, but this did not resolve the issue.

Despite these steps, the issue continues. It feels like a hardware issue with the silent mode switch, but I’d like to hear if anyone else has faced this and whether there’s a potential software fix or additional troubleshooting steps to try before pursuing a hardware repair.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!
