Iphone 14 Pro Max Speakers more quiet after week of use

Hello i am writing regarding my speakers on my Iphone 14 Pro Max which i got about a week, I was mindblown how good the speakers were compare to my older Xs Max fresh when i unboxed it. I love listening to music so for me even speakers are an important tool. Straight first thing i have done is that i set up the EQ to Late night to have the speakers even louder than stock default Iphone… After week of use light use i have noticed that the speakers have gone quieter by far like the base has dropped and it just sounds very empty than when i first got them out of the box. I am unsure whats causing this if its an Ios Update or if its dust or something? I have inspected the speaker holes on bottom and on top and they seem to be clean without any decree or dust. Has anyone had the same problem? I am unsure whats causing this but it bothers me because the quality now is not the same as it was when i first got the phone from the box.

Hello i did go back and check my settings and nothing has changed no, I am running 16.1.2 and that's when i noticed it was worse than when i had 16.1.1…. Yes of course i also tried to restart phone back and forth but it just doesn't sound the same as it was last week i can definitely hear the sound or the volume of the sound decreased. Because before i couldn't even use it constantly on 100% volume because it was way way loud and now i can bump it to 100 without a problem because sound decreased by like 30-40% No idea why but i did notice it after the update.

Hi rado211,


That's unusual the sound is lower, are you seeing any messages on the iPhone for sound?


Did you go back and check your settings to make sure nothing has changed? Change the way music sounds on iPhone - Apple Support


Have you tried to restart your iPhone? See Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Do you have the current iOS 16.1.2 version installed? You can see this by going to Settings > General > About.



We look forward to hearing back from you!
