iPhone 12 Pro Max bottom speaker not working

The bottom speaker on the pro max 12 quit working randomly about a month ago and everything I have read or watched has not been able to fix it. So here I am hoping that I missed something but would greatly appreciate any help I can get.


with out that speaker it makes it extremely difficult to hear any content from my phone.


Thank you.

This is not the first time Apple has been I trouble for something like this, all of a sudden, my bottom speaker goes out. I didn’t even notice until I look at my phone to see 6 missed calls, after raising the ringtone volume and not hearing anything, I went to Apple Music, low and behold; speakers don’t work. I remember a class action suit that had to do with Apple sending signals to manipulate phones which forced many people to have to purchase new phones so they could make more money. There is no reason on earth why my phone just stopped working and it has never been wet, although they promote it as water resistant.

Samsung would never!
