Are there any fixes for iPhone 16 Pro speaker issues?

I have noticed a bad crackling sound when on calls on my iPhone 16 pro max….very annoying and hard to hear the person on the other end…hopefully this is a software issue that can be fixed….

I noticed it when listening to music or watching videos. You open the app start playing the song or the video and as soon as you press the volume up or volume down button, you get a single pop from the speaker. Happens all the time. My 16 pro has it, my sister‘s 16 Pro Max has it. Even ordered another one through Apple just to see if it was a bad device. I ended up returning the one that I ordered because that one did it too. Hopefully it’s just a software issue. I kind of feel better though knowing that mine is not an isolated problem. The speakers sound great otherwise. Also, my M4 iPad Pro does it as well, although the pop/crackle is much quieter. That’s what leads me to believe it might be a software issue, especially since the iPads and the phones use different speakers.

I’ve only experienced the crackle when adjusting the volume up or down occasionally when watching YouTube. However calls have been just fine.

Yes this is very true, It happens to me too.

I just bought my iPhone 16 pro max and it crackles during calls only. Video and apps are crystal clear.

Same here. Volume up/down triggers the crackle/pop when watching YouTube or listening to music.

Same the sound crackling when watching youtube video

That is the exact same issue I am seeing, everything else seems fine on the phone.

I have the same issue videos TikTok, instagram, WhatsApp etc..

the crackle JUST ON BOTTOM SPEAKER.

the ear speaker is perfect.

same time I rest the iPhone 16 pro and fix, but temporarily. The issue come back after hours.

During calls my new iPhone 16 Pro either echos and I can hear myself talking, there is a gurgling sound OR it freezes and the person can no longer hear me as if I hit the mute button.

In that case I have to take the call off speaker and then put it back in speaker.

I paid waaaaaay toooo much money to be experiencing these technical issues.

still have the issues even in my new updates, idk if its software or hardware
