How do I lower volume more effectively on my iPhone 16 Pro Max?

Please, could you increase the number of steps for the volume level, so that we may lower much more the volume? I CAN’T USE THE META RAY BAN eyeglasses, because the lowest volume has damaged my ear (since the sound goes through the bone, not the air). The volume ONLY admits 16 positions: “The volume level is divided into 16 distinct steps, with the lowest setting being the 16th step. However, some users may find that even the lowest setting is still too loud.”

Thank you very much. I agree with you too! We are all deaf now(:


I called Apple and they told me this could be fixed through an update of IOS, but they did not do it yet.

Please, apple may you answer us and allow us more than 16 steps of volume?


I spent 700 euros in this meta ray ban glasses, which now I can't use for phone calls or podcasts at home:

The volume is TOO HIGH in the lowest step (the sound is transmitted through the ear bone), and then my ear sounds like coming out from a disco (and I am still feeling this(:.


This happens also with earpods: the sound is too loud at the minimum level.

Please, Apple may you take care of our ears' health?

We would all appreciate your IOS update and an answer in this forum, please.

Thank you very much for listening us!
