Issues with iPhone 16 Pro Max – Speaker and Screen

Since I bought my iPhone 16 Pro Max, I’ve been experiencing two issues. The first one is with the top speaker – when I increase the volume past halfway, the microphone starts to crackle. This is especially noticeable during phone calls, and the sound quality becomes very bad. The second issue is that sometimes, out of nowhere, the screen stretches for a split second, and I see green, black, or other colored lines. These lines appear in different parts of the screen, especially when I turn it on or in certain apps. Even the Always-On Display sometimes glitches. I’m starting to wonder if the phone is defective or if it’s a software issue, as updating to iOS 18.0.1 hasn’t fixed it. Does anyone else have this problem with the new iPhone?

I purchased the iPhone pro max and the speaker crackles at times and we compared it to my wife’s iPhone 14 and there is a big difference. I had the phone for two weeks. I’m wondering if it’s the defective.

I went to 2 Apple stores with my new iPhone 16 Pro Max because the speaker sounded very bad. It sounded like a defective speaker when making calls and playing sound. According to the on-site audio test in the first Apple store, everything was fine. In the 2nd Apple store, they offered me a repair, but I declined because the defect was discovered on day 1 after unpacking. I only got the appointment almost a week later in the first Apple store, Genius Bar. I returned it and went back to my old phone because I'm not sure if it's a general problem and at the price of 1700 EU you can expect something

My phone is only a week old and the keyboard sound has been increasing and decreasing on its own since the first day. Also, the sound of sending messages in WhatsApp explodes, then it returns to normal and the explosion repeats. Is this a software or hardware error? What should I do?(16 Pro)

I thought apple will address this issue with the current update unfortunately it didn’t happen.its really disappointing to have this issue since the calling is the main function of a phone.hope apple will address this issue immediately.this is really annoying.
