Having the volume set to 1% on an iPhone 16 Pro Max with a shortcut is equivalent to 20% on an iPhone X. The speakers are powerful, but the minimum volume is too loud. Is this only happening to me? Is it a hardware issue? Can it be fixed with an update?
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
UPDATE:
Today, I visited a K-tuin store (an official Apple reseller), and they told me they had no record of that issue. I played the same song on an iPhone 16 Pro Max they had on display and compared it with mine, and that one didn’t have the problem. So, in principle, this issue has a solution.
Therefore, I recommend that you all reset your phone to factory settings. I’m going to try doing it tomorrow or in the next few days to see if it works. I don’t think this issue will be fixed with a software update.
Likewise, I’d like to remind you that this forum is not a place for Apple to fix anything. If you have an issue, you should contact technical support and report it, because this forum has no reach.
If the problem persists, I will go to an Apple Store to see if I can request a phone replacement. Lastly, I’d like to remind you that your device has a one-year warranty, so don’t wait until the last minute to address your issue.
Which iOS do you have? This option doesn’t show in Sound/Haptics on mine. I’m installing 18.2.1, so hoping that’s the fix.
I went into settings > sounds and haptics > but there isn't anything that says "volume limit". I searched for volume limit in settings and still can't find it. Any ideas?
my friend, everybody knows that. Thats not the issue
Then what's the issue?
What am I missing? I don’t have a volume limit setting.
A trillion dollar company, and this is the fix?
With all of the suggestions, I still cannot listen to my phone in quiet spaces because the lowest volume is too loud.
Same issue here. iPhone 16 Pro Max’s lowest volume is way too loud compared to older iPhones. It’s really frustrating for quiet settings. Hope Apple can fix this soon!
Unfortunately this didn’t fix the MIN volume for me. Still so loud. I hope Apple fixes it as it’s very frustrating in bed or late at night
Thank you so much for the tip, it worked.
I downloaded the latest update a week or so ago and the issue persist…
Apple has a to learn from their Korean counterparts as they really know how to build phones with precise settings.
1% is Loud. Can’t watch anything next to my sleeping wife. Do better Apple. And do it now. $1500 phone for this horse$¥!t
Change it. We’re all becoming really unimpressed.
is this a joke :), so every time you want to listen music on loudest, you change the limit or you switch it off?
this is not a solution and you cant do anything about this. Apple has to fix it
dont try its useless.. its just drops the overall sound of your phone. you cant enjoy music anymore. and the minimum sound still too loud
i swear ill give apple max. 1 year. if they dont fix it , ill step over to a competitor . this is ridiculous. if there isnt a fix for this, just let us know
iPhone 16 Pro Max minimum volume too loud
