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.
Yes. Thanks! Don’t like having to do each time, but it works!
Hello,
Same problem with my new iPhone 16, the 1% volume is too loud :(
Same! The volume is so loud and it genuinely annoying me now.
Hello, same here, I now have to use an old iphone 6s (!) that I still own in order to listen to my podcasts at night ... please Apple, fix this, thanks.
Thank you!! This worked beautifully!!
Excellent!
Same issue with iPhone 16 Pro here! The minimum is way too loud
In next update they fix it.
This was very helpful thank you so much - this is the only thing that worked after trying numerous ways in setting thank u
I logged in just to thank you for this, genius!!
Come on Apple.. surely you can get this volume sorted out. We pay a lot of money for these phones. I can’t use my radio at all because it is so loud. HELP US PLEASE
Ah!! Yes! I thought I was the only one. Very frustrating!
I logged in just to thank you for this. Thank you so much!
100%, same issue here. No fix so far. Too loud at quietest setting.
UPDATE. On iOS 18.4 (latest version) minimum volume stills too loud.
iPhone 16 Pro Max minimum volume too loud
