Disappointing Audio Glitch on iPhone 16 Pro Max – No Fix YetI recently upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and noticed an irritating audio issue that has yet to be resolved. Every time I play a video or audio clip—whether it’s YouTube, Apple Music, or another app—the volume briefly spikes, then drops down. It’s not just annoying, it disrupts the listening experience completely.I’ve double-checked all settings like “Reduce Loud Sounds,” Spatial Audio, and Headphone Accommodations—they’re all off. I’ve tested this on the same apps on my older iPhone 13 Pro, and there’s no issue there. This confirms the problem is isolated to the newer hardware or iOS audio processing.Apple Support hasn’t offered a solution yet, and from what I’m seeing online, I’m not alone. For a flagship phone, this kind of glitch is unacceptable—especially given the premium price point.I’m hoping Apple acknowledges and resolves this soon. Until then, buyers should be aware—if consistent audio quality matters to you, this could be a dealbreaker.
