The iPhone 15, which was released recently, is facing criticism from some users who are experiencing issues with the device’s built-in speakers. Users have reported that the audio sounds crackly and rattly, particularly when the volume is turned up too high. Multiple comments on a Reddit post confirm these complaints, with one user stating that the speaker rattles and sounds like liquid inside, while another mentioned crackling audio in specific videos or frequency ranges. TikToker Milesabovetech also experienced similar problems with their device and had it replaced twice by Apple at no cost, but the issue persisted on the new units.
It is unclear whether the problem with the speakers is a hardware malfunction or a software issue. Despite replacing their iPhones, many affected users still experience the same audio problem, suggesting that it may be a software-related issue. Apple has not yet acknowledged any related issues or provided a solution.
In addition to the speaker issues, some iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users have also complained about the devices overheating during normal usage, such as web browsing. Initially, Apple claimed that the heating was due to normal software conditions, such as the initial setup or running graphics-intensive apps. However, the company recently acknowledged that there is a software issue in iOS 17 causing abnormally high temperatures in iPhone 15 models. Apple has assured users that it is a software problem and that a software update will be released to address the overheating issue.
