iPhone 16 Pro Max minimum volume too loud

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?

Agreed. At night, in bed, or in the bathroom, we don’t want loud phones.


For all media:

  • Minimum volume with volume buttons way too loud
  • Pulling the volume slider on the screen down to 1 pixel high too loud
  • Setting a shortcut to set all media to 1% volume too loud
  • Then there’s inconsistency between apps of course. Like LinkedIn’s minimum volume doesn’t even start until about 4-6% volume on the slider (when dragging it on screen)


Last phone was iPhone 14pmx, this 16pmx is now way too loud. I think this started with the 15, because my wife has it and she doesn’t even use the on-screen volume to minimize and in bed is constantly hitting volume up/volume down button to hear things but then it’s too loud. With the 14, I was able to get things nice and quiet with the on-screen control.


Please give us fractional percent volume! Or reduce the minimum on the amplifier.
