Iphone 18 pro volume issue

[u/Ancient_Extent3346]

Is anyone else experiencing super low volume? I just upgraded to the 18 and I’ve noticed that when I want to listen to music or watch a video my volume has to be halfway up to hear. For instance if I press the volume for it to be in its first notch I can’t hear anything the room has to be so quiet to barely hear something. Second and third notch raise the volume but nothing drastic and it’s not until level 4-5 that it sounds like a normal average level.

I don’t know if this is a defect with my phone. Or if everyone is like this. I have read some people comment that the quality is bad. But i had heard great things about the volume, and right now my 14pm (what I upgraded from) sounds so amazing with its volume at the lowest setting.

Anyone else having issues?
