Even though the home button looks the same, it is actually not a mechanical button like the one found on previous models. Instead of having an actual click, it gives an illusion of a click when users presses the button with a vibration effect. Thanks to iPhone 7’s Taptic engine the vibration ‘almost’ feels like a normal click. Because iPhone 7 does not have a traditional button Apple has changed the way we can hard reset iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus.

Step 1: Hold your iPhone 7 in such a way that you can press the power and volume down buttons at the same time. Step 2: Once you are comfortable press and hold the Power button and the Volume down buttons at the same time. Step 3: Keep the buttons pressed as the screen turns off.

Step 4: Let go of the buttons as soon as you see the Apple logo.

Device issues that are triggered by faulty software are more likely to get resolved by end-users themselves. Highlighted below are generic solutions and recommended workarounds you can try on should you wish to fix your iPhone 6s Plus microphone problem by yourself. Be sure to test the iPhone microphone before you proceed to the next method to see if the problem has already been resolved.

If not, try other applicable solutions. Before you start troubleshooting the problem, here are a few helpful tips you can try on. Some users who have tried performing these workarounds were able to obtain positive results. Check the iPhone’s microphone and headphone jack for any debris, dirt or dust. When these components are clogged with dirt, dust or debris, there is a tendency for the microphone’s output quality to become poor or not good as expected.

If necessary, have these parts cleaned using a dust blower, toothpick or needle to remove whatever is blocking the microphone or headphone. Remove any third-party casing or accessory that is plugged into the headset jack. If something is inside the headphone jack, there is a possibility that the microphone’s sound output is barred. Make sure your iPhone is connected to an active and stable Wi-Fi or cellular data network. Network problems can also affect the iPhone’s microphone/audio system.

For example, some users said that they’re having a hard time hearing the person on the other end while on a call. Pertinent symptoms like low or distant sound, intermittent audio, and static background are among the most common concerns, which were found to be triggered by network problems. Test your iPhone’s microphone. You can use audio apps like Siri, Voice memos, Camera, and FaceTime to face any of the iPhone’s microphones that is not working as intended.

Tap to open Voice Memos app on your iPhone. When the app launches, tap the Record icon to begin recording your voice. Be sure to speak clearly with loudness into the primary microphone located at the bottom of the iPhone. When you’re finished recording, tap the Stop/End control. Doing so will end the recording.

To listen to your previous voice recording, tap the Play icon or control. Try to assess your voice recording thoroughly. If you can hear your voice clearly then it is an indication that the microphone is functioning properly and that the problem must be triggered by some other culprits that possibly lay within the iPhone system. Siri is Apple’s patented input command software that is mainly used to give instructions to the iPhone using voice inputs or simply by speaking into your phone about what you want for it to carry out.

If Siri is working properly or executes every input commands you’ve spoken, it denotes that the microphone is fine. To get started, open the Siri app on your iPhone 6s Plus. When Siri is up and running, speak up or say anything that you want your iPhone to do for you like open Safari browser for example. If Siri is not able to get your voice inputs, try to check and ensure that the microphone located near the iSight is not blocked by anything.
