iPhone 12 pro max - no volume when used as an actual phone

[tbone_ 14449]

Anyone else have this issue? New phone. Volume is great on speaker, great with headphones, great with Bluetooth, but put the damn thing to your ear and I no volume out of that speaker.
 
I’ve tried every setting i could find. Any ideas?
 
Also, htf does someone make a Genius Bar appt? Is that even still a thing?
 
Thanks in advance.

What does your husband say?  Has he looked at it?

(Sorry, someone had to post it)

Have you tried it with Bluetooth turned off?

Tried a hard reset?

Thanks but did not help.

I have the same issue with my Xs Max ever since it was new. Can’t hear shit through the ear speaker, but everything else works like you said. Never found a fix. Since I always have air pods on me, it’s never really been an issue

It’s Apple’s way of forcing you to buy AirPods.

Go to the Apple website and just make an appointment.  It's easy.  Drop off phone and hang around Kierland and scope out the hotties while they fix it.

I was hoping to avoid that but guess I’ll have to.

I’ll probably just go drink at the bar at Dominicks. Was there once a while back and this old timer sitting next to my buddy and me leans over to us out of the blue and says, hey what are the five things you need on a deserted island? We don’t know, what? Food, water, shelter, pussy, and new pussy. /csb
