As of now, the original Reddit post has over 70+ comments, with multiple users sharing similar experiences of rattling and distorted sounds from their new iPhone. The problem has been spotted on almost every model of the iPhone 15 Series.
So I got my 2nd replacement for my iPhone 15 Pro Max from Apple and it still has the same top speaker issue?!?! When the volume is above 80% with some songs and videos the speaker rattles and cracks like it has water in it. I tried this at BestBuy too and they had the same issue pic.twitter.com/EppdilT1q9
Twitter user MilesAboveTech has shared a video, demonstrating the rattling sound on the iPhone 15 Pro Max over 80% volume. The user says that he is experiencing the same problem on his replacement unit as well. Furthermore, he also added that all the display units of the iPhone 15 Series at BestBuy had the same problem.
Apple is yet to acknowledge the rattling sound issue on the new iPhones. However, the number of complaints from users over this topic has been increasing day by day.
iPhone 15 Series Continues To Recieve Complaints
The iPhone 15 Series has faced a lot of complaints from users all over the world. On the launch day, users complained about quality-control issues on the iPhone 15 Pro models where they noticed scuff marks on the titanium frame of the phone.

A couple of days later, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max started complaining about overheating issues with their devices. Users reported that their new iPhone would get uncomfortably warm to the touch even with normal usage. Apple has officially acknowledged the heating issue, citing a bug in iOS 17 as the culprit. The company has promised a software update to fix this problem.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max was also criticized by users for having an easily breakable glass back panel. Users are speculating that the titanium frame is putting extra pressure on the glass back, causing it to crack even with slight pressure. However, some users have reported otherwise where the phone did not crack even after dropping from 10 feet height.
The iPhone 15 Series has been in the market for just two weeks now. The initial impressions have been mixed so far where users are praising the new iPhones for USB-C and new design, while others are complaining about niggles with their devices. The situation is expected to improve with time as Apple is slowly addressing these issues as per their high customer service standards.
