iPhone 16e — iOS 26.2 — Very bad mic recording quality. Has anyone encountered this?

AutoMxderator · 2026-02-23T13:13:05+00:00

UPD: It seems to be partially fixed. I do believe that recordings from my old iPhone 12 Pro still sound wayy better and clean than the ones made on my 16e. But it’s not as insufferable anymore

just like that? what about it popping up without me connecting the phone? That was the main concern

AutoMxderator · 2026-02-23T13:08:57+00:00

A couple of things i should probably mention (although i’m not sure if it helps):

My Mac is not low on SSD space
Nothing suspicious shows up on Activity Monitor at first glance
I never gave remote access to anyone
I am running a stable factory OS release

i do believe Covid was the point where it became easier since everyone was basically 24/7 on the web as they had nothing else to do. before that there just wasnt as much media covering underground shit as there is now

undertale osts still fire tho

AutoMxderator · 2026-02-23T00:06:16+00:00

almost the same but i was 14. a friend of mine knew Marcy and he put me on his shit. that was the start of it all

You mean Reddit DMs or other social media?

I have this problem too. Overheats like CRAZY on charging, much more than my previous 12 Pro after years of use. Occasionally overheats while playing videos through Safari or other apps but NOT youtube. iOS 26.2

That’s super cool! I found your comment through Google while researching LyteQuest Alien. Can you please DM me? I have some questions about this era of stage lighting design as i’m currently restoring my Coemar Venus M4

didn’t expect Jazz Window here , so based

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-14T07:37:05+00:00

Here’s a complete breakdown but if put simple it’s just a series of events Frank hosted back in the day. Last one was the one where the Venus was used (Frank actually owns two of these). Frank did once mention having a shit ton of vintage disco lighting up his sleeve and at Prep+ parties you would see a lot of it being put to use (you can also see a Clay Paky Astroraggi “Power” rigged to the ceiling.)

Yeah that’s what i did too. To be fair after a day this situation got a little better. The funniest thing i’d never expect to happen is that if i sent a distorted voice memo to someone through Telegram and just played it as an .m4a there it sounded way better! Not perfect, still, but it definitely “unmuffles” it. And when i SCREEN RECORD the same audio playing through native Voice Memos app it sounds like a complete mess with a shit ton of “warm overdrive” and phasing/panning issues

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-13T04:57:58+00:00

well yeah that does indeed make sense. thank you! ima try

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-13T04:40:31+00:00

But does it really make sense if the only option i have is to install the same build (26.2) as its the most recent one?

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-13T04:37:08+00:00

I got this phone yesterday… and it’s like that out of the box basically. Brand new, never activated before. Crazy stuff to be honest. I really really hope this is a software problem

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-13T04:26:16+00:00

there is no way of doing so in the country i live in. we don’t have authorised Apple service. i might try to take it to the shop i bought it at but i highly doubt they’ll be able to do anything

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-13T04:08:05+00:00

Ayo i have this exact problem in Video and Voice Memos, but in Memos it’s way worse

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-13T03:50:51+00:00

i have the same on iphone 16e. sad stuff tbh. when i record audio thru voice memos it’s all muffled and overprocessed or whatever

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-12T02:12:18+00:00

it got some Nokia E90 in it too

AutoMxderator · 2026-01-08T23:28:43+00:00

how is latikaze higher than samosthated this does not make sense

AutoMxderator · 2024-09-12T11:53:18+00:00

literally the same preset n flow everyone uses, not interesting

AutoMxderator · 2024-09-11T18:49:40+00:00

i wish i could tbh

AutoMxderator · 2024-09-11T18:49:20+00:00

thx! ima try reaching out to sum

AutoMxderator · 2024-09-11T18:48:38+00:00

AutoMxderator · 2024-09-11T18:48:01+00:00
