    Best Microphone for Calls?

    I currently have 1st gen AirPods Pro and the microphone quality isn't that great. I've been told that only 70% of my speech is comprehensible to the person on the other end. I'm looking for a great sounding headset so people can hear me better. I'm even fine with using a cable, just as long as...

    Speaker phone

    Has anyone else noticed that one of the recent updates killed the ability to tell Siri to make a call on speaker phone? I don’t use the feature daily so I’m not sure if it was one of the last 16 point updates or 17. Also, anybody else think a long press on the audio button during a call should...

    CarPlay Sound on CarPlay muffled on Siri and calls

    The sound in my car is fine for Spotify, Podcasts and any other apps but for phone calls or Siri the sound is muffled and low from one speaker Seems to be the same if phone is connected by Bluetooth or USB. Help Thanks

    MacBook Pro dropping calls when handing off from iPhone

    For the last few weeks my MacBook Pro M1 Max has been dropping calls transferred to it from my iPhone 13 Pro. It's inconsistent. I thought Messages might be causing it, so I made sure it was closed before attempting the transfer. It seemed to work, but today it started again. This time with...

    My iPhone won't ring

    I bought my iPhone SE (2022), having never had an iPhone before. For some strange reason, incoming calls trigger only a vibration. The phone does not ring. How do I set this up so the phone actually rings during an incoming call?

    Text to speech during phone calls

    I have a Mac, iPhone, and iPad. A solution on any of these is welcomed. I put the question here because my preference would be a solution on the Mac. I can hear fine but I have a speech impediment so phone calls generally don't work for me. I type fairly fast so what I've wanted for a long...

    iPhone 11 Phone calls on lock screen

    I very recently purchased an iphone 11 (upgraded from an 8). It's a great phone. However, every now and then I get a phone call on the lock screen, and it has the accept/decline options instead of the slide to answer. My iphone 8 did this as well. Is anyone else getting this? Is it an ios13 bug?

    Making and accepting calls on Apple Watch

    I've noticed that whenever I initiate or accept a phone call on my Apple Watch, the call always gets routed through the Apple Watch. There are some scenarios where I'd like it to behave differently, most notably when I have a handsfree device connected via Bluetooth to my iPhone. In that case...

    Carrier "Searching..." on my Sprint iPhone 6 (PLEASE HELP)

    I have been on vacation to Europe for 5 weeks, and I have just returned. Before the vacation, I turned my cellular data off, because I wasn't looking to bust the bank in order to use my phone. Throughout the vacation, my phone always said "Searching..." at the top left. As soon as I arrived at...

    Airpods: Phone calls in noisy(ish) environments

    Hi all, I've been a recent lurker here -- I recently made the switch to iOS from Android so admittedly I'm a bit of a neophyte in the ways of the Apple. That said, I'm definitely liking things so far! I'm having a bunch of trouble finding information on the mic quality/filtering/sensitivity...

    7 Plus speaker phone quality

    Just compared the speaker phone quality of my new 7 Plus with that of the older 6 Plus. 6 Plus blows it out of the water. Tried 3 different people. All said the 7 Plus sounds horrible. Direct quotes: "Muffled" and "Ewwwwww" Deal killer for me. This phone will have to go back. Anyone else...

    Phone calls on the iPad?

    Do we have an app for that yet? I know the iPad is not a phone but then again these days I use my iPhone for 99% data and 1% phone calls.. Thinking maybe I could ditch the phone all together and just put my sim in an iPad instead.. Apple will most likely never ever put the "phone app" in the...
