There is a business concept called "eating your own dogfood" which means using your company's products. I wouldn't criticize and individual employee for their personal decisions, but I do think this is short sighted on Apple.

I really don’t know why so many people get hung up on the fact this person who currently works for Apple uses an Android phone. There is a good chance this Apple rep could be in a call centre in the Philippines where she is paid a wage which does not allow her to buy an iPhone and while I am sure Apple employees may get some sort of discount, I doubt Apple gives them a free phone or they can buy one for half price or less. I also doubt that Apple forces people to use an iPhone for their own personal use.

Lyne, I can’t help but laugh at this one, but yes, I am serious the Apple rep told me she uses an Android. I changed the volume in the setting app under Sounds and Haptics. I don’t add sounds in the Rotor just so I don’t accidentally raise or lower the volume. But, it is happening on its own! Kindly, Janet.

Sirious! The rep use an Android and works for Apple! How did you try to changed your volume? Did you try with rotor? Lyne Le 28 juin 2025 à 18:52, janet gross <janet.harv...@outlook.com<mailto:janet.harv...@outlook.com>> a écrit : The rep told me the reason why my volume goes high and then goes low, is what Apple considers to be expected behavior, and for those who are having this same volume issue, instead of having the volume in settings set to 100 percent, turn it down to maybe 98 or 95, to see if that will help, but if not, use the up or down volume buttons to raise or lower the volume sound. So I tried to turn the volume down to 98 or 95 percent, but on my phone it goes from 100 percent to 90 percent. So there doesn’t seem like there is going to be any fix for this one. I also asked the rep about what the Silent Mode is in the sound and haptics settings for to show in the status bar just thinking I was accidentally swiping across the screen that maybe that was raising or lowering the volume. The rep said if the setting to show in the status bar is turned on it will show in the status bar on my screen, but that doesn’t show in my status bar on my screen, rather I have that setting turned on or off. So, I turned it off, but I noticed when I turned off the Silent Mode not to show in the status bar, that automatically turned off my phone ringer, as well as turned off any alerts, so I turned back on the show in status bar, and had to turn back on my phone ringer. I’m sorry but, I just don’t see any logic in all this, matter of fact, the Apple rep said the same thing, but she is using an Android Phone! Although, when I first talked to her she told me that Apple knows about this and many people are having the same issue, and that Apple has been and still is working on this, but then, she read more about what Apple had to say about the volume, and that is when she told me Apple is saying that is expected behavior. What a kick in the pants this one is! -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
