iPhone XR Anyone have a speaker issue with the XR?

When I use Spotify, Youtube, Pocketcasts etc, the volume that comes out of the bottom speaker is loud, but the earpiece speaker is very very quiet. I doubt its supposed to work this way, but I thought I'd ask some other people what they're hearing.

Maybe you need to adjust your Left-Right Balance (Settings > General > Accessibility).

It was in the middle, but if I adjust it to R (the earpiece speaker) I get no audio. If I slide to L, I get loud audio from the bottom speaker. I restarted the phone and then the earpiece speaker started working. Not sure what caused it to stop working in the first place.

If it acts up again, you have one year to take it to Apple for warranty service.

This is all sounding kind of similar to this type of speaker issue that some have been having with the XS/XS Max: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/speakergate-or-just-me.2146190/

Yep, same issue and same resolution (restart phone).
