Mostly a joke, but it certainly could not have been good for it to go off full volume. I had no intention of turning it that loud myself before Apple addressed the issue themselves.
For many the distorted top speaker is introduced after turning the volume up to 100%, for those that were avoiding doing so to prevent potential damage, due to the alert message have now had the speaker exposed to 100% volume. With how loud spears are on smartphones these days, it’s irresponsible for that alert to be broadcast at full volume imo
Are we sure that the volume isn’t a stipulation of the emergency notification system itself?
Unfortunately, that is not how this particular alert functions.
This alert could not be turned off, which sets a new precedence as to how they may be handled going forward. My concern is, with the alerts coming in FULL volume, unnecessarily loud for sure and based on what others are saying from having turned up their iPhone 15’s resulting in damaged speakers in different situations, it seems irresponsible for the alerts to be this loud when it could potentially damage hardware. I don’t turn my phone that I paid for myself up to full volume, and I do not want anyone else doing it either. Emergency alerts broadcasted on over the air channels on televisions do not do this.
I’ve renamed the thread to better articulate my concern. I don’t turn my car stereo up to full volume, my Mac or anything for that matter, it can absolutely damage the hardware by doing so. It’s irresponsible for an alert that cannot be turned off to do this to our devices that WE paid for ourselves.
And yet your title says exactly that.
Title has been changed to address my actual concern, that said, it may have damaged the speaker, I’m not going to turn it up that loud again to find out, but from what others have described on other threads, turning the volume all the way up on iPhone 15 does irreversible damage.
As I said earlier, it’s been updated to “could potentially” based on feedback. There are extensive threads stating that turning the 15 series iPhone up to full volume has damaged the top speaker, so I opened up the discussion on the matter, to find out if in fact anyone has experienced this. Regarding your research, Apple themselves have acknowledged the iPhone was overheating and even released an update for it, so yep, that happened, the seams, many users on multiple threads have confirmed it is an issue for them and have found varying differences from unit to unit, and as for the lint, I believe a photo was provided.

iPhone 15 was launched less than two weeks ago, and there are already some users complaining about overheating issues –...
If there was an actual national emergency the last thing I'd worry about is my iPhone 15.
The alert test was very imperative due to its importance to get attention all people in the event dangerous situations threat our safety. Keep calm 😊 and understand the importance for our life. The noise would not damage the hardware 😊
