I noticed that the iPhone 15 seems to ship with a phone call loudspeaker sound set at max. I've had two now, and when making a first call on each and putting on speaker, it was per set at max loud volume.

It was a little annoying, but it led me to wonder if a call or music at max volume would harm the speakers. I can only assume that Apple has thought of that and made sure it operates within safe limits, but the internet seems to think you can damage them. Wondering what you folks think?
 
I cannot guarantee nothing will happen but I can tell you I run my speakers at max in quite a few situations and thus far with all my phones I’ve yet to have an issue.
 
Have a friend who blew out his speakers on his iPhone listening to music at max volume, so . . . . .
 
The highest volume I use is one below the actual maximum.
I didn’t find the volume of 15 and 15 plus speakers to be very loud sexily on phone calls I often had to switch to sealer setting to hear the other person talking
