Hey there! I’m having a bit of a hassle with my iPhone 16 and USB-C earbuds. I’ve returned and bought them a couple of times under warranty, but the issue persists. Even after restarting my iPhone, the play and pause buttons only work for about half an hour before they stop working altogether. I’ve also tried resetting my phone, but that didn’t seem to fix the problem either. The only thing that seems to work is pressing and holding Siri, which allows me to accept and end calls when I press the play and pause button. However, the play and pause buttons themselves aren’t being detected by my iPhone.
The service guy I took my phone to tried testing it with his own phone and it worked for him. He suggested resetting my iPhone, but I’ve already tried that. I was hoping that a software update would fix the issue, but unfortunately, that didn’t work either. I’ve also found posts about the same problem on Reddit, so I’m not alone in this. I think Apple should fix this in a new update or exchange the phone altogether. Help me out!...
