Did anyone else notice how bad your music now sounds after the iOS 27 update? Now my phone can’t play music loudly enough to hear it through the entire room, and if I use headphones it sounds like garbage. My music sounded great and got loud enough to hear from the other room before I did the update but afterwards it doesn’t even go as loudly as it used to. I wish they would stop trying to fix things that aren’t broken. And yes I’ve gone into the useless EQ in the music app in settings and changing around the options are varying levels of “terrible sound”.
If the iOS update somehow magically degraded Music on iPhone, this forum would be beyond blown up with people complaining, but it's not. And the tech press would be broadcasting this in every tech publication and it would be reported on the nightly news, but it's not. Music is one of the most used applications on iPhone.
iOS 27 did not one single thing to music from any of my devices, which include two iPhone's, two iPad's and a MacBook Pro. And I listen to a LOT of music from those devices.
I have no clue what could have happened in your case, but there are millions up millions upon millions of people on iOS 27 who aren't having any issues at all.
What do you listen to music through (the internal speakers, headphones, external speaker)? What is the source of the music (Apple Music or some other streaming source)?
After you did the update, did you Force Restart your iPhone? I do this after every iOS update --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
If that doesn't help, schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and let Apple test your iPhone --> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
