Why is there no speaker volume limiter? This is my third Iphone with a blown speaker. (alien.top)

I wish there was a speaker volume limiter. Because I accidentally pushed the volume to the max, the speaker was blown again. And it wasn’t even loud music, just the intro music of a game. The speakers are not made to handle max volume, but there is also no option to limit the max volume. There is only an option for headphones, but why not also for the internal speakers? It’s not that difficult to add it.

I blast death metal at max volume on my iPhone every day and I’ve never had a speaker blow out. They tune the volume controls so this doesn’t happen so I’m not sure what you’re doing to cause this but it has to be you if this is the third time.

Maybe because I play a mobile game and the intro sound starts with a very loud sound. It was so loud the sound is distorted. I am not lying because Apple replaced my phone once and fixed the speaker another time.

So why the hell do you continue to play this game knowing full well that the intro has this abnormally loud sound that is damaging the speaker? This type of thing should be reported. What game are you even playing that does something like this?

Because I usually turn the volume down, but accidentally press the volume up bottom. If it’s true that the volume can’t hurt the speaker, then it shouldn’t matter.

That’s not normal app behavior. What game is it?
