Did you take off the protective film on the front.
Yes, it does make a difference. I've had three friends complain before they take it off.

Since you had so much trouble with your iPhone 5 why did you buy another iPhone? |

Maybe you need the iPhone 7? And don't forget the air buds!  |

Because it's an iPhone. Something has to suck so you want the newest one.

axially, I loved my iPhone 4 for the 2 years I had it......except for the battery life issue, I loved my iphone 5S up until this searching for signal problem occurred....
Also, I am in a new area (just moved last week) and I literally don't know anyone and having no phone / GPS I am kind of "stuck".....it was an epic day (in a bad way) yesterday......it took me 90 minutes to find the apple store instead of the 20 minutes that it should have (Google maps printed directions sent me to the wrong exit). Once I was there, I had no other directions, no GPS, and needed a phone...so they had me by the cajones....
also I have no idea how to transfer over my music to another phone and with me being new to a new job and area w/ no friends .....I don't need to add learning a new smart phone into the mix......
if it's only the volume I'll adjust (for now putting it on speaker mode seems to work well enough.....and I do still have the plastic thing on the front, so I will see if removing that helps) and I will see if I find any other issues
it was an epic day, worthy of a rant on here....basically it took me 8 and half hours to buy a new phone and I had the perfect tri-fecta let me down yesterday (Google, Apple, and ATT&T)

Make sure your fingers are not on the bottom of the phone. Sometimes I catch myself covering the speaker.
Oops.

100% is the plastic cover. All of them complained about the exact same thing and had to use speaker phone. It seems apple stopped cutting the film to the specifics so the film covers the speaker used when you're taking on the phone.
Cuz for 700 they skimp on even the cheap shit.
