iphone 16 pro, just bought it more than half a month ago
When voice (Simplified Chinese) is gray, you can't click, that is, you can't convert voice to text, but it doesn't last 24 hours a day, sometimes it's available, I got it to the Apple store that day, and it's fine again, but they can't solve it
Has been ruled out:
Screen usage time is not enabled
There is no microphone permission denied (no way to deny it at all)
No network privileges are denied, cellular is open to all services of the system
Reset the system
Tried the default ISP DNS, and also tried Alibaba DNS
The old and new mobile phones have the same account, the same network and the same place, and the old iPhone backup phone has normal voice input, but this new 16pro cannot
If you change to other input methods, it is possible, such as SOGOU
I called Apple's customer service number and asked, but he couldn't give me a solution except reset
Head pain, has anyone encountered it?
Do you really need to change the machine? But it's not like a hardware problem

Anonymous14354 Apr 30, 2025IPhones starting from the XS have 4 Mics, two on the bottom USB-C/Lighting port, one on both sides in the upper earpiece and one near the back camera Let Apple help you check whether there are some Mic hardware faults My speculation is that when using speech to text normally, people are facing the iPhone at a certain distance. The first three Mics should be the main radio force. Sometimes they are available and sometimes they fail. Maybe some of them are broken -Maybe you clean up the dust on the upper and lower earpieces or see if there is any shelter? laugh

Poster May 1, 2025Called Apple again in the morning This customer service told me that not only has Apple recently received responses to this problem in batches, but he himself has also received responses to this problem from 16 series users. The solution he can give is the same as what was mentioned on the first floor, which is to restart, and then it can last No one knows how long I said what to do, the reply has to wait for the system update, usually no more than a month Personally, I am not inclined to think that this is a MIC problem. Otherwise, how can I switch to a third-party input or use a recorder to use WeChat normally? Apple itself does not need to restrict the input method because some of the four MICs are broken. This is Just like if you break a spoon while eating, you are not allowed to use knives, forks and chopsticks. It is really unnecessary Combined with the SIRI mentioned on the 1st floor, I wonder if a certain domain name or certain servers have a problem with their own or majeure force, which causes this part of the infrastructure to become gray and unavailable when it is randomly used, and restarts or other behaviors cause connections. After different infrastructures are connected, it is temporarily available again? In this situation, the third-party input method is so happy that it suddenly collects the voiceprints of many people, which are used to train AI or other things
