Apple iPhone 12 Pro's Speaker Malfunction and Expired Warranty

My iPhone 12 Pro's warranty expired about a month ago, and it's been having problems with the speaker ever since. Apple is requesting payment to resolve the issue. They offer no assistance or satisfaction to their customers. As an authorized service provider for a variety of brands, I no longer recommend Apple products to the customers I serve. I have a sneaking suspicion that Apple deliberately causes iPhones to fail shortly after the warranty expires. When reviewing recent complaints, you will notice that the majority of them occur shortly after the warranty period has expired. Apple will need to devise a solution that is both quick and effective for this issue.
