Hi Katey, Yes, this seems to be universal and there is no good fix. Apparently resetting all settings fixes it until you accidently go below 35% again. Let's hope Apple will fix this properly in the next update, I suggest you write to accessibil...@apple.com and add your voice to those who have already written.
By the way, AT&T and other carriers who offer these annual upgrades are totally hosing people. You would be much better off trying to find a MVNO where you pay $30 a month less and to buy an unlocked phone outright from Apple. I know in the States they don't offer them right away, but you should be able to get one soon. I am in Canada and I now pay just over $50 for unlimited phone calls in Canada, unlimited texts including Canada and the States and 2 Gb of data, also call display and voice mail, visual voice mail costs me an extra $2. Getting the same from one of the large carriers would cost me a good $30 a month more, so over 24 months the math is simple, approx $700 to $750. Add to that the cost of whichever iPhone you get and you would actually save a bit buying it at full price and you would not have a contract, if I find something better or maybe there is another promo at Christmas I can just sign up for it.

I also went with their new program "Next" so I'm paying (over time) for the phone and this allows me to be able to get a new phone next year if I want. Of course, if I don't like it for whatever reason I can always return it and go back to my 4s. I will admit that I turned on VO on the 5s they had on display, and I put volume in the roter and I tried turnning up the volume to 100% and it would only go to 90%. Then I went below 35% and I wasn't able to get above that! Does this effect everyone? How do you fix this? I know easy is to not use the volume in the roter! Any other ideas?
