This was a practice I had to adopt for a period of time where connecting my Sony bluetooth headphones to my iPhone would reset the system volume to max, sometimes only after I had pressed play on Spotify. Numerous occasions where my ears were instantly blasted with whatever music I had last paused at maximum volume trained the habit. It was finally fixed a couple updates ago, I think around when they introduced the health feature to track whether you've been listening to music too loudly. Go figure. It had been getting frustrating enough that I was ready to write a blogpost wondering how much cumulative hearing damage had occurred across the iPhone userbase as a result of that bug.
