Comment on: Apple Announces iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus

Does anyone else have the hardware issue where the iPhone can't output audio if it is tethered to the monitor (w/o speakers) via the lightning cable?AFAIK, the only app that works in this configuration is Facetime. For all other apps such as AppleTV, Apple Music, youtube, zoom, etc. the iPhone doesn't output audio at all.I hope this bug gets fixed in the new iPhones.
