The iPhone 8 may come with some of the most advanced tech in the industry, but one of its simplest components is failing for some users.

Several owners are reporting a high-pitched crackling or static sound emitting from the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus’ earpiece during a phone call. The complaints are spread across forums, Apple support pages, and social media, and they don’t appear to be affecting users in a specific region. In fact, users confirmed the issue is happening across multiple mobile carriers both in the U.S. and internationally.

MacRumors user “vask” first posted about the issue on Sept. 22, the iPhone 8’s release day.

Is anyone else experiencing a crackling static noise from the earpiece during facetime or cellular calls? Strange thing is this noise happens randomly, roughly 1 in 3 calls. This is happening on iphone 8 plus.

The crackling can be heard during regular phone call and FaceTime calls. It seems to go away when the earpiece is put into speaker mode.

Here’s a video demonstrating the call quality issue.

Apple acknowledged the problem in a statement to the Verge, claiming there are only a “small number” of users affected. A spokesperson assured the company would work on a fix and include it in an upcoming software update. “Our team is at work on a fix, which will be included in an upcoming software release,” the spokesperson said.

That should be a huge relief for iPhone users since an issue of this nature typically means unfixable hardware failure. But it’s curious why all iOS 11-powered iPhone 8s aren’t affected.

If you’re an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus owner, you have a few options. You can either return your device to an Apple store for a replacement or patiently wait as the Cupertino giant frantically searches for a cure.

As Tom’s Guide points out, Apple released iOS 11.0.1 on Sept. 26, but reports of the popping sound continue to flood discussion pages

For some of us who are still sane and can't fall for the apple scam, this is great news

Is this..."speakergate"?

Lmao, #SpeakerGate!!!

HarveyDeven:

OTA update of 2MB will solve it

Time bomb

Shey I no talk am?

Hope the new update resolves the issue.

See as techno users and the rest dey happy.



Bad belle

At least, it's better than the Samsung bomb that explodes without warning. This one has an audible ticking countdown timer. So you know when to fling it outta the window.

It's going to blow niyen o...


this comment is typed with my iPhone 30X

Apple please

Lobatan...oro kpesi je oo

The rush to make extra money led them astray to forget that 'oyo' chips inside the phone

OYO is #IGBOTIC (local musical instrument)

Breeze don blow

After I just paid for me and bae

I read only the heading ooooo
But after spending such money now apple is telling me stories.
I will sue them

Well, this is what happens to people who have more money than brain.

I have been waiting for complaints to start dropping.
