There’s a new iPhone and, predictable as sunrise, there’s a reported problem that may or may not gain a -gate suffix. This time: some iPhone 7s seem to be making an audible hissing noise.
Here’s an audio clip from Stephen Hackett’s iPhone 7. He says the hissing is loud enough that it “can be heard while the phone sitting on a table.” In the audio clip, though, the microphone is probably right up against the back of the iPhone. Hackett says on his blog that Apple Care are replacing his iPhone 7.
Another video by Unbox Therapy puts a mic right up against the back of an iPhone 7 Plus, and then an iPhone 7 and iPhone 6S as well. The iPhone 7 Plus seems to have a louder hiss than the other two.
