I have been to the Apple store in Amsterdam 3 days ago. They tested the phone and it appeared that 1 of the receivers was broken. Therefore they replaced the entire screen (which includes the receivers nowadays). Took 1,5 hour and everything works fine again.

Highly doubtful. I get the cracking when listening to music or playing a game. My old iPhone 7 Plus had a sound problem as Iv stated which caused the phone to overheat playing a game for about 15 minutes on it. To the point where it become unusable.


now my iPhone 11 Pro Max has sound issues too. It’s most defiantly a hardware problem. Either the supplier of the sound hardware is supplying defective chips. Or something is shorting on the inside of the phone. When you look at the motherboard for the iPhone 11 Pro Max it’s two boards sandwiched together. So something shorting could very well be the issue.

I can give you a little good news.

firstly. Found what was causing my screen issues. Especially when answering calls. It was the case I had it in. The case was a premium one which could split into two parts. Both half’s had magnetic backs on them to allow wireless charging. I switched to a normal leather one and Iv not had an issue screen wise since. So anything with a magnetic back don’t use it.


finally. iOS 14 is coming this autumn (according to Apple sources) I can only assume they are ignoring these threads with complaints because they have addressed a fix in the new OS. I’m only wishful thinking though. So just wait if you can and see if this new update solves it. More than likely it’ll make things worse.

Usually with early new iOS front line updates there’s loopholes you can take advantage of too. Sometimes I think about just going back to my trusty old Nokia 3330. Ahhh the good old days lol. It’s an old phone but it puts all iPhones to shame. Mine still works.


i made the same mistake as you. I bought the phone to quick now I wish I didn’t. Next time I’ll be reading up on them first.

hopefully this comment is of some help or comfort to you at least.

When I dial a number and during the long beeps indicating it is calling.... I hear a loud crack that makes you think the speakers have broken or something... or, it resembles the sound of old phones when the person would pick up the speaking/ listening part of those old phones. Very annoying. It does that loud cracking sound randomly and 2 or three times before the person answers. I have never dropped my phone. As it is the most expensive phone I have ever had, I take very exclusive good care of it. It is only 8 months old. Anybody having same issue ?
