Echo on speaker calls iphone 11

I just purchased four new iPhone. One IPhone 11 and three IPhone 11 Pro. Three of them are experiencing the echo problems. The fourth one has not been activated yet but will probably have the same problem. The echo happens while on speaker and also during face time calls. There is a serious problem with this and it needs to be addressed immediately. It’s definitely not the case because I don’t have a case on my phone.

When does it happen for you? Always no matter how you hold your phone or what?

It only happens for me and my friends, when the mic and speaker is blocked by the same thing, as the sound will transfer directly into the mic through the thing that blocks it, in my case the phone holder for a car. - or if I hold the buttom of the phone down into my hand. See above.

With or without a case I’m having problems. My daughter also has the 11 and we both love talking through speakerphone, really horrible with 2 11’s having all the feedback. This is my first apple anything and I’m so disappointed and wishing I would have taken Samsung instead. Fix this please or I’m a goner

I’ve both complained and taken it in, the apple “genius” techs ran tests and insisted there’s nothing wrong but did say they’ve heard about echoing issues with the 11 especially when on speakerphone and to remember that during speaker the mic that is used is on the front of the phone in the earpiece not the bottom of the phone. That’s all I was able to get out of them.

Same issue here; I am on my 2nd iphone 11 and just found that it would need to replace as well; the tech advisor told me that it's a hardware issue. However, this time I am being told that I need to pay $30 to use Apple's Express Replacement Service to receive a replacement phone. No guarantees that the 3rd phone will not have the same issue.

I purchased my iPhone Pro 11 yesterday and I am experiencing the feedback issue on speaker. The caller and I can hear it. I will be returning my phone since I am in the 14 day return period. Guess I'll have to go back to the Pixel until this issue is resolved. :(

Omg so am I! I am having trouble with my iPhone 11 64BG, Purple. Like ***. And I am about to order the iPhone 11 PRO MAX 64 GB, White and I am worried. Please address this wide-spread issue Apple!!! @apple #apple #iPhone11 #iPhone11PROMAX

Having an echo issue on the phone, went to the Oakridge Apple store, associate tested the device. It was confirmed there is echo on phones

However the Apple diagnostics says no issue

so Apple can not provide a fix or replacement

kudos to wonderful applet

@goral123 - I have had the very same issues. Upgraded my entire family of four to iP11’s and we cannot talk on speakers. The echoes are unbearable. Tried same steps with case, etc. and nothing seems to help. I will try the airplane mode solution until someone from Apple addresses issue! This problem makes one of the most used functions of the iPhone I useable!!!

Reading this thread leads me to believe that the main problem is one of sound conduction and less one of sound transmission. Apple needs to widen the wave inversion algorithm to search for an inverted wave injection point at both a delayed interval as well as possible first reflected harmonic. Though better handled in hardware this can be done in software at the expense of cpu and a brief potential slight initial echo. A trivial PID algorithm should converge during the first call. The advice of one theoretical physicist turned machine/deep learning experimentalist.

I think we all need to keep talking about it and asking Apple “Care” to address this design flaw. The louder we are, the more likely they are to do something about it. I’m sure the fix would affect Apple’s precious bottoms line so there is no incentive to fix it until public pressure changes that.

Bastards, it won't help. I tired this 3 times. I tried to change my operator SIM card and also I try other operator SIM card. Problem still exist. I'm going to Apple Authorized Reseller and I'll show them this problem.

I was considering upgrading my business phone from the 6 to the 11 as well. I have an 8 for personal use, and I love it! No issues whatsoever. If you are wanting to upgrade but want to avoid these issues, check out the 8.

I am having the same problem. Its worse when someone else has me on speaker phone or bluetooth headphones and particularly bad when they are on another iphone 11. But I can also hear the echo all the time (just very faint) even when no one is using speaker phone or a bluetooth device.
