Audio cuts out during FaceTime

I have an iPhone 11 pro and since buying this in January I have had the worst time making FaceTime calls - the person on the other end seems to be unable to hear everything I am saying and it just keeps cutting out. I thought maybe it was just my phone and hoped to be able to take it to an apple store to get it fixed, however, I have now been experiencing the issue from other iPhone 11/11 pro owners. I have spoken to the support team who have said it is just the microphone. Is anyone else experiencing this issue, and has anyone been able to fix it?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

It's the case! - I bought iPhone 11 Pro February 2020 and FT worked great UNTIL I updated software to 13.4.1 That's when I started having problems with FT voice drop out and noise in background muting audio. Long story short, Apple Support said they had no complaints so they replaced my phone after numerous diagnostic testing. After receiving and updating to latest software, same issue with FT. Apple Support replaced phone again and said not to update software. Received phone with IOS 13.2.3, (I did not update software) and FT worked great. In September 2020 I decided to update to IOS 14, problem continued. I took off case (Otterbox Commuter) and FT worked great! I purchased Spigen Thin Fit case and my iPhone 11 Pro FT has been working GREAT!
