Loud crackling noise then iPhone 12 shut off

I was scrolling through tiktok at a low volume when my phone randomly made a loud cracking sound and then shut off. It almost sounded like an electrical short. Phone rebooted on its own and seems fine. Very strange for a brand new Apple iPhone 12....

iPhone 12, iOS 14

I also faced this issue ! I already claim warranty and the Apple Authorities Service Centre said that they already change a new Rear System for me. I just get the phone yesterday (17/06/2021). But the problem still there, I play a video games then suddenly an electric sound come out then the screen become black again, the phone restart back after few second lol… Who already solve this issue? Can you please contact me?

I had paused mini motorways in arcade and then my phone had pink dots that where streaking across it in a random pattern but all of them where traveling from top right to bottom left in landscape mode. But they where different sizes! Then it made the crackling noise and the entire screen turned pink. Then it rebooted and seems fine! Does anyone have any idea yet! Is it an app or software on the phone or hardware?!?

This just happened to me literally 5 mins ago. I was watching a video on Facebook and suddenly this crack noise twice and the screen went black and the phone shut down. What the actual..? I was scared and thought I lost my phone forever… but I tried to switch it on and it worked.

i m actually worried now. Apple needs to give us some informations about this. This is not normal at all… for the price we have to pay for a brand new apple phone.
