"Thanks TheLittles! I’ve restarted twice. Still not working. I used the voice memo to test, only noises can be heard."

"Hi theLittles, I went to the genius bar and ran the test which showed the microphone has the issue indeed. I’ve used this iPhone 8 for more than 4 years, maybe it’s time to say goodbye. Thank you again.”

Notes on Upgrading:

If upgrading, get one that suits your needs (i.e. having enough storage). Just know that it will take a few extra weeks just to get a phone in the mail. This is due to COVID-19, which is making Supply & Demand spike high, as of the date of this reply.
