Iphone 15 Pro IOS 17.0.3 Microphone Issues I bought my 256GB iPhone 15 pro within the past month and recently my microphone has quit working. The apps of FaceTime, Phone and Snapchat all make my microphone sound like it is in a wind tunnel. I am rather frustrated as this is a brand new phone and I have never had an issue such as this with an apple product. I have removed my screen protector and case and the issue persists. Please help save my 1100$ investment and help it to perform the most bare minimum tasks asked of a modern smartphone.

se 3rd gen microphone issue i have an se 3rd generation version ios 26.3.1 but the problem has been happening prior to and after updating. my phone microphone works when i'm filming a video on the camera app but any other app i've tried, the mic just has a soft crackling noise. this happens during phone calls, voice messages/calls on social media and in the voice memo app. i've made sure there's nothing blocking the mic, tried restarting the phone and updating it, as well as making sure mic permissions are enabled with no luck. is there anything i haven't tried or should i take it in to get it looked at?
