We made headline financial news:

It does seem related to the antenna's, I think: whenever I'm experiencing static, I can make it stop (or become far less) by changing the position of my fingers on the antennaband. You hear some kind of click and the the sound becomes more clear, as if it's switching between the antennas.

Humor me: which hand do you guys hold the phone when calling?

I use left.

And as stated above, please report the issue using (maybe point them to the clips below):

Or if you go to a genius appointment, take a recording of the static (mp3):

Or point to this video (same mp3, as video):

I've got static on my new 4gs. They sent me out a new one in an AppleCare box. A customer care representative said it was a reassembled one from good parts. This is clearly not something I want, especially when I paid nearly $500 for the XXXX phone.

It ***** they're not recognizing the problem and doing something about it.

I'm using left hand, problems with static, seems to (most of the time) when I'm moving my hand placement I can make the static ande echo come and go away. But I've returned my phone(s), I can't wait for an update or a replacement phone (if there ever will come such a thing). Sorry to say because it's a great phone otherwise but I need a phone that I can make calls with...

Same problem in France 😟

Same issue in South Korea. My carrier is KT(olleh) and this buzzing sound is so annoying. It buzzes everytime I use 3G.

Same problem here. Buzzing/static (during data transfer/calls over 3G?).

iPhone 4S, 64GB, Sweden.

Having the same problem here.

iPhone 4S, 32GB, Black, France.

I got a new iPhone 4S this week, still has static in call..

Only way to call without static, turn off Edge/3G..

Somebody have a 4 S without static ???

How do you turn off 3G on the 4S?

It's no longer in the menu...?

I turn off cellular data, and use only wifi when i make a call.

I start to regret my iPhone 4..

The static / echo buzz is must more inside then outside my house. It look likes the 4s is more sensitive for other wireless signals. Anyone mention this too?

good observation, it seems to happen more while I am indoor at home!

actually, the noise is still there even when not making any calls!

Just a normal sleeping iphone also gives me this static noise when I put it close to my ear!

same in germany. really annoying!!

Same problem here, only intermittent, and seems related to the proximity sensor as only starts when the phones upto my ear... dont even have to be making a call.

Loathed to take it back for a replacement as it seems they all have it? what do people think?

Same problem in my iPhone 4s 32GB white bought from an Applestore in Spain.

Apple must do something! Preferably in the following order:

1º Acknowledge the issue

2º Try a software related solution

3º Try a hardware related solution.
