Q: Static in Iphone 4s

5.0.1 has no effect on issue

anyone actually get a phone from apple that didn't have this static I am tempted to just go back to apple store for 3rd phone, but don't want to waste my time arguing with them if there will be no change.

let's all report  this to apple feedback. mass email them.

3rd one and the problem is still there. Don't bother yourself...

This can't be all phones otherwise there would be more complaints and this issue would be posted on all Mac sites. I will try a third time if the static is still there or just as bad on the new one I will wait for a while before going back. My friends has static but it's not nearly as bad as mine.

Friend has a white, AT&T 16 Gig that doesn't have the static, and it's given me hope. Gonna try another swap tomorrow.

O2 have finally swopped mine after making me go through sim

changes/restore etc. They deny any problem. Poor quality audio, white noise and echoing were the faults. Received replacement even updated to 5.0.1 and guess what this one is echoing and still suffering white noise on calls. Ridiculous, I can't believe it isn't being acknowledged

see iphone 4S video recording where you can hear the sound.

Same problem in Houston. It almost sounds like the earpiece speaker in the top of the phone is blown. It started after one week of use. My wife's 4S is fine - both were purchased at the same time. ***????

I don't think the color has anything to do with it (Mine is black). I've worked with audio equipment for years and I swear it sounds like the little speaker is blown. Is that possible?

its not the speaker 100%

I've heard the noise on every phone I've had, and I'm now on my 4th.  Each one was new out of the box so, at least for me, they're not recycling someone else's returned phone.  I'll continue to return and exchange every two weeks until the issue is fixed.

haha, I got my third phone today, still has static, maybe not as loud though. I had a real hard time exchanging this one, maybe its a Canada thing but they need to be able to replicate it at store, They did by recording a video in the apple bathroom but still didn't want to give me a new one. They were like, what if the new one had it. I said I would just have to deal since this is clearly a hardware issue and all phones have it.

So I did a factory restore before I went to my Genius appointment, and now the static is gone. Surely that can't be forever, can it? Please?

Annnnnnnnd it's back. %€+@!!!!!
