Sep 27, 2016 5:38 PM in response to hpatel123by Michael Black,Done what about what? My iPhone 7 sounds just fine - clear as a pin drop (to use an old ad slogan).
And why is every little unsubstantiated problem a "gate" now? It's just silly, not to say insulting to truly serious past issues like Watergate. Do you have any real data on how prevalent the speaker hiss issue is? Is it 1%, 10%, 0.1% or what of all sold iPhone 7's?

Sep 27, 2016 10:07 PM in response to Michael Blackby hpatel123,It's not a speaker hissing, when you're using your phone for a while it starts to heat up and you hear a sound towards the top of the phone near the apple logo. And as far as data goes, Apple hasn't published manufacturing plant info so I can't tell where they get their parts from and what factories are sending defective. When Samsung's phones blew up they didn't ask the public what factories batteries are defective, they tested them and figured it out themselves. And good for you that your iPhone 7 sounds fine but i purchased 8 new iPhone 7 and 7 plus models and all of them have this problem when I ran a restore from backup. the back heated up and it started to hiss.

Sep 28, 2016 4:23 AM in response to hpatel123by Michael Black,If you feel they are faulty, take them back. If purchased from Apple you have a 14 day unconditional return period for refund or exchange. Apple has said nothing so if this is systematic to the 7 or a manufacturing defect, there is no word on that at all and certainly nobody in these user forums will have any knowledge about it.
Certainly there seem plenty of happy iPhone 7 users around, so it certainly is not all iPhone 7's that are affected.
And I'd hardly hold up Samsung as a pillar of good intent. They only actively did anything about their recent defective products when the CPSC and Federal government threatened to take their own action if Samsung didn't step up. All those press statements about "working with the CPSC" to come up with the recall solution is just double speak for Samsung having been told "fix your mess, or we'll fix it for you". Prior to that, they had been denying there even was a problem, despite the nearly blatant evidence that was a lie.
