iPhone 7 screen creaking issue

Hello, I have had the same exact issue with my rose gold iPhone 7 plus! I had the phone for only 3 days and knew of the issue. I was terribly afraid that my 7 plus would do it, and sure enough it did the same thing. I was vivid that my brand new phone did this. The next day I took my phone back to Verizon, where I got the phone, and they tried telling me that they "don't see the issue affecting the use of the phone" well my issue here is that I just got the phone and it's built poorly. They also said to me that it's because I'm "bending the phone" so I guess barely flexing the phone is bending it?! Yeah no. So Verizon takes out two brand new iPhone 7 pluses, one in black and one in rose gold, they both made the clicking noise even worse then my phone did. I'm not sure why, but it seems to be the whole iPhone 7 plus product that has this issue because my friend just got the 7 plus and her phone does it too, and my other friend got the jet black 7 plus his did it too. I've even tried it on the iPhone 7 pluses on display in the stores, and they did the same thing. I find this absolutely unbelievable, and would hope that apple here's this issue. I eventually returned my iPhone 7 plus and went down to the regular 7 which I'm having even more issues with this phone! I really wish apple would build a phone that has no issues with it, I'm getting really sick and tired of these expensive phones having manufacturers defects it's getting old apple needs to get it right!!

Ich habe das gleiche Problem. Insgesamt 8 iPhone 7 Plus habe ich bis jetzt gekauft und wieder zurückgegeben. Alle Geräte haben dieses Knack-Geräusch, wenn man das Gehäuse nur leicht drückt.

Apple sagt immer wieder: Problem ist nicht bekannt. Ich habe jedoch bei Apple bereits mehrmals davon berichtet. Man empfahl mir, einfach weitere Geräte zu bestellen - bis eins dabei ist, das OK ist.

Weiß jemand, ob es bereits Überarbeitungen in der laufenden Produktion gegeben hat?

Mine is also doing this weird sounds especially when I try to exchange my phone case or moving it around , makes a sounds as If the screen is about to snap or something .... agh does this mean it will not be "splash proof?"

I am from romania and i also have a jet black 7 plus. I went in 2 mobile phone shops till now and all the jet black 7 pluses, when flexed a little bit made that creak sound. I don't think it is the screen moving but something inside the phone... i looked at the screen while flexing with a flashlight to see if it was moving and it did not move.

i am in the exact same situation. i don't think it's the screen but something inside the phone. try flexing it and hold your finger on the back of the phone and you will feel like is something close to the back case of the phone. it's very weird anyway...

as long as you don't do it over and over again to wear the screws it should be ok... as far as i know the removal of screws and putting the back in does not void the warranty, just lifting the screen and breaking the water resistant seal does. Again, i'm not 100% sure about this.

For what it's worth, I have this same issue with my matte black 7 plus (32GB/Sprint)

I also had this issue with my iPhone 6. With my iPhone 6, I took it to my local Apple Store, and they replaced the screen for me (free, as at that time, it was within the 1 year warranty period) which fixed the problem initially. Within a month or so though, the screen creaking sound came back. I learned to live with it as it didn't affect my day to day use of the phone.

Now that my 7 plus is doing this, I am a little disheartened--but I think it's a matter of tolerances and problems associated with mass producing a device.

Remember, there's still a solid gasket under the screen and strong adhesive which ensures water and dust resistance.

For the record, the noise is MUCH less noticeable/audible on my 7 plus compared to my old 6.

I have the same issue on my red 256 GB plus.

Apple should follow up with this issue. We all have no piece of mind when this will affect our 1000$ plus phones. Very Disappointed.

I even had a fight at apple store in march with my Matt black one which is used by my son with the issue.

I have the same issue on my red 256 GB plus.

It's me again and since no one cares to reply or provide feedback I am selling this garbage and moving to android. Have fun here at apple. I will be moving my kids and wife iPhone as well

I have exactly the same issue with creaking 7 plus. I've been at Apple Store and they said it's completely normal. What I don't understand is how can it be normal for a $1k product to have that poor assembly. The guy told me some ******** about adhesive but hey, doesn't other iPhones have adhesive? Doesn't iPads with much bigger screens have adhesive too? I still have time to return this iPhone but I want to try another Apple Store to replace it first.

Just wondering how common this issue?
