Just got my iphone 8 plus 64 GB and it got a crackling sound during calls.

I see previous models have had the same issue. Is this a hardware issue? Reset and manuelt setup don´t fix it.

take it to the apple store.

Hi!

Iam from Germany and i have the same Problem with a black iPhone 8 32 GB. Tried some things like other Networks, resetting the Device and other Things. Apple told me they hope the cause should be the Weather and i thought ***?!?!

At the Moment i think it’s the earpiece which makes this noises under some frequency’s in the Voice of the other Person in the Line. With the Headset no Problems. Such a expensive Device and the Client is Beta Tester.

I noticed the crackling, intermitent crispy noise inside the earpiece of my silver iPhone 8 256 GB since the first day (sept 22), both during audio facetime and cellular calls, randomly, (say half of the calls).

Today, as soon as I noticed the noise during a call I switched on and off the speaker to see if it worked and the noise was gone, not there anymore during that call.

So it seems that the on/off speaker trick actually works, therefore I think that most likely it's a software issue.

Hopefully Apple is aware and can solve it by an iOS 11 update or something.

I have the same issue with my 64 GB iPhone 8. Some calls are fine, others have the crackling, so I don't think it's the speaker. I have also noticed a glitch when opening the camera that may or may not be related. It's just a brief display error, but the software is clearly not acting as intended.

I've had this issue on my iPhone 8 Plus (64GB, AT&T, iOS 11.0). I can confirm that switching the speaker phone on and off fixes it, but that's really not an acceptable procedure to have to do during every phone call. I agree that it must be a software issue. Update 11.0.1 seems to mostly address Microsoft Outlook issues.

Apple, can we get this fixed soon? It's like a hot/dead pixel...but for your ears. It's not debilitating, but it's annoying and should not be a problem on an Apple product.

I had same or similar issue with my iPhone 6 plus. I get intermittent crackling on any bluetooth I pair with my phone only on cellular calls and the noisy static vibrating speaker sound seems to occur when the other person speaks.

This was fixed for a year when Jabra released new firmware but now I replaced the headset with a newer Jabra with even newer firmware and the problem is back. I also get the same miserable noise in AirPods I just bought. In fact I was told to return them and get them replaced which I did and same problem remains.

I am on IOS 11.0.1 and that did not correct the issue. It is clear the problem is in the iPhone and not the headsets, since I tried both a new Jabra and AirPods and both react the same.

Can someone please get this fixed? I don't want to have to buy an iPhone 7 or 8 just to find I have the same problem which it sounds like from all the posts here that the iPhone 8 is doing the same thing.

Apple support has been unable to find a fix. The Genius at the Apple store cannot help either.

My guess is there is some Bluetooth problem in the OS that is causing all bluetooth headsets to vibrate like the speaker in them is broken during calls. Im at a loss at this point. Bluetooth in the car works fine..NO NOISE, static, speakers crackling etc.

Most likely be fixed with an update. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/circuitbreaker/2017 /9/26/16369818/iphone-8-crackling-apple-confirms-fix-coming

But as is new I would return it and hope it does not affect the new one as is not present on all.

Hi

Return to place of purchase for checking / replacement.

I have this problem too. Not enough of a problem to warrant taking it to an Apple store and getting a replacement when it's likely to be a software issue. It's not apparent when playing music.

I also have this problem with i8 Plus 256g ATT. Happens intermittently when on phone calls from ear headset speaker.

This is happening on my verizon 8+ 64GB space gray as well.

I am having this issue too... Present on every call and very annoying. Restart wont help neither did todays firmware update. Happens almost on every call with the phones earpiece...

Hi

Apple are working on a software update for this problem.

Cheers

With the Developer Beta 1 of iOS 11.1 the Problem seems to be fixed.
