iPhone 8 plus crackling speaker

When I’m speaking to someone on the new iPhone 8 plus space grey 256gb I get a crackling noise from the top headpiece speaker. If I switch loudspeaker it doesn’t happen. Help?

Same problem. Started a thread about it on macrumors. Worst thing about this issue is that it happens randomly. Perhaps thats why relatively few people are reporting it, they haven’t experienced it yet.

Yeah I’m having cracking with every single YouTube music video etc at the moment on my iPhone 8 Plus.. it’s so irritating and at the cost of the phone it’s shocking to have to endure.. never had this issues with all other Apple models I’ve owned just this 8..

Yeah I’m having the same exact problem. The crackling with every single YouTube music, video etc at the moment on my iPhone 8 Plus too. Its super irritating & annoying. This is my very first iPhone & not at all impressed. I agree at the cost of the phone it’s shocking to have to endure. Apple Need to Fix Fast!

You can also check it.


Play any music. make or open Live photo (hard tap to make photo to alive) several times. is there crackling sound from all speakers? sometimes I have. It is realy annoying. When you listen to music and multitasking sometimes this sound appears.
I have no problem and strange sound while speaking. but with music is another situation


I have iPhone 8 Plus iOS 11.1.2
