iPhone 8: crackling static noise during calls

It’s intermittent - on some calls you can perfectly notice it on others no problem. I have already tried resetting the phone with no success on solving the problem. I’m dealing with the issue since Friday. Very disappointed!

Does anyone has the same problem or knows how to fix it ?

Apple has confirmed in a statement to The Verge that an upcoming iOS update will fix an annoying software bug affecting some iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 owners who have reported hearing intermittent crackling sounds or static noise during both cellular and FaceTime calls.

An Apple spokesperson told the publication.

We are aware of the issue which is affecting customers in a small number of cases. Our team is at work on a fix, which will be included in an upcoming software release.

It wouldn't be the first time that Apple was faced with returns. They know how to handle it.


But Apple has already said it is a problem with a small number of iPhones and will be fixed with a software update. They have the returned units they collected and have been able to disassemble and test them with new software. Somewhere here has already said that the update worked.


What evidence do you have that this is not correct?
