iPhone 8: crackling static noise during calls

Very sad!... not to say but my experience is very annoying.

All the sound related problems which I brought by paying a huge amount considering Apple as a brand.

Several chat sessions and phone calls with Apple support without any resolutions, responses etc.

I went Apple authorised service provider,

1st time, they gave me a replacement with some other issues after waiting for a week.

2nd time, they promised me to get replacement or repaired device however not received yet, again a week time.

Don’t know what happened??

Do I need to take certain actions now, may be a legal actions???

How come Apple releases such devices? Is there no QA process before launch it to market?? Several questions …

I’m very disappointed.

Greg, your response is obnoxious at best. The typical Apple Fan-Boy response of "If you are unhappy, then please just go return the phone and get your money$$ back and buy something else!" is cute, but of no help to people. I would love to toss my crackly 8Plus in the garbage and change to a Pixel 2 or Galaxy Note but frankly can't given my tens-of-thousands of dollars of investment in the Apple ecosystem. We have 6 iPads, 4 iPhones and a handful of Macs in our home. I have had every iPhone model sold. I went from my 7Plus, which was brilliant, to 8Plus which seems to be a parcel of bugs & issues. The crackling issue is around the primary reason we carry phones, i.e. making calls.

Get off your high horse and don't post if it's not helpful.

Hi

Return iPhone to seller for checking / replacement.

Cheers

Hi Apple,

I don't own an iPhone 8 yet, because I want you to fixe this problem first.

Thank you

Getting new one doesn't help.

Firmware update doesn't help either.

I’m having the same problem. Apple please fix or not the phone going back. I’m very disapointed quality control is not how it use to be.

#cracklinggate ?

did you inquire with your mobile provider?

There is a long thread on this at MacRumors. It goes across all carriers.

Wonder if it's a software glitch or hardware

Same problem here with me in the UK. Update 11.0.1 made no difference either. Gonna give it till Saturday if not fixed it's going back.

Dear Apple,

I want to buy iPhone 8 Plus but I don't get I until you not resolve this issue!

Apple is not reading here.

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...

This is a user-to-user technical support site. Appel executives are not here. Just bookmark this thread and when people start posting that their problem was solved then you can buy yours.
