iPhone 8 Plus Sound Distortion

Yes, confirmed so again i think its a software issue, happens to my iPhone 8 Plus, my brother’s iPhone X and my sister iPhone 8 Plus so I would think its a software issue

you don’t need a replacement, its clearly a software issue, Apple should fix this in updates.

No. Bc I went to the aple store they ran the diagnostics and everything came out to be good.

Same I'm running 11.0.3 and I'm experiencing the poping every where not just when I make calls it in the audio it self when I'm listening to music and doing things the audio cuts out and I hear poping

This problem is happening on my almost brand new iPad Pro with iOS 11.0.3 with a proper 3.5mm plug headphone. There is background music playing but dialogues from movies are lost and lyrics from songs are lost too. Music can sound very tinny as well.

Tried a few other headphones, same issue, I noticed if I stick my headphone in not all the way, i can start to hear people talk again in movies. But the headphone can’t go all the way in, part way only and you need to hold the headphone part in a certain position to hear things properly.

i think there is a software glitch that’s sending signals down the wrong paths.

Hi, with regards to my reply before yours, I was wrong. I'm still experiencing the popping sound 😟 I hope Apple hears us out and looks into this. Maybe since not a lot are speaking up about it, they won't cater to it. But hopefully i'm wrong. I hope this isnt a hardware defect. 😟

I’m having a annoying problem my iPhone 8 Plus is having a popping sound from my speakers wen playing music on Spotify and on fb messenger but if I put the phone on silent it doesn’t do it it’s so strainge it looks like these updates haven’t actually made one to fix this issue but I really hope they bring one soon

My thoughts exactly.

So, after having three brand new iPhone 8 Plus handsets, I once again went to Apple store, got a refund and purchased the new iPhone X. Guess what - same problem. Not as pronounced as the 8 Plus but still there nevertheless!

I give in!

I also give up... Trading for a Samsung Note 8 is next move... I got tired of Apples games.. When i pay "much" i demand also MUCH... You hear Tim Cook?! Got tired of your overpriced iShit devices.. Back in 2016 I gave back 2 iPhones 7 plus (one had dust inside camera lenses and one had yellowish tint screen.. Search anyone for this both issues do exist) to finally get a 3d device which was ok.. I was almost happy until ios 10.3.3 but this was the end of ios.. now only glitches and faults for such a closed OS i can't imagine how you achieve that ... Payed 979 Euros to get a mobile popcorn sound machine the iPop 8 Plus...

I was feeling optimistic after a call with Apple Support saying that I can have my phone checked at a local Apple distributing store here in Manila, Philippines, but after having my creeping thoughts confirmed here I can tell it's going to be quite useless. I really hope Apple hears us out. Yes we're few who spoke out on the issue but that shouldn't mean they should shut us out... I've been getting my hopes down after 3 updates, none of the changelogs say that this issue was fixed so why are they doing this to us... Spent so much on a phone and honestly it's the fastest I've used, but this just devalues the product and makes me wish I saved my money on something else..

Haha I like that iPop 8 Plus! I agree its an expensive piece of kit and we should be presented with perfection!

I still love Apple, the iPhone X is beautiful, I really like it and I hope that a software update is realised that will fix this. People are complaining so lets hope they listen!

I also have this problem since I got 8 Plus with iOS 11.0.2. I mainly experience this when I listen to music and try to multitask, for instance chatting in Messenger, use Twitter and so on. It's really annoying. I was hopping that bigger release like iOS 11.1 or 11.2 would finally solve this thing, but the bug still occurs, otherwise the phone is great but this really basic problem bugs me very much. Apple please look at this!

They don’t even respond... seriously if they don’t respond in the next days about plans on a fix for this or inform as properly if this is a hardware defect or if it’s a software issue.... I will open a “caution-warning” thread not to buy or double triple think before buying Apple stuff, to all major forums worldwide as I already did in my country.. because I call this “disrespect” from Apples side..
