Yes that is a concern now ...
[Problem Solved]
Dear all!
If you are having the same problem as disscussed above, please find a professional iPhone repair store and ask them to check the audio IC, it’s a tiny little chip on the mother board.
I got my iPhone 7 Plus audio IC replaced today for ¥400 (around US$60), and the problem is solved! All phone functions back to normal, phone calls normal, voice memo working, etc.
Tips: If your phone is still under warranty, please search help from Apple Store. If not, get the audio IC checked, and most likely it will work for you as well.
Again, this is not a software problem, it’s the hardware issue, another new update won’t fix it!
My daughter's phone is the iphone 7plus and it is doing the exact same thing. We have gotten no help from verizon.
Try cleaning out link etc from the headphone lightning port and restart the phone. Work for me after a couple days of frustration.
I too now have this problem. I’m guessing they won’t fix it bc either way, they get our money. This is frustrating.
This is a known hardware issue in IP7 and IP7+ units. There is an ongoing class lawsuit for this case.... let’s wait and see what is Apple’s course of action....
Is anyone having this problem again with 13.3? Phone worked yesterday and today I can’t hear on calls, they can’t hear me, Siri doesn’t hear me, and the speaker is grayed out on calls.
Hey i am having the exact same issue with 11.3 update, i have tried a restore and a clean install of the os but nothing has fixed it so far.
I’m having the same audio issue like everyone else . When will this be fixed ? It’s clearly something on Apple’s end .
