When my iPhone Xs is at max volume during phone calls I often hear a high pitched “buzzing” or “crackling” sound coming from the earpiece when the person on the other end of the call is talking.
Has anyone else been experiencing this problem?
I am using the developer betas and sending them feedback constantly about the issue.
The most annoying part is that even the default ringtones like “Opening” will crackle a bit at maximum volume from the earpiece.
To replicate the issue even better, go on YouTube and listen some piano music at maximum volume, it will crackle horribly.
Yes, the issue was present on iPhone 8 Plus also and was fixed with a software update and the same could be done on our XS’s if Apple will realize this is a widespread issue.
They just need to tone down a certain frequency and it won’t affect the maximum volume at all.
If enough people will provide feedback to Apple, i’m certain this will be sorted quickly.
Any news of the case? Im still inside the 14 days window to order a replacement (I've already had one replacement and the problem is exactly the same) and I'm not really sure that this is a software problem...
I called apple support today. They don‘t know the Problem. I didn‘t understand that they have no other people who have this Problem.
The next saturday i went to the apple store and hope to make a change to an Xs thats works fine.
Otherwise i took the Xr, that didn‘t have this Problem.
I canged my iphone X two times last year and all the devices hab this f..... problem.
I will went to Apple this Saturday. If the genius Bar couldn‘t solve the Problem i want my money back.
That is very terrible for such an expensive phone.
Update from my side. I have just updated to iOS 12.1.1 which has been released yesterday. Unfortunateley, the update did not resolve the buzzing earpiece problem. I am very disappointed, will contact Apple support again.
What is your experience? Any news?
Got similar issue on my XS as well
I have it for three weeks now and I noticed earpiece buzzing just yesterday. I usually use my earbuds or handsfree set In my car so I could missed the moment the buzzing actually appeared during phone calls. But for sure everything was fine one week ago. I tried today balancing stereo channel to left one which is actually an earpeace speaker. Sound is awfully buzzing and not suitble for over 1000$ phone.
We don’t have oficial Apple Store In my country, Only Premium resselers. I’m afraid they will send my XS to be repaird In certified service and I’m not comfortable with that at All.
I don’t think it’s a software issue In my case. Before updating to 12.1.1 everything was ok. But I can’t tell if the buzzing is related to the update.
I see you guys have the speaker issue almost out of the box, so the case seems a bit different since mine revealed itself after over two weeks of use. Anyone had a similar experience as I did?
I’ve been Waiting very long to upgrade from my trusty iPhone SE and after over two weeks of perfect experience with XS All the magic disappeared.
Any updates on this topic guys?
This has happened numerous times to my phone as well. Is there a dedicated team from apple that has actually looked into this issue? I’m curious as to what next steps they’re applying to rectify the issue since it’s not only affecting a “small” amount of customers. Such a bummer!
This is the last apple device ill buy
a premium company like apple that ignore thousands of complaints about rattling speakers on earpiece on voice calls which is the most important thing on a phone should be ashamed !!!
DONT buy the XS phones!
Same here. Good to not be alone. ☺️ Already got my XS changed but the problem still exists. I opened a case again at apple to keep them aware but didn’t plan further action yet. I’m attentively following this discussion here and hope to get any official statement from apple soon.
I experience the same speaker jarring issue on my Xs over voice calls . have been going through this thread and understood that replacement is not a solution.
writing it here so that atleast apple responds and come up with a fix .

Hi, mine keeps doing this too? However it sounds more like an old phone ringing while I’m on the call. I’m not sure why this keeps occurring.. the noise is very annoying, yet creepy and sometimes can be extremely loud to the person on the other end. Why does this keep happening?
Hi guys
i have this problem with the rattling/buzzing earpiece during phone calls
all of you had the same problem
anyone succeed solving it or exchanging to another xs model that worked better?? Please replay
im lost here ,changed 3 phones and it didnt help
maybe its old batch of damaged phones
what do you think guys!?
Having the same issue myself. Constant cracking and popping when the other person speaks, its the most irritating thing ever, can't understand what is being said.
I noticed however that it happens only when I initiate the call and not when I receive the call. Is that the same for you?
Apple please fix this !!!
It happens on all calls. All the time
got nothing to do with recieving or making calls
something is wrong here guys. On all iphone xs and apple is not going to take care of it
its been over 3 months since launch. No fix.
apple does not care as you can see this is issue not widely spread. The worst part is that they refuse to help. I had 5 times in the service, still only blew off the speaker, what helped in system sounds for approx one month but during calls it is still sh.t. 2 times they admit the fault. Now waiting for 3rd and get my money back- for that amount i can buy two phones same quality with another customer service...wonder why are people admiring these phones..maybe in the past. Not nowadays.
Oh, didn't know that, yes piano music does seems to reproduce the issue. I generally don't know what to do. I hope they fix it but by the time its been around,i don't think they are gonna fix it at all.
