Front microphone not working

You are not alone!

Since upgrading to iOS 12.0.1 from 11.4.1

Dictation only works via bluetooth and headphones with mic

Siri, pushing the home button, only works via bluetooth and headphones with mic

"Hey Siri" does not work. Also, after turning it off and trying to turn it back on, Siri no longer hears me to set it up

Front camera records video without sound unless headphones with mic are used.

Rear camera is okay

Phone calls are okay

Voice memo is okay

Tried:

Resetting network settings - no fix

Disconnecting bluetooth and reconnecting - no fix

Restoring as a new iPhone - no fix

Restoring backup - no fix

Apple says I should take my iPhone in. All evidence would say this is a hardware issue. But it happened after I upgraded to 12.0.1. All was fine morning before I upgraded.

Been there, done that. The hardware issue they claim it to be is that the logic board has a problem. >$300 to fix the issue for a iPhone 7. Hopefully we will get an official answer from Apple soon regarding this issue.
