Apple today said that it is working on a fix for iPhone 8 users experiencing crackling sounds from their device’s earpiece. Since the iPhone 8 was released last week, some users have reported a “static” and “crackling sound,” but that shouldn’t be the case for much longer…
In a statement to The Verge, Apple says the issue affects a “small number” users and noted that it is working on a fix for the issue that will be included in an upcoming iOS release.
The issue has been somewhat perplexing for iPhone 8 users as it doesn’t occur during every call, nor does it occur when the device is in speaker mode. A user on Apple’s support forums describes it like this:
Here’s another user describing the same problem:
Apple this morning released iOS 11.0.1 to the public, but that update seemingly doesn’t include a fix for this issue. The company hasn’t offered a timetable for when the update correcting this problem will be released.
