iPhone 7 Plus hissing sound

Anonymous
Not applicable

Just tried recording on my 7 Plus which recieved on Thursday and there's a really loud noise when playing back videos recorded on the 7 Plus. 

 

Doesnt happen when listening to my videos recorded with my old 6 on the 7 plus. 

 

Really gutted, been reading about it and seems Apple replace the phone.

 

Booked an appoitment with Apple next week.

Exactly. Apple have acknowledged this can be an issue with some of the iPhone7's. At the price of this device I would want it changed. No question...

No nor me. Certainly as Apple have recognised the problem and are swapping the phones. My question would be...how sure are they that replacement devices aren't 'cursed' with the same issue?

I spoke with someome from Apple today and they said they could hear it and I should bring it in.

 

The noise seems to be coming from the top speaker. 

 

And when a video finishes playing you can hear the hissing noise insisde the phone, it lasts for few secs then goes. 

 

Defintely the top speaker.

Sounds like coil whine on that video Adam,
Microphone has picked it up while components under stress.
It is common but shouldn't happen.
