Fortunately, Apple not too long ago addressed the overheating difficulty impacting the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. Apple rolled out a software program replace for iOS 17 this week, and better of all, it didn’t even have to throttle the efficiency of that A17 Professional chip.
However there is perhaps one other difficulty Apple wants to repair: The speaker. Some customers have complained on social media about speaker noises that seem when enjoying sound at louder ranges. A TikTok person revealed they took the iPhone 15 Professional Max to Apple for substitute. The corporate acknowledged the sound difficulty, changing it twice. The difficulty appears to persist.
iPhone 15 house owners have observed the problem when enjoying sound (together with movies and calls) with the amount set at over 80%. They describe it as a crackling or rattling sound or as if there’s water contained in the speaker. The issue seems to affect the highest speaker primarily.
In a video, TikTok person MilesAboveTech defined that Apple acknowledged the problem and changed his iPhone 15 Professional Max twice. However all three items ended up manifesting the identical speaker signs.
Furthermore, he went to an Apple retailer to attempt numerous iPhone 15 fashions and located that each one 4 variations may exhibit the identical sound points.
It’s unclear how widespread the issue is. Miles is simply one of many iPhone 15 patrons who’ve detailed the sound drawback on-line. Additionally, it appears like Apple is confirming the problems by swapping out the faulty telephones. That’s one factor to contemplate if the crackling sounds trouble you. But it surely additionally appears like substitute items include the identical sound drawback.
A greater thought is perhaps ready for Apple to deal with the matter publicly. It might be {that a} software program difficulty fixes the speaker issues on all iPhone 15 telephones. You received’t need to return the handset if that’s the case.
If it’s a {hardware} difficulty and speaker parts are responsible, Apple will seemingly repair the issue on the manufacturing degree. Which means future iPhone 15 fashions won’t undergo from the identical difficulty. And that would be the time to trade your iPhone 15 for a substitute.
I’m solely speculating, as I can not know what causes the sound points or how Apple will repair this drawback. I’m nonetheless utilizing an iPhone 14 Professional, and I don’t plan on upgrading to the brand new iPhone. Additionally, I haven’t encountered sound points since shopping for it final 12 months.
Contemplating that Apple has already confirmed the overheating points for the iPhone 15 Professional fashions, I’d count on the corporate to additionally handle the sound issues within the close to future. That’s if the speaker difficulty is as widespread.
