It looks like Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is not the only troublesome smartphone. Lately, there have been multiple reports about the audible iPhone 7 hissing sound. Let’s take a look to see what’s going on!

iPhone 7 hissing sound: What’s wrong with the phone?

Only a few days after the official iPhone 7 release, multiple users have reported a weird iPhone 7 hissing sound. One of the first people to declare this issue is 521 Pixels’s Stephen Hackett. According to what he said, the weird sound emitted when he was using iCloud to restore his phone. The thing is this sound didn’t come from the speakers. Instead, it seemingly emitted from the back of his iPhone, where the CPU is located.

Stephen also added that he has used lots of smartphones before and this is the first time he has encountered such issue. He posted this to 512 Pixels, along with a video of how the noise sounds. Surprisingly some viewers, including the former PR representative from Apple, have shared that they encountered the same iPhone 7 hissing sound, especially when their phones are conducting heavy tasks.

Stephen then contacted Apple and their customer service has requested him to get his phone replaced for free at Apple retailers. Unfortunately, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus are currently out of stock and he has to wait for 5 or 7 days until he finally gets a noise-less iPhone. However, the bigger problem here is that, since everyone is still “impressed” by Note 7 explosion, the iPhone 7 replacement may not be a satisfying answer towards iPhone lovers.

iPhone 7 hissing sound: What does Apple answer?

So far, Apple has not made any statements about the weird iPhone 7 hissing sound. Meanwhile, many experts have expected that the sound could come from the new A10 chipset. To look on the bright side, Stephen’s iPhone was still functioning properly while the sound is being produced. So now let’s wait until Apple have investigated the case and come up with an appropriate answer! To know exactly how the noise sounds, check the video below.
