Hissing sound

[When Man]

Hello,
I have heard that Iphone 7 and Iphone 7 plus have hissing problem, so since I want to buy Iphone 7 Plus I have few questions.
Are all devices affected by this?
Is there any solution, can it be cured with software update?
Thanks

What is a hissing sound?

I am surprised you didn't hear about it. Read this please.

My iPhone 7 does not make any sort of hissing sounds.

Well now that's not even remotely close to true. I had it on my iPhone 7 Plus. Which was directly in line with videos and comments I've seen online on this site and Macrumors.

So basically you are telling me that 90% of iphone 7's don't have a problem and other 10% has?

 

[Tartarus]

Even less than 10%. And believe me, it would have dethroned Samsung's Note 7 fiasco if it was a real problem.
Yes I said it. If Apple had even the slightest issues with their new devices, it would have been front page news, regardless of what else happened around the smartphone world, so to speak.

Mhm, because I am really into buying Iphone 7 Plus and I am only afraid of that problem. All my life I have android so I saw video of Iphone 7 Plus beating S7 edge, so I am ready to make a change... Btw thank you!

Check that thread out. I'm not saying don't get one. But if people on here are telling you that this isn't an actual problem, then they're not giving you the whole story. I had a 7 Plus Matte Black with 256gb. I didn't notice a coil whine but I did notice loud cracking, popping, and static in videos. Which is a pretty well known issue. I ordered another to see if a later batch has this issue fixed, and I'm not supposed to get it until November at this point.

Damn it, now I am not sure should I buy it. So many problems I read about Iphone 7 I don't know anymore...

Oh, hissing sound while recording a video.

Yep I got that on my ip7 when recording without talking

SO decided to stick with Samsung, I will wait for S8 edge, they will probably make it REALLY good because they failed with note 7 so...

It is like if the battery is to close to the mic.
What we hear is the electrical current passing by

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

It's present on my 7 Plus and wife's 7 Plus. But you have to put the back of the phone up to your hear to hear it. Doesn't bother me at all.

I thought it was tinnitus

Worth keeping 'so many problems' in perspective: handful or even hundreds of comments on forums can reflect pretty isolated/limited problems - keep in mind the millions of phones out there with no complaints - those folks remain quiet and happy.

Not buying iPhone due to possible (and possibly limited) hissing a bit like not ordering soup cuz there *might* be a fly in it.

Respect your decision to not buy - enjoy your new Samsung.

From what I've saw on proper reviews most people will never notice it and it's pretty normal.

Thank you for respect, Iphone is very expensive, like very expensive here in my country. Unlocked 7 plus is 1100 euros, I live in Serbia btw. I shall see...
