The iPhone 15s continue to accumulate defects. After overheating, the speakers crackle, all models combined. Replacing the mobile with another does not change the problem.
Will you correct a small defect on your iPhone 15? No ? Too bad, because there’s a new one. After the numerous overheating problems that Apple has finally acknowledged, several users are reporting an annoying problem on smartphones fresh out of the box. It touches the speakers of the mobile and makes them sizzle in several situations. According to the various testimonies, all models are affectedfrom the standard iPhone 15 to the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
On the community social network Redditone user writes: “My iPhone 15 Pro Max arrived on launch day, and right out of the box, calls at full volume vibrate the speaker and sound like there’s liquid in it. interior, same for music at more than 80% [de volume]”. Another specifies that “based on [ses] experiences, audio appears to skip or crackle in specific videos or certain frequency ranges”.
iPhone 15 speakers crackle for several people
Milesabovetech is a TikToker affected by the phenomenon. He has a iPhone 15 Pro Max that Apple has agreed to replace twice free of charge, recognizing that there was indeed a defect. Other people were also entitled to a new model, but this did not at all resolve the problem which quickly appeared again. The fact that even a new copy is affected suggests a software origin. However, we should not rule out the idea that first batches of iPhone 15 have hardware defects.
Apple has yet to make an official announcement regarding the reports of faulty speakers. It is very likely that the brand is already aware of it and is investigating to find out the cause. This is what happened with the overheating. The company also claims to correct it in a future update of iOS 17. In the meantime, there is not much you can do if you too are a victim of crackling on your iPhone 15, apart from wait until a fix is found.
