iPhone 11 Pro Crackling sound on iPhone 11 Pro while on a call....

Is anyone else experiencing crackling sound on the iPhone 11 Pro while on a call?

Not on my Pro Max. Is it just the ear speaker or what happens when you are external speaker? Could be a connection issue unrelated to the iPhone.
Usually when I get that it’s a bad location or the other persons phone.

It's the bluetooth headphone. I haven't tried the earpiece yet. No issues with the iPhone speaker

I had this when I took a call over CarPlay the other day. I’ve not taken a call since so not sure if it’s still an issue...

I just tested the earpiece - no issue that I observed. I wonder if there's an issue with bluetooth or the pairing with Powerbeats 3. Need to reset the Powerbeats.

iPhone call quality (on all iPhones since the very first one) has always been garbage. The iPhone 11 carries the torch - there's no end in sight. Apple is more interested in tweaking the camera every year than fixing a 10 year old problem

Several blogs and websites are reporting bluetooth issues with iOS 13. One of the symptoms is crackling audio. I'm noticing brief audio dropouts and crackling sounds with AirPods and Powerbeats 3. Let's hope iOS 13.1 resolves this issue along with others like FaceID latency issues.
