iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Users Report Static Speaker Noise While Charging

[rishey]

I haven't noticed this issue so far but I will try to get annoyed by it and then obsess over it. Thanks for the heads up.

Same on my previous 14 pro and on the 17 pro. Not just a 17 issue. Can hear the noise from speaker area and camera cutout/plateau

 

[Spongmincer]

Mine is fine. Thank you.

Do not forget: None of previous iPhones or competition with Ultra charging make these concerning noises.

Not sure what devices had ultra charging. Maybe usbc and later?
But, my 14 pro made the same noises.

I’d think a multi cam setup is more likely to have external storage connected than power.

You can have both by using (for example) a mobile rig with a USB-C hub.

We pulled out a iPhone 14 Pro unit and it does not have it. The static noise coming out of the 17 is unheard of.

Was on our other 14 pro max as well. Not crazy as loud as video but not sure how that recorded or amplified. Tried to record with other devices but really couldn’t capture. 14 pro and max did it from bottom and from camera cutout. When camera app open not plugged in. 17 pro same.

sure I hear it too a little bit, but it's lower compared to what it's doing when it's above 80%

The point is that above 80% isn’t required, as you originally stated.

No problems here at all. Blue 17 Pro Max.

Wonder if people with phones of all colors are experiencing this equally.

Finally. Justice!

Every. Unit. Has. It.

The noise levels depending on the charging state, charging level, at the moment workload and whether it is wireless or wired.

We have ordered 20 units and all had it. It is emitted from the bottom speaker.

People who say they do not have it, might be in optimal circumstances or have bad hearing.

Because most media do not dare to call out Apple for this. Apple has been responding to complaints with 'its normal'.

None of the previous iPhones made these noises, not the competition.

Apple promotes this device as a pro video recording device. However if you connect the camera to a powerbank and start filming, the white noises is recorded within videos. Making all videos USELESS.

Even CNET noticed: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/so...might-have-a-speaker-issue-and-weve-heard-it/

@MacRumors now write about the micro scratches and dents that come with ALL Macbook Pro units.

thats what i would usually say but mine really doesnt do it 17 pm since day 1 all good

I don’t experience this with my 17 pro max 512 gb in blue, not that the color or memory capacity matters…lol. I have really really good hearing.

17 Pro here. No static.

 

[hagjohn]

you need to play a song and set volume to zero

Still do not hear any static.

I had never heard of this issue until this article and listened carefully to my 17 Pro Max when I plugged it in.

It does, indeed, make weird static noises from the speaker after being plugged in... They are not constant, but they are definitely there. I'll have to check my husband's phone tonight.

 

[CATiNTHESTORE]

This is a new feature with the new manufacturing

 

[sleeptodream]

Too many cycles haha

81 on a Pro Max is impressive so soon honestly. I just hit 90 today on my Air, and I feel like I’m on it constantly ha

Had this since launch too, haven’t swapped unit as I have apple care and all I’ve seen who have only end up having it on the replacement
