My apologies once they started using the image stabilization features is when it’s most prominent
Yes they do, it’s the camera modules, you want ois? Means there has to be a bit of moving parts
Well mine doesn't rattle at all on my 8 Plus. I don't hear anything when I shake my phone (I don't intentionally do this but had to test it). Therefore not All of them do this.
Not when shaking the phone, but if you tap on the glass in the bottom and work your way up to the top you can hear the difference very clearly
my 8 plus is absolutely flawless but since there are reports of the screen literally coming unglued, i wouldn't be surprised if there is slack in a lot of phones.
Lithium ion batteries always have a small percentage of failure, the nature of the battery. Really not too worried
Even if I slightly tap on the phone anywhere I don't hear this rattling noise.
This is a common issue going back to the 5. Many threads on this topic going back years.

Mines still there, don’t really notice it anymore. Never clicks during normal usage, just when I look for it lol
Just sharing...
The camera ‘rattle’ has been there since at least the 5 and is, as far as I know, part of the camera element and normal. I am guessing people may be hearing this on non-Plus versions.
The screen click (thread title) is different. I didn’t have it on my 1st 8 Plus but it is there on my 2nd.
Basically,
If you hold the phone with 2 thumbs on the area to the sides of/slightly below the ear mic and press slightly you will possibly hear a quick and high-pitched POP. If you press again immediately you likely do not hear it. It is like something is slightly out and takes a while to come out again once popped in.
It is VERY slight and not an issue IMO. I cannot think of a use-case where this would happen as pressing against your head/ear is not enough localized force from what I can tell.
WTS, I do wonder if this issue, with a speaker being right there.. is related to the speaker clipping/pop I get in-apps. Maybe I should test before/after creating the POP.. to see if related..

I had this issue on my 7 plus, I took it to the Apple Store and they repaired it under warranty.
any luck of DIY fix ?
P.S. is this happeing only on spay grey models or?
Personally got two space gray 8pluses 256 gb and it’s happening on both of them. Wondering is the screen eventually gonna separate enterally from the body of the phone?

Yup, seems to be the normal location for these phones. I don’t even bother anymore, if I stumble into an Apple store I may ask them one day. But it has zero effect on the phone usage.
do you use case? when i put a case on the phone is't almost not clicking at all (but i dont want to use cases so...)
