What Reason did he give ? And which country did you get this replacement done ?
 
Apple stop sell the X in summer. Look for the next generation. i still think this device only was a test, to analyze the market and the costumers.. The issues that this device have, never will be fixed.
 
With this test, they have lost a client that have bought all the iphones. This is the last one. ios 11 is a crap, iPhone X is a crap.
 
i dont buy any smartphone until 2020 and 5G. i have the S8 and the X, and have to resist 3 years at least. The companies have to think that the costumers now dont change their smartphones so fast like before. fak them.
 
So I've gone through couple of replacements after the 4th one I hardly have the problem it's barely noticeable on highest volume even on phone calls, for others who are willing to give it a go make sure your new replacement has ios 11.2 or higher out of the box, the three units I've tested were on 11.1.2 however the 4th one was on 11.2 and it's a lot better, not claiming that the crackle has totally gone but is hardly there only on highest volume and it's not bugging me anymore, probably units manufactured on December or above are slightly better "my own assumption from what I've experienced" . Good luck everyone.
 
I had gotten a replacement a few weeks ago for a different issue, and I specifically tested for this by playing music full blast with Spotify, I also tried Siri and there was no buzz. Last night I was on a call and I put it on speaker phone and turned up the volume.. Man the buzz was bad. I thought ok, maybe it's just the connection, so I tried a couple more test calls on speaker phone and it buzzed. Fired up a game and wow it buzzed, tried google assistant and her voice buzzed too. I also noticed at full volume the output of the cases where it was buzzing was higher. Like the game seemed a lot louder than playing music on Spotify, or the Google assistant's voice was louder than Siri's so maybe they did tweak it a bit on the software side but it doesn't seem like it was an across the board change. As others mentioned, it's probably hardware and they are just trying to conceal it through SW and EQ settings, lowering the max volume output. Well looks like I'm going in for another replacement. This is like the 4th or 5th one I've had (all different issues, from one that completely just died, to one that had a super loose mute button)
 
it is the worst iPhone ever made. This issues on a 1000 dollars cellphone are unacepptable. 2 months after launch, apple dont say nothing about this. They said that the screen freeze will be fixed by a update, but this issue havent a easy solution, seems, so.. change your unit until you get a "good iPhone", or recover your money and wait next gen. If you buy on amazon.. you dont have any problem you return the buy and get your money back.
 
FINALLY got to the Apple store, phone was replaced, and not only have all the other issues disappeared, I have no crackling , clipping, muffled, buzzing speakers on anything to do with sound anymore! Hurrah, I spent 5 hours testing this out, for now at least mine is totally fine!
