iPhone XS Max Poor quality iPhone XS Max, for Me = RETURN

[ssl0408]

Just unpacked my iPhone XS Max 512... and the case is squeaking. If I gently "twist" it the phone gives me shoe type load squeaky noise. It is really annoying to pay 1500+ for the product and have such a poor quality. I'm going to return it back and be off market this year.

This happened to me last year with an X. I just returned it and bought a new one. This is why I like to wait a month or two before purchasing the new phones.

My iPhone X also squeaks, conspiracy?

My X doesn’t squeak.

I call duck tales
[doublepost=1537581033][/doublepost]did U even take the plastic off?

I’m stupid, of corse, I didn’t remove plastic and I do not take off my pants when I want to poop

Thanks, I think I do the same. I jumped in too early. Once again thanks for your support.

May be I get a replacement. But not now. I’m really tired to pay and get a lemon dvery year. :-( I post a video soon.

Squeekergate?

If the phone has a squeak try placing some oil on it, that should fix the noise.

Stop twisting it

I always laugh at ppl that do stuff like that. Like someone will be like I squeezed my phone really tight and now it doesn’t work. Going back! lol

My family and I have been super lucky I guess. Over the years, we have purchased over 30 Apple devices and only 1 was actually brought back in for repairs. That was my son-in-law’s laptop. And we are super fussy with any type of defects - no matter how minuscule.

Squeekergate?

Nah, twistgate sounds much better lol!

I always wonder whether Apple exec’s receive hand inspected devices from the production lines for all their testing, field testing etc thus issues we see are just not on these special devices.

I also suspect Apple read these forums for defects etc too.

Why on earth would anyone twist a brand new expensive phone?

I just tried to twist mine! Only because of this thread. And just a little to see if it would squeak.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one to do it after reading this.

As long as there is no hair embedded in your screen, not sure what the problem is.

Lol. I remember that post because I posted in it.

My XS max had the same issue and i got mine swapped by Apple Genius without questions asked. They just documented the issue then gave me a brand new replacement. I think you should contact apple to get a replacement.

def not right because the drop test guys tried to bent it and couldn't

 

[kargurin]

When I hug it or squeeze it, it doesn't respond at all. Not a squeak. I expected some love back from all I invested. Heartbroken.

Have you tried whispering softly into it's ear......piece?

 

[predation]

Not even when you’re sliding your finger up and down? Lol

 

[ericgtr12]

You're twisting it wrong.

No I get the same noise with my device and no I’m not squeezing it at all. I can literally grab it and it will make the noise, pick it up to wipe my screen off and it will squeak. Quality isn’t what it use to be these days and playing the lemon game is tiring.

Take it to Apple. You will have no problem getting replaced.

Yeah that’s the plan this evening even though I hate going to the Apple Store. I feel this is pretty audible and you can clearly see something isn’t right.

My X started squeaking a few months ago when I tried it after having read about it here.

Some things are just meant to be left alone... like this subject and if a screen is white or yellow

I don’t think it’s meant just to be left alone because that means you’re just settling for issues and not doing anything about them.

I’m never one to bring up these issues when a new phone is out but if I paid $1300 for a phone I certainly don’t want it to make noises it isn’t supposed to everything I grab or wipe it off.

Of course I can relate to what you are saying.

Main question is if it’s a faulty device or not because making a little squeaking noice... remember phones like SE T68i? They were just as expensive and—wow—they were squeaking A LOT!

I remember trying to complain and the seller told me to put some paper between the battery and the battery cover. It helped a little bit

To test its build quality. Samsung phones don't make an effing sound however you twist them even after years of use.

To the OP, I noticed mine squeaks as well just this morning when I changed case. It never did produce any squeaking noise before. I'm not bothered though cuz it's been a year since I got it and it still is functioning properly and on a positive note, after a year my battery capacity is still at 100%. Disappointing I know for a $2k grand phone that cannot keep its structural integrity intact.
