Weirdness: Put your ear to the Touch ID ring of your iPhone 6 / 6 Plus!

Mine doesn't do this.

 

That is weird. I hear it too!

 

Yep, hear it on my plus. Will check my reg 6 soon and report back

 

Okay. Tried in a quieter room. Yep. I can hear it too. Must be the sensor reading the print.

 

Yes indeed. Must be related to Reachability.

 

nano hamsters running on their nano wheels keeping the phone running.

 

I tested this and I too heard that weird quiet buzzing sound. I turned off reachability in Settings>General and now I can't hear the sound.

I'm beginning to worry that the 6 Plus is a lemon what with the potential structural weakness, sluggish performance, and now this. I get it can also be on the 6's.

 

Just tried this and I don't hear anything. Hmm.

 

Yup, I can hear it.

 

Me neither. Maybe it's a hoax. XD

 

What in the world would this have to do with the phone being a lemon?

Rest your finger on the button and then put your ear to the phone like you're making a call. Do it in a dead silent room and don't move around. It's a very VERY low ticking sound. Barely there at all.

 

Lol I hear it. Sounds normal to me. I mean it's an electronic device after all.

 

It's boring on the toilet isn't it?

 

Yep. Sounds completely normal to me as well.

 

It sounds like a tiny little diesel generator.

If I stick my head down the toilet and pull the flush I get wet.

 

Yep, sounds like a little generator.

Maybe it only happens if you put your ear so close that it starts trying to scan it?

Does a touch ID buzz if no-one's ear is around to hear it

 

no but a tree falls down

 

of course it will buzz when you touch the ring, you are completing the circuit, you are the on button
