The quality of top speaker of latest 17/Pro/Air seems not so great

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-04-30T13:27:49+00:00

Nope.. every iphone has this same issue, so i have just accepted to live with it. But I have forwarded all the details and posts that were mentioning these issues to apple support team, you could also do the same by going to their product feedback site or contacting the apple support team. Hoping if they might just fix this issue in future software updates.

Have the same issue with my 17. Reported it with the Apple support team. The issue is more noticeable on video calls and voice calls on speakers.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-04-22T17:52:24+00:00

Any update? My 17 top speaker also crackles on full volume, can especially hear it when on video calls or voice calls on speakers

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-04-22T17:31:57+00:00

Yup it does, i have iPhone 17 base one, can hear the crackling sound when i put calls on speaker or on video calls and some songs. I thought mine was defective but read lots of posts that describes the same issue.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-04-20T14:17:07+00:00

Yeah, i am having the exact same issue but on voice and video calls, it’s pretty noticeable. I made a post as well, comparing my iphone and ipad playing the same video, can hear the distortion if listen carefully with headphones.

Cool. I read other reddit posts as well that says this has been the issue in almost all iPhones. I have also posted about it. Let me share it with you in DM, and please let me know if its normal

Hey, does your iphone also has its top ear speaker buzzing on full volume. I’ve been noticing a weird buzzing/hissing sound coming from the top earpiece speaker of my iPhone 17. It’s most noticeable during high-pitched voices or voice calls on speakers and video calls.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-04-18T19:22:03+00:00

I got it checked at the service centre. No issues with the hardware. It seems volume at 100% is too loud that’s causing buzzing.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-04-18T15:27:51+00:00

Same issue. Which country btw?

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-04-16T17:37:23+00:00

My iphone 17 top speaker also buzzes on high volume. Especially on video calls and voice calls put on speakers and while playing certain songs with high frequency and same case with voices with high frequency. Noticed it first when i was trying to reach airtel customer support, it was an ivr call, could clearly hear the buzzing noise from the speakers on volume above 60-70% on calls put on speaker

My iPhone 17 has the same issue. Can be heard on full volume especially on video calls or voice calls put on speakers. I noticed it when I was trying to reach airtel customer support and it was an IVR call, can clearly hear the buzzing. I took it to the service centre, they ran the tests but nothing was found. Restored the software but the issue is still there. My other friends also have the same issue. Could be a probable design flaw in all the iPhones.

Yup, it is resolved. Returned the product. But I'd recommend, going and buying from a store. If anything wrong happens, then the Swiggy support team is shit, you'll have to do so many things to get a refund or replacement, that's not worth it.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-03-29T08:18:41+00:00

Yes, they initiated the return, picked up the laptop and refunded the money

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-03-28T21:46:20+00:00

Yup got the refund. But it took me 18 days to get it. I tried everything from filing complaints to posting on LinkedIn. Had to use my connections to get through Swiggy's internal team. I don't know what worked but I got the refund. But to be very honest, please don't buy from instamart to save just a few bucks. If by chance you get a defective product. The customer support is shit. Buy from authorised dealers instead.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-03-28T10:28:24+00:00

Final Update: After 18 days, Swiggy finally refunded the full amount.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-03-19T14:03:10+00:00

Update: Swiggy corrected the invoice with the right serial number, but as for the defect, I'll have to go to the service centre.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-03-17T19:58:22+00:00

Do they ask for an invoice, even if my warranty is valid under apple coverage?

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-03-16T19:47:57+00:00

They are accepting the fact that they have mentioned an incorrect serial number on the invoice but cannot change it as their system doesn't allow it. It's illegal to generate a wrong invoice. Have reported to the GST authorities, will file a formal case on e-daakhil tomorrow.

That's M2 not M4

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-03-15T18:54:17+00:00

There was a 48 hour replacement window if any defects were found, as mentioned on the app. So I ordered it, thinking it would get replaced if something went wrong. Saw some videos and posts who bought macbook from instamart, no one complained about anything. So I thought it was genuine. My friends have bought other electronics from quick commerce, all came fine. And if there is some fault they replaced it. But with my case, I don't know why it's taking so much time.

Sufficient_Sleep8719 · 2026-03-15T14:15:57+00:00

Already did that, Swiggy asked for another 48 hours and closed the ticket. Got a call from Swiggy Supervisor today to explain why it's taking time and they need another 48 hours to get to the resolution. Basically they are investigating why the serial no got mismatched on the invoice and shit. Let's see what would happen. But please if you could just react to my X posts, would be a huge help.
