Users of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are encountering issues with their device speakers, reporting a static or hissing noise when the phone is charging. This problem has sparked numerous discussions online, with affected individuals describing the sound as reminiscent of an old radio. The noise is noticeable both when audio is playing and at times when nothing is being played from the speakers. Some users even hear a low crackle or hiss while scrolling through webpages during charging. The static noise persists across various charger types, including official Apple chargers, although it appears quieter with MagSafe charging. Unplugging the device seems to eliminate the noise for those affected. Attempts to exchange devices have not resolved the issue for some users. Apple is reportedly aware of the problem and is working on a solution, though recent iOS updates have not yet addressed it. The sound is subtle, suggesting that it may be more widespread than initially thought, with only those sensitive to such noises noticing it.
