The Apple iPhone 12 Pro’s speakers aren’t performing up to the mark for some, and this has come to light after the emergence of a series of complaints by users.
Users complain that they encounter a crackling/static sound when playing media through the speakers. A few of such reports have been picked from Apple forums and are given below.
There are inconsistencies in the manner users are facing the issue. Some say it is minor, while many others opined that the issue has spoiled the overall listening experience.
Also, several say that they encounter it on specific apps only, while others have stated that they face it all the time, regardless of the app being used.
Furthermore, a couple of users have stated that they are able to reproduce the problem when making use of MagSafe chargers.
Now, Apple’s new wireless charging technology does make the use of magnets, which can theoretically cause an interference with speakers. However, this is unlikely given Apple’s strict quality control.
If you are facing the issue only when charging, then it could be a faulty device.
In any case, most users agree on the fact that a reboot fixes the issue temporarily. Moreover, several users have also tried factory resetting to no avail.
So, can there be a universal culprit behind the iPhone 12 Pro speaker issue? Well, it is unclear as of now. The problem reportedly disappeared for a user after they got a device replacement. This does imply that the issue is linked to hardware.
However, if it truly is hardware-related, then why are some users reporting that they face static in audio through earphones as well? These unanswered questions create an air of speculation.
Pushing the speculation aside, all users can do for now is hope that the iPhone 12 Pro speaker issue is a software one that will soon be addressed by Apple. We will keep updating the story as and when there are new updates.
