iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Users Report Static Speaker Noise While Charging

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max users are encountering speaker issues, specifically a persistent static or hissing noise. This problem arises during charging, disrupting the audio experience for owners of the new iPhone models. The issue affects users across various platforms like Reddit and Apple’s support forums. Users describe the sound as similar to an old radio, with some hearing it even when nothing is playing. The static noise is evident when scrolling or at low volumes, even when not charging. The issue persists regardless of the charger type, including Apple's official ones and MagSafe. Unplugging the device from the charger stops the problem, confirming its link to charging. Replacing the device hasn't always solved the problem, as new phones also experience the identical issue. This suggests a potential hardware or software defect affecting the newest iPhone generation. Apple has not officially acknowledged the problem or provided a solution. The widespread reports indicate a significant user concern with the faulty audio.
