Apple iPhone 17 Pro Users Report Unusual Noise While ...
Users report static and crackling noises from iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max speakers mainly while charging; some fixes work but others still face the issue as of iOS 26.2.
- Shortly after launch, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max users reported a static noise from the bottom speaker while charging, with discussions on MacRumors, Reddit, and Apple Support Community.
- Apple Support Community posts show reports began shortly after the iPhone 17 Pro launch and persisted through iOS 26.2, with a potential fix expected in iOS 26.3 in a few weeks.
- Users describe the sound as old-radio static or a low hiss that is subtle in quiet rooms, sometimes audible at zero volume and during scrolling or launching the Camera app while charging, with some hearing it on replacement iPhone units.
- Apple support engineers told users in October that a future software update will address the issue, but diagnostics and replacements sometimes failed to stop the noise for customers who requested replacements.
- Despite strong demand for the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, reports persist despite iOS 26 updates and use of MagSafe chargers and third-party cables, with some warning of potential long-term speaker damage.
