What is marriage with iPhone 7. Marriage iPhone out of the box - examples of real people. The choice is yours

In October I changed my iPhone 6s Plus to iPhone 7 Plus. It was a purchase of a real gadget lover, but the “seven” is definitely the best iPhone in my life. It's enchantingly fast (even sharper than the iPhone 4s on iOS 6), holds a charge for two days, shoots great and looks good: the black matte case suits me more than the silver surface with peeling paint.

But even the iPhone 7 Plus has its downsides. Two of them are incurable, five are exclusive: most likely, they are observed only in my copy, but I see no reason to return the phone because of strange glitches.

1. Deadly low charging speed. With the iPhone 6s Plus, it was easy: you insert a cord connected to the adapter from the iPad into it, and the process takes not three hours, but two. For some reason, this number does not work with the iPhone 7. Rather, the speed is the same, but there is a risk to health: the gadget heats up to the temperature at which the inhabitants of Pompeii scrambled with might and main from the city.

You have to charge the original adapter and wait 3.5 hours. In a nearby outlet, as a rule, an Android device is powered by energy, and for some reason (there is the same capacity - 3000 mAh) it takes 70-80 minutes to go from 0% to 100%.

The saddest thing is that the great iPhone 4s was able to charge in an hour without any overheating. And not only does it take more than three hours to charge, but external batteries also become almost useless: you just get tired of carrying this box with you, waiting for a miserable 10-15% to overflow. On a train or plane, this is easier, but if recharging is suddenly required where you need to move, then it’s more logical to plug your iPhone into a power outlet and hope that it won’t be stolen.

2. Completely idiotic phone design. Yes, the iPhone has become much louder, but why as soon as I move the slider slightly past the middle, the screen starts to vibrate and tremble?

Obviously, it is affected by the power of the two speakers. I inform you: using an iPhone with thundering music is decidedly inconvenient. Apple leaves you with a choice: either turn up the volume, put the phone on the table and dance, or keep the slider below the middle and pretend that there is still only one modest speaker in the case.

3. Mysterious notification menu glitch. Periodically (I caught it, but there is no pattern), when you open the top menu with the iPhone screen, terrible things happen. Flashing light stripes now fill the entire space, then neatly fit in the middle, then expand to a third of the screen and interfere with the perception of information. How it looks - in the photo below (on the right there is a slight blur, do not be alarmed). Nothing like this has ever been seen on any other menu.

4. Problem with the accelerometer. Like all normal people, the first thing I do after turning on a new phone is to put an end to the automatic change of orientation: there is nothing more inconvenient than adjusting to the accelerometer while lying on the couch. But sometimes the horizontal mode is still needed: for example, when watching a video where there is no magic “full screen” button.

Naturally, after the session, I immediately cut down the unfortunate auto-change of orientation, but that was not the case: it haunts me even when it is turned off. That is, the accelerometer is officially on vacation, but for some reason it continues to flip the screen.

I don’t know how to explain this, but only locking and unlocking the phone helps. The effect lasts about two hours after saying goodbye to the accelerometer.

5. Key failure. Three times in three months I fixed an infinitely shameful glitch: the screen works, but there is no button. It's hard without buttons: you can't lock your phone, change the volume, or minimize the app. Only a “reset” (Power key + volume change button) helped to escape from such muck, but every time I lost precious time and no less precious charging percentages.

6. Zero stability. You can calmly use your iPhone, and then r-r-time! - and the screen goes blank, and the waiting wheel is spinning on a black background. Next is the original desktop. That app you were just on has been slammed shut. I confess that before the update to iOS 10.1, this happened almost once every three days. Now (iOS 10.2) - once every couple of weeks.

7. Weak connector. I hated the 3.5mm hole for the fact that very often there was noise when turning the plug, or the sound disappeared altogether.

There was no such thing with the lightning input for a long time, but in recent weeks there has been another problem: you plug in a headset, it does not work, you turn the cable over, insert it the other way, and the music plays wonderfully into both headphones. If anything, I use both the headset and the phone carefully.

You can tell about your disasters with new (and not so new) iPhones in the comments.

While the Chinese division of Apple is investigating the first incident with an iPhone 7 that allegedly exploded in the hands of the owner of the iPhone 7, experts in the restoration of "apple" devices take apart the "seven" screw by screw and tell what problems its owner can expect, and most importantly, explain how to avoid these problems.

Experts did not find obvious reasons for the explosion. It is not known how the investigation in China will end, but, according to the repair masters, there is definitely no reason for panic in this regard. But there is another problem. If you have already purchased an iPhone 7, be careful with your smartphone: if you break it before the Chinese New Year, the repair will cost a pretty penny.

Specialists from AkulaService told the publication what most often breaks down in the iPhone 7 and what owners of new flagships should pay attention to.

1. Take care of your screen

Broken glass and a broken display are the main reason for contacting service centers. As in previous models, in the "seven" the screen is not protected in any way. In addition, keep in mind that replacing it automatically means a loss of moisture resistance (water protection, however, will be lost when you open the device). Buy a special protective glass and a case.

2. Don't be surprised if iPhone 7 starts clicking

Such a defect was revealed in all "sevens": with a high load on the processor (games, watching videos, etc.), they begin to make a characteristic clicking sound, which is audible if you bring the phone to your ear. This is most likely due to the overall high power and speed of the electronic components. In general, any electronics makes sounds during operation. The more powerful it is, the stronger the sound.

3. iPhone is now waterproof. As if

But this does not mean at all that it can be dipped into a liquid and kept there for a long time. This can lead to serious problems with electronic components, and if moisture gets inside, it’s not a fact at all that your “seven” can then be reanimated.

4. Don't charge your iPhone in the car

The practice of repairing the latest Apple models says that this can lead to breakdowns - regardless of the brand of car and the class of charger. This also applies to the iPhone 7. Instead of charging from the "cigarette lighter" it is better to use external batteries.

5. Don't over-discharge your battery

Do not let the battery discharge below 40% (in an emergency - 20%). Ideally, you should only charge and use your phone at room temperature. Otherwise, you will have to change the battery.

6. If you haven’t bought yet, but are going to, it’s better not to rush

Firstly, as a rule, the first batches need some improvements. Secondly, in the case of repair, there is nowhere to take spare parts. The only option is donor phones (service centers purchase similar gadgets in a minimal configuration and disassemble them for spare parts). The cost of repairs will decrease slightly by spring - market players expect the start of deliveries of relatively inexpensive, but, in principle, high-quality components from the Middle Kingdom after the Chinese New Year (February 9).

7. Buy iPhone 7 with PCT

PCT is the all-Russian certification standard for mobile devices, which indicates the legality of the sale, official localization and warranty from the official representatives of the manufacturer. That is, only official devices and only from official Apple resellers. The point is the guarantee of free repair of minor breakdowns (display, battery, etc.). In addition, if you buy a “gray” phone, then if a serious problem happens to it (a defective processor or modem), you will simply be left without a device, since such problems are unsolvable.

Just a week ago, my wife and I decided to buy an iPhone Xs Max for 256 Gb each. We bought the first gold-colored phone in the Svyaznoy mobile phone store, and I went to MVideo to get a silver one. Already standing at the point of issue of goods, the seller and I decided to check the contents of the iPhone box, and when I removed the protective film and opened the box, there was dust under the envelope on the black front surface of the screen, which seemed surprising to me, because for such money the phone should actually be in vacuum, tightly isolated from the environment.

The seller was not embarrassed, he said that there were cases that even broken iPhones came. “Well, okay, anything can happen,” I thought, “the main thing is that everything is OK with the iPhone.” Having briefly examined the phone (I didn’t have a second iPhone with me and there was no opportunity to compare them on the spot), I put it in a box and went home to hand it to my wife nice gift. I note the fact that before that she used the iPhone X, it was perfectly assembled without gaps, so she had something to compare with.

Terrible build

Toward evening, she called me on FaceTime, of course, by this time she had activated it, restored it from iCloud, pasted the protective glass on the screen, said that the device felt tactilely unpleasant in her hand, and later at home I saw for myself the defect. For comparison, I had two identical iPhone Xs Max in my hands. And on the silver model, the deformation of the side steel frame was felt, and the difference between these iPhones was visually noticeable.

The next morning I went to MVideo in the hope of exchanging the goods, since less than 24 hours had passed since the purchase, already having the 2nd iPhone in my hands in order to show the difference. But no one even looked there, they said that I was finding fault and offered to hand over the phone for a quality check for up to 21 days. Of course, I refused, then they offered me to go to an authorized Apple service center, so that they could solve all the issues on the spot so as not to wait 21 days ...

Problem

The frames of the device case and the edges of the rear glass cover of the device, the edges of the display protrude significantly and are tactilely felt when in contact with them. The gaps between the body and the rear glass cover have been enlarged.

Of course, I had questions and doubts about the IP68 stated in it - this is very high level protection against the penetration of small particles and liquids, and here one does not stick to the other. In turn, the gold version was perfectly assembled and felt solid, without any doubts at the slightest inspection, like the previous "ten". I had a similar experience, as well as reviews of hundreds of people affected by such defects on various forums, news resources. There were cases when the phone came out of the box with a loose-fitting display, “crunchy” and making various sounds when pressed in the corners of the screen. It's been worse, but that's not the point now.

Apple Conclusion

Since the defect cannot be repaired, I counted on an exchange. In general, I called Apple and asked for clarification on this situation, describing the defects in great detail, I was asked to drive 100 km to an authorized service center and run diagnostics in order to confirm the presence of a marriage again, but from the company's side. After an hour-long inspection of a defective phone, I received a denial of warranty service and this paper….

…which states that the defect is cosmetic and is not covered by the warranty! Yes, here tactilely and obviously there is a marriage of the case, but in the terms of the warranty, Apple clearly registered such cases, thereby protecting and protecting itself. Wait, what about us? What should we do in such cases? Do you propose to loyal fans, due to whom the "apple" corporation thrives, to enjoy the negative operating experience?

To these questions in the service center, I was offered to put up with it and put on some kind of cover, well, who doesn’t happen, right? That's bad luck, right? You got one such iPhone out of 100, right? Such Mr. exclusivity ...

Calling Apple

After I “wiped” this spit from my face, there’s no other way to call it, I called Apple technical support again and, after talking with a specialist 10 times, I was transferred to a senior technical specialist, who, in turn, after listening to the whole situation , asked to send a photo of the phone in order to confirm the presence of a defect for the 5th time. I sent her a photo, this is what they told me ....

I understood that the situation had exhausted itself, and now the only way to exchange (mind you not to return, but to exchange) an expensive defective device for a new one and somehow restore justice is to go to court, which I will not do, because the time and resources for it’s not, but I certainly have to write a review and highlight an action of this nature, because there are a lot of such obvious violations of consumer rights. And it is necessary to convey our dissatisfaction to the company. Agree with me, in this price category, the device must justify the cost invested in it.

Outcome

Pay attention to the presence of dust in the box, scratches and crevices on the device, so that in case of marriage you will immediately replace it and in no case activate it until you are sure of the quality of the product.

About Warranty

There is no Apple Store in Russia, and there is also no fourteen-day warranty, according to which I have the right to return and exchange an iPhone if it has a factory defect, regardless of whether it is activated or not, such a luxury is only in Europe. Here in Russia, until you have bought a phone, you are a welcome guest in the store, but after the purchase, interest in your person is lost, and you are transferred with your problems from one department to another, forced to make many phone calls, travel 100 km in order to hear the word “no”, after which you simply lose the desire to do this and waste your time. Yes, that's how it works.

A systemic crisis for any company means not only the destruction of the usual rules, it also affects the production chain, what the company considers acceptable for the quality of the product. The main product for Apple has always been the iPhone. In the days of Steve Jobs, they tried to keep the quality of the iPhone at the highest possible level, mistakes and shortcomings happened, but the company made sure that the most expensive devices on the planet were, if not ideal, then close to it in terms of production. Those quality standards have long since sunk into oblivion. For example, the iPhone 11 Pro I bought has a smudged front camera, and it's smudged from the inside! Is marriage an assembly? Definitely. In past years, such a device would not have passed quality control, today it is considered the norm.

One of our readers Alexey Kulimanov decided to collect a selection of defects that he himself encountered or read about it from other people. This is a selection of messages from the w3bsit3-dns.com forum, below is a letter without any cuts. I think that these are quite telling “mistakes” that happen to all manufacturers, but only at Apple they have become a habit and have become standard in last years. So, the word to Alexei.

Eldar, good evening. Boiled.

I have been using iPhones since 2007, when the first model came out.

I was always surprised by the attitude with which the company approached the production and assembly of the phone. Everything is perfectly assembled, no jambs and other nuances, not counting the features of the system limitations at that time)

But, apparently, after the death of Steve Jobs, everything in the company began to turn upside down. And my last stumbling block was the filthy build quality of the devices.

Below will be presented only a small part of the reviews about the devices on the forum where users communicate.

I myself personally tried to buy a normally assembled device (iPhone Xr).

Summary: only 1 out of 6 comes across without jambs ... Where is the attention to detail, Apple?

Now I spit on all this and go with Androyd.

So here's what the official website says:

“Exceptional quality materials. Particularly durable glass front panel. Tight-fitting aerospace-grade aluminum frame. Protection against water and dust.

What do users really say on the forums of iPhone owners.

Writes DmitriPsy, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

"Friends! I've been butting heads with Apple since September. Dust under the camera in my case was in 6 out of 7 devices (one had dirt under the glass).

Moreover, the dust was both in simply replaced devices, and in a completely new one out of the box.

Apple does not recognize the problem, but simply changes the device for the device. The maximum that I heard from the specialists from the hotline: this is generally a cosmetic defect that does not affect the operation of the device in any way. And the fact that this phone is just out of the box and has IP 67, then it doesn't matter ... =) If they recognize it as a mass problem, then apparently millions of returns are provided to them. On the Internet, on English-language forums, I also saw a lot of user requests on the topic: "Dust under the camera glass" ... people over the hill are also worried about this problem!

First, what I understood when communicating with Apple: Oral technical support actually a waste of time. They do not make concessions, but they say that we will help you... As a result, all their help comes down to an offer to return the money for the device. Believe me, I got direct communication with the customer service department (these are English-speaking Apple specialists in Ireland). Hot line Apple has no (relatively speaking) responsibility for wasting your time and its time. All claims must be sent to Apple Rus LLC and in writing (to their legal address). From them you can already ask to reduce the purchase price of the device, cover your costs, taking into account delays in repairs, and other points reflected in the articles of the Consumer Rights Protection Law.

Service centers in general are responsible for little at all ... they are not the so-called "Authorized organizations", respectively, they do not solve anything at all and we can make claims against them in general, but this is practically useless.

For clarity, I attached a small part of the photos of iPhones with dust under the camera =) The last two photos were taken by me personally!

Writes Marto4kaKotskaya, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

“This one is my fourth xs, in the first one there were dust particles in the display, the second one was chipped and crooked gluing, the third one was covered in glue around the edges, the fourth one I just took realizing that I would not find the ideal one, now there is also dust in the camera, I just put up with it.”

Sent my Xs Max 512 Gb gold to SC:

• The top left corner of the display crackles
• Rear window creaks all over
• Top speaker intermittently not working when playing sound
• There is still some kind of spot inside the display (barely noticeable)
• Factory plated steel frame rear part bottom right

Writes michael80, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

“Hello, I bought the XR a week ago and just now I noticed at a certain angle spots on the back. As if the glass does not fit well, and if you look directly, you can not see anything. In Apple, support was told to carry it to the SC, in the SC they said, if there is a marriage, we will change the glass. What for me to change the glass on the new phone. I bought it in TMall, it's not so easy to return it, the old device has already been sold, there is no other. I don't know what to do yet."

Writes nikitabun, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

“Has anyone experienced this? XR, appeared about a month ago, is it worth carrying it to the sc while the phone is under warranty? It is visible mainly only on a gray background, but sometimes I notice it on a white one.

Writes Nuyton, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

"Good day!

I bought XR Red in Svyaznoy almost a week ago and found a small kotska on the bottom edge of the black frame around the display, as if they had been cut off or underpolished, and, right below it, a small dot on the aluminum frame, which you need to try to see, as if they were poked with a compass.

There is no dust, the screen, it seems, is uniform in color, there are no cracks, there is no creak, there is no rattle, it seems, i.e. except for Kotska, the phone is trouble-free.

Is it possible to replace in the ASC or not even try, since the week has passed? Has anyone had experience? Will a replacement arrive in even worse condition? In Svyaznoy, trying to return, I think, is useless.

Or score, because, it seems, you are lucky and only Kotska is out of the jambs and rejoice? And then, remembering my experience with the 6S, I made a couple of replacements, like, in each there were jambs, then the dust would fill up, then the button crunches. Is it worth looking for the perfect device at all?

Arseny370

"Hello.

Bought Xr red 64 10 days ago.(2018 y.p.)

Literally immediately noticed a lot of dust under the camera lens (15 dust particles).

There is a crunch / wheezing in the speakers.

Does Apple recognize this as a marriage?

Writes Aleksandr10rus, forum w3bsit3-dns.com:

“I bought a brand new iPhone XR today in a store on Tmail, the courier delivered it home, opened the box and saw the aluminum frame box, is this a warranty case?”.

Writes klumoff, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

iPhone Xr. "Perfect" sim tray fit. This jamb is immediately felt in the hand. The solution is a cover. Apple fans should suffer)."

Stepleridze writes, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

“Hello everyone) I want to write my own story about marriage) I wrote earlier that there are Kotska on the frame from the factory, and it seems that they don’t care, I still wear it in the original case, go for a guarantee - cosmetics will say and you can’t prove that this is from the box. Of course, I was saddened by this fact, and the impression was spoiled, but I scored and enjoyed it further. Then I began to notice that when using the phone, it often freezes, once it stopped responding to the touch, I had to reboot, once it began to eat the battery, rebooted, once it hung and sagged, in short, all this time I was enraged by these lags and blunts, enrage hanging in some applications when you enter, for example, in the clock application - it freezes for a couple of seconds, everything flies with the girl. Well, it's okay, tolerable, then I started talking on the phone longer and then I heard the ringing of the speaker, it specifically began to cut my hearing when I went north on a business trip where the quality of the connection is not the best and then I felt all the fat of the speaker (or marriage xs). In short, I think well, maybe the connection affects it. Then I pull it out of the case, start wiping it, and it creaks in my hands like a door to the basement, and looking at the screen in detail, I notice a kilometer-long gap between the screen and the frame, in addition, there are loud clicks of apples. In short, I was wildly disappointed in the quality of the phone for 90 thousand. I gave it to a girlfriend, she came to the city and handed it over to the official service center - he indicated the reasons: a screen gap, a creak of the case, clicks, Kotska and the ringing of the speaker. As a result, they took it for diagnostics, out of 5 reasons they confirmed only the creak, sent it to Moscow, they confirmed the creak and recognized the marriage, as a result, today I took a new exchange device. So the creak gets under an exchange. They haven’t turned it on and checked it yet, the girl took it away, but outwardly there are no jambs, kotsek, squeaks, clicks, cracks, outwardly everything is ok, I specifically asked her to check for jambs.

“Good evening everyone. Please tell me this moment. Bought a new iphone xr yesterday. Everything seems to be working well. But today I noticed a small spot in the upper right corner of the screen on the off screen. At first I thought it was dirt or something like a sticky layer left over from the film that was on the glass when I bought it. But this garbage is not removed in any way and upon closer examination it looks as if the oleophobic coating is not completely applied. It does not seem to affect the operation of the phone, it is not visible on the switched on screen. A trifle, but still for a phone for 50 thousand somehow not very pleasant.

Writes klumoff, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

"iPhone 8 Plus Display Defect".

Writes klumoff, w3bsit3-dns.com forum:

“Another xr. Side keys of different colors - one is lighter, the other is darker. Apparently a bad colorist is sitting at the factory))”.

And this is only a small part of the feedback from the forums, given that not everyone is sitting there and not everyone notices such nuances.

The most interesting thing is that, having seen Kotska and chips on their new smartphone at home, many will want to return or exchange the device for another without flaws, but in the store you will be sent to all four sides with a 99.9 percent probability. The fact that the chips and damage to the case were immediately out of the box will no longer be proven.

Here it is, the magic of Apple today ... I'm not surprised that the devices are assembled by children and unskilled specialists.

Below I will add a few more photos from the countless cosmetic marriage right out of the box.

Have you experienced something similar? Share photos, stories in the comments.

A typical picture for Apple branded stores: people walk up to open windows, touch the new iPhone 7, make sad faces at the price, and then still ask consultants if the models are in stock. After that, the face changes already at the sellers, who are forced to mutter something like: “No, they are not there now, but they are expected to be delivered ... Someday ... You can leave a pre-order ... We will call you.” Of course, no one names exact dates.

The most dodgy consultants came up with another scheme with a similar outcome. They smile and answer: “Yes, we have an iPhone 7. By pre-order. Leave your phone? We'll pick it up as soon as we get it."

All this is insanely reminiscent of a hopeless interview: both the applicant and the HR manager already know that they are most likely not on the way, but they stubbornly pretend that there is still a chance for continued cooperation.

To buy an iPhone 7, you need to return to the USSR for a while and remember the verb "get it." The best way to get a gadget is to find all the stores where it can be sold and place pre-orders without listening to anyone. Do not even hesitate: absolutely in every network you will be told that the iPhone 7, if it appears in the coming weeks, then only with them. Of course, this is a lie: the iPhone can pop up anywhere.

After making pre-orders, you need to go into active waiting mode and raid the area every evening, going into stores and asking if there are new iPhones. There are definitely chances: you never know, a copy has already been brought, and someone refused to pre-order.

By the way, you should not believe in crazy demand: it was provoked by Apple itself, having brought to Russia only 30 thousand iPhone 7 in the first batch. Alas, the following games are even smaller in volume, so we can only wait and hope. The saddest situation is observed with the iPhone 7 Plus (total rarity) and iPhone 7 Jet Black (so far they are sold only in "gray" stores for 10-20% more than the actual cost).

Claims, of course, should be made not to Russian stores, but specifically to Apple: there is a shortage all over the world.

Two questions arise:

1) Why start selling at the end of September, if the most popular models will appear only in November?

2) How could it be so mediocre to prepare for the release of the iPhone 7, if the smartphone is completely insignificantly different from the iPhone 6s?

Ugly quality

One would think that the agonizing wait is due to the fact that Apple carefully controls the production of gadgets - the myth of the Cupertino company's perfectionism still lives on. It's time to get frustrated: missing deadlines doesn't correlate with high product quality.

Let's start with the hiss. From time to time it was also encountered on previous iPhones, but here it is not at all difficult to call it: you just need to run a couple of high-quality videos in parallel in two different players. Done - iPhone 7 will delight you with a quiet, but annoying sound. How this could be allowed in a flagship-level device in 2016 is a mystery.

The next complaint is the build quality. Apple added another speaker on top to get stereo sound, but didn't factor that into the design of the phone. Bottom line: if you play music at a volume above 50%, the screen will vibrate and rattle. In words, this effect is not at all scary, but when you encounter it in reality, you get the feeling that you have a Chinese phone from the end of the 2000s in your hands. At least those devices also had crazy speakers that shook everything around.

The third point is the quality of materials. There are no excesses with the standard body colors, production has already been established there. Matte black has only one sin: it collects prints that are only visible from a certain angle. But glossy black, as expected, very quickly loses its presentation.

Apple warns that there is a risk of scratches when worn without a case, but this thesis is not entirely true. The truth sounds like this: scratches will appear without fail. Below, for example, is a two-week old iPhone 7 Jet Black, which was used without a case. The author of the tweet assures that the smartphone did not even fall - it was simply carried in a pocket and placed on various surfaces. There are no rebuttals: it seems that the iPhone 7 is designed for fantastically accurate users.

But there is a fourth problem - marriage, which is silent. The fact is that the new iPhone 7 massively lose the network. This case, of course, is a warranty, so the smartphone will be quickly changed. But here the fact itself is important: people who suddenly lost their connection due to a practically new device regularly contact stores and service centers.

I first saw this news on the page of the entrepreneur Yaroslav Andreev (Elf Merchant), and then I checked with my consultants and sellers if they really bring defective seventh iPhones. After hesitating, they replied that it was true, but it was the iPhone 7 that was losing the network, not the iPhone 7 Plus.

What to do next?

According to KGI and a number of other authoritative sources, in a year, Apple will release the iPhone 8 in a completely new case made of glass and metal. Obviously, the company should now think about suppliers and the quality of parts, otherwise the story of the global update will end in a powerful failure.

Samsung recently demonstrated the worst scenario - now Cupertino is obliged to learn and not repeat the mistakes of a competitor who lost $ 5.3 billion on the Galaxy Note 7 (according to the calculations of the Koreans themselves). For the current Apple, money is the only motivation, so you can hope for the best.

When buying Apple smartphones, most users, given the global reputation of the brand, hope to get a quality gadget without any deviations (“glitches”, “bugs”), and even more so, they do not expect to find defects in an expensive device. In addition, people want to see noticeable improvements in the new model compared to the previous version. But still, the iPhone cannot satisfy all the requests of demanding users who find flaws in the smartphone. The new iPhone 7 was no exception.

Processor noise: normal or defective?

Experts point out that in new version iPhone has the most powerful mobile processor in existence. But in practice, it turned out to be not so ideal. The owners of the latest iPhone model have noticed a strange noise that it makes during operation. According to experts, previous versions also made similar sounds when the smartphone was loaded, that is, when watching videos online, running games and other programs and applications. Perhaps users have become more attentive to such things after the recent incidents with Samsung Galaxy Note 7 gadgets, the batteries of which caught fire during overheating. Cases like these motivate people to be more wary of strange sounds, which are published by the iPhone 7.

Since the model is new, so far it has not been possible to find out whether such hissing and noise in any way affects the performance and quality of the phone. By the way, the A10 Fusion processor is installed in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models, which does an excellent job of launching and running any applications.

Frightened by the hiss of the gadget, users immediately began to discuss the problem on various forums and even came up with a separate name for it - “HissGate”.

Communication problems or speaker defects?

It seems that during the creation of the iPhone 7, the developers were so carried away inventing new features and improving the performance of the smartphone that they forgot about its main purpose - making phone calls.

Some experts believe that such a drawback appeared due to a special membrane, which is designed to guarantee the protection of the device from moisture. That is, trying to improve the additional qualities of the smartphone, the developers did not take into account the deterioration of the main function of the gadget.

Attention to details
