Starting today, customers with an iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus can trade-up their existing handset for an iPhone 7 and get up to $315 for turning in their old device.
The noise was first noticed by Stephen Hackett of 512 Pixels fame, and was corroborated by a lot of other users, including some major tech industry types. It has been learnt that the new A10 Fusion processor might be the reason since the sound only comes when large programs are being processed.
By Hackett’s account, his iPhone 7 began hissing when restoring it from iCloud. Been hearing hissing noises from your device when using it for power-intensive applications?
Some are saying this could be on the processor’s problem while some suggest maybe the hissing sound is kind of a cooling system for the device. In Hackett’s case, it offered to replace his phone.
Apple is yet to comment officially on the claims.
The accompanying tagline for the new advert reads: “The all-new iPhone 7, with low-light camera”.
