Apple is yet to address complaints that the iPhone 7 makes a hissing sound when it is supporting a heavy workload.

Engineers reckon the hissing is due to “coil whine”, the noise that electrical components sometimes make when they’re operating, caused by electromagnetic coils vibrating – something you’ve probably heard from your computer. Users say the hissing is noticeable when the phone is under a heavier load, such as watching video or playing games.

Released just roughly two weeks ago, buyers of the new iPhone 7 have already came across a unusual defect on the gadget.

Apple’s new iPhone 7 line just released and it seems like the phones are already encountering problems based on reports of the devices producing unusual hissing sounds.

However, no reports of any accident or danger as a result of the iPhone 7 hissing sound have come in yet. Upon informing AppleCare, the provider has promised to replace Hackett’s unit. Other reports are saying that the source of the noise is the A10 fusion chip, located in the rear of the phone next to the Apple logo.

“As my iPhone 7 Plus was restoring from iCloud, I thought I noticed some sound”, Hackett said.

The good news is the occurrence does not affect all iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

IPhone fix company iFixit just tore apart one of the brand new iPhones, revealing some of the design changes and more in Apple’s brand new device.

Apple is yet to comment officially on the claims.
