There have been several reports of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus essentially getting stuck in airplane mode, and now Apple is reportedly issuing replacements. The bug stops users from adjusting the volume of their music, and does not allow them to access Siri or answer calls while wearing their EarPods.
The issue also affects headphones connected to the Lightning port through the 3.5mm headphone adapter, indicating it’s a problem with the way the iPhone handles the Lightning connection and giving critics of the decision to remove the headphone jack something to gloat about.
Apart from the issue of the hissing sound, another problem has been bothering the users of the newly-launched iPhone 7.

Apple hasn’t said anything publicly about the issues that users have brought up, but it has alerted service providers to instruct customers to restart their phones and pop their SIM cards in and out to fix the problems. Once we get that, you shouldn’t have to worry about it occurring again, though there’s no word on when it will arrive just yet.
