In fact, a hissing sound emanating from your phone could spark fears of an iPhone version of Samsung’s exploding Note 7 batteries.

While the obvious candidate remains Apple’s A10 Fusion processor the question remains how? how can a fanless chip make a noise like it seemingly does have one?
We’ve reached out to Apple for comment about the reported hissing issue and will update when we hear back.
Stephen Hackett was the first to notice this odd noice and brought the issue to public notice. and now people are beginning to notice this as well. Some say it’s an obvious hissing noise while some say that it’s barely audible, only discernible if they put the phone right next to their ears.
Until recently, it was the sort of problem that was limited to computers.
We haven’t heard the noises on our own devices, and both iMore and Engadget tested their own iPhones under heavy load and couldn’t reproduce noises that gave them any worry.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus were only launched on Friday. And it seems to get worse as the smartphone gets taxed more. Tasks that are low key such as Mail only use the two power-sipping cores, but a controller will fire up the other two high-performance cores when needed for CPU-intensive tasks.

Have you ever noticed a hissing sound on your newly purchased iPhone 7 or 7 plus? However, Apple’s customer support is presently asking affected users to ship the defective handset for a replacement via Apple Store, suggesting it could be a hardware problem. It’s not supposed to make the users feel better, I know. It will not be easy if you want a replacement phone against your faulty device because the supplies are already extremely tight.
