iPhone 17 Pro / Max Reportedly Has Static Speaker Noise Issue When Charging

Apparently, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max has static speaker noise problem when the phone is charging.

This is being reported by some users across various different social media sites, with some of them complaining having static hissing noise that occurs when phone is put to charge.

One user over at Apple Community forums described it as: “I’ve tested this with both an official Apple cable and charger, and the issue is still present. This sound can also be heard even when no audio is playing, although it’s a bit quieter in that case.”

Another user described it as follows:

Same problem. But to test it people have to use their phone, open apps like TikTok for example, but with sound lvl 0 (no sound, off). If your phone is plugged, and even more if you’re charged at max level (with a limit or not doesn’t matter), you will hear the buzzing noise from the left speaker even louder. It’s like if the speaker was on, able to produce sound, but since your sound level is at 0, there’s just a hissing noise. If you scroll TikToks with no sound you will hear it even more. Phone off, or just on but without using anything or any apps, it will still be there but in a faint way, barely noticeable. Try again please. Of course in a quite room it’s better.

MrAfshin over on YouTube has published a video which shows the issue in action:

While Apple hasn’t acknowledged the problem yet, one user on Reddit claims he has contacted Apple about it and Apple Support has forwarded it to their engineers to investigate. While we haven’t heard anything officially from Apple on this yet, it’s expected Apple will likely fix this in a software update some time in future.
