Dozens of people on the MacRumors forums, Apple’s support forum, and Reddit have reported experiencing the issue. It was also present on one phone owned by a Verge editor.Apple said in a statement that the issue only comes up in a “small number” of cases and that the company is working on a software update to fix the problem. “We are aware of the issue which is affecting customers in a small number of cases,” an Apple spokesperson said. “Our team is at work on a fix, which will be included in an upcoming software release.”It’s not clear what’s causing certain iPhones to be affected. The problem seems to impact both the 8 and 8 Plus, and owners indicate that it’s happening across different carriers and in different parts of the world, too.The crackling only occurs during some phone and Facetime calls, though — it doesn’t happen during every single call, and it doesn’t show up when using the earpiece as a loudspeaker. That suggests it may be a software problem, like Apple is saying, since the hardware itself isn’t consistently displaying the issue.You can get a sense for what the crackling sounds like in the video below — you’ll probably need to wear headphones to hear itThe noise sounds like sharp pops at the very edge of the earpiece. While it wasn’t totally disruptive during the call I heard it on, it did sound a little odd and annoying.Apple didn’t offer a timeline on when the bug fix would be shipped, but it typically issues multiple updates in the weeks and months after putting out a new phone and operating system.This is the second software fix Apple has promised for one of the new devices it shipped this month. A software issue with the Apple Watch Series 3 caused the Watch to connect to unauthenticated Wi-Fi networks instead of handing off to LTE, leading to some real problems, in our testing, with the device’s flagship feature. The iPhone 8 issue seems to be less of a problem, but it’s still an annoyance for some of the device’s earliest buyers.:[YOUTUBE]zKDVkSMMPNU[/YOUTUBE]</blockquote>
