Don't trust this company anymore.
How come only 7/7+got this problem, not IPhone 5, 6 or any other model. And I believe 7/7 plus are the best IPhone right now. The new ones are not that good and I think this is a another apple trick to make you buy a new phone. Screw you Apple not this time.

      Well... clearly that's your Apple "tax" well spent? I would have thought years of iPhone success every quarter had taught them enough to dodge this sort of bullet better. Not really I guess.

          My iphone has low call volume bug.

          The work around is I have to turn on the speaker phone and lower the volume and then it is fine.

          This all happened after 11.3.1 update..

            Shanti Dope, 05 May 2018One thing, never ask third party authorized repair shops to have your phone fixed, especially ... moreThe authorized third party repair shop already disclaimed that they have no relationship from Apple, and that they don't follow to Apple's standards for repairing an Apple device.

            How can they be "authorized" if, like you quote, they have no relationship to Apple and they don't follow standards for repairing an Apple device?

              I won't mock Apple, but I have a very simple question...

              Don't they test their products after software updates themselves, within the company?

              I mean, how dumb is it to get yourself insulted in front of the world,
              Or is there some trickey/ special reason/ privacy violation attempt, behind getting these devices for repair?

The only think thats trully not swapable between then is theirs Biometric Sensors like Touch ID, since its paired with the logic board.

                  Apple has a history of things like this, like replacement screens not working after an update, fingerprint sensor not working after it being replaced when an update happened, not surprised by this at all.

                          When surveyed, 3/5 customers weren't even aware of the bug.

                                      Apple users can no longer brag about regular OS support. Almost ever new update comes with a bug, some more serious than others. Disabled mic?!? That eliminates THE NO. 1 function of a smartphone; to make calls. This is disgraceful tbqh.

                                        One thing, never ask third party authorized repair shops to have your phone fixed, especially when changing broken parts of an iPhone like ambient light sensor, fingerprint scanner, etc.
                                        REWA Technology from YouTube discovered that two similar iPhone 8's have different codes for their respective ambient light sensors. When the Phone A has its Sensor A plugged in with the Screen A, it works normally, but when Sensor B from Phone B is connected to Phone A with Screen A, ambient light sensor doesn't work.

                                        Another thing is, Apple sued a third party repair shop who was actually repairing a broken glass of an iPhone LCD in China, and when it was going to be returned to the customer that asked for repair, Apple sued them for 'counterfeiting' their product even when it's clear that it's mostly just 'refurbishing' or 'repairing.'
                                        The authorized third party repair shop already disclaimed that they have no relationship from Apple, and that they don't follow to Apple's standards for repairing an Apple device.
                                        At the end, Apple lost to them because the court from States approved no 'counterfeiting' happening from the authorized third party repair shop.


                                        These aren't any bs or fake news I'm saying.
