Dozens of iPhone 8 users have been complaining about annoying crackling sound in the device's speaker during telephone conversation. The effect manifests itself irregularly, which gives reason to talk about its programmatic nature. Apple acknowledged the problem and promised to release an update.

Crack in dynamics

Some iPhone 8 owners complain about problems with the speaker of the device: during a call, it emits an annoying crackle - a sound similar to static noise. Already several dozen users have posted their complaints on the Apple support forums and MacRumors, as well as on the Reddit resource. The Verge reports that the problem also manifested itself on the device owned by the editorial staff.

In response to complaints, Apple released an official statement saying that such an effect is indeed observed on " a small amount» iPhone 8, and what the company is already developing software update to eliminate it. Apple did not give specific dates for the rollout of the update.

It is difficult to say for sure what exactly causes crackling in the dynamics, writes The Verge. The effect is observed when using both the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, different operators communications in different parts of the world. The crackling is heard both during phone calls and when talking on Facetime, however, in both cases, not every time. When the speaker is used for speakerphone, the noise disappears. The irregular manifestation of the effect speaks in favor of the fact that this is a software flaw, since the hardware is able to work normally.

Specifications for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus

The new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus smartphones, two weeks ago, received a modern glass case, but at the same time almost completely inherited the design of the iPhone 7, and even the iPhone 6 of 2014.

Diagonal iPhone screen 8 is the classic 4.7 inches (Retina HD, IPS, 1334 × 750 pixels), the iPhone 8 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen (Retina HD, IPS, 1920 × 1080 pixels); the weight of the devices is 148 g and 202 g, respectively.

iPhone 8 has speaker issues

Both devices received the same 64-bit A11 processor with Bionic architecture, a neural system and an integrated M11 motion coprocessor as the flagship iPhone X.

iPhone 8 received a 12 megapixel main camera with ƒ/1.8 optics and 5x optical zoom. The iPhone 8 Plus model received a dual main camera similar to the iPhone X, but with the key difference that the lenses are located horizontally. Both smartphones also record 4K video at up to 60 frames per second.

Both new items support wireless charging technology.

Problems with Apple's new products

Noise in iPhone dynamics 8 isn't the only problem with Apple's new products. The FaceID user's facial recognition system, which is equipped with the just introduced iPhone X, at the first public demonstration. Theoretically, it is enough for the owner of a smartphone to look at the screen for the system to “recognize” his face and unlock the device. However, when on iPhone presentations X senior vice president of Apple Craig Federighi(Craig Federighi) tried to unlock the device right on stage, the recognition system didn't work the first time.

In addition, on the eve of the start of shipment of new Apple Watch Series 3, which launched on September 22, 2017, Apple is having issues with its LTE connection. When the wearer walks some distance from their smartphone with the watch on their wrist, the Series 3 will begin to pick up the Wi-Fi networks around them and attempt to connect to them - instead of connecting to cellular network. Series 3 pre-orders opened on September 15, 2017. LTE connectivity is the most notable addition to Series 3.

iPhone X, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus owners complain about problems with Wi-Fi operation. Some people are unable to connect to Wi-Fi networks, receiving a message about entering the wrong password, while others constantly disconnect the connection or the data transfer rate is very low.

The main reason for these problems is the Wi-Fi module, which is installed in the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Fortunately, in most cases, the problem can be solved using one of the methods listed below.

1. Force reboot your smartphone

Please note that the way to force restart on new iPhone models has changed. Here's how it's done on the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and 8 Plus:

• Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
• Quickly press and release the Volume Down button.
• Hold down the Side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

2. Disconnect from the Wi-Fi network and reconnect

If a message appears about the incorrect password entry, but you entered it correctly, then try clicking "Forget Wi-Fi network" and then reconnect to it.

To do this, go to "Settings" → "Wi-Fi" and click "Forget this network". After that, return to the "Wi-Fi" menu and try to connect to the network again.

3. Reset network settings

Most issues can also be resolved by resetting your network settings. This will delete all data associated with Wi-Fi networks. To do this, go to "Settings" → "General" → "Reset" and select "Reset network settings".

4. Disable VPN

If you have changed VPN in settings or via special application try disabling the VPN. This can be done in the menu "Settings" → "General" → "VPN". If you downloaded a special application, disable the VPN in it.

5. Turn off Wi-Fi services

Go to "Settings" → "Privacy" → "Location Services" → "System Services" and activate the switch " WiFi networks". This only applies to the use of your geolocation, so Wi-Fi will not turn off completely.

6. Set a different DNS

Often problems arise due to DNS servers that are not configured correctly. In this case, you can switch to Google DNS or OpenDNS. To do this, go to "Settings" → "Wi-Fi", select the desired network and click on the icon in the form of the letter "i". Enter the following values ​​in the Router and DNS field.

Slowly but surely, the number of users complaining about a swollen battery in the iPhone 8 Plus is growing. Recently, information about three such cases appeared on the network, and now there are about ten of them. The American publication TechCrunch reported that Apple has officially launched an investigation into all cases of swollen batteries.

All users who have posted pictures of the iPhone 8 Plus with a swollen battery claim that they charged the devices with Apple's proprietary cable and adapter. One of the victims reported that the battery swelled even before unpacking the gadget. It is worth noting that in none of the cases the deformed battery caught fire.

According to Reuters, Apple representatives confirmed that the company was investigating and seized faulty gadgets from users, but they declined to comment on the situation.

It is possible that the problem with batteries in some copies of the iPhone 8 Plus is a factory defect of the first batch, which companies encounter in the first month after the start of production of equipment. In any case, it remains to wait for Apple's official statement and sympathize with all affected buyers.

Hello, my friends and visitors of the site!

Already on the way to the top of the apple pyramid, today we will talk about the iPhone 8Plus, which does not serve me for long, but enough to understand its advantages and disadvantages.

In general, initially I did not even think about this model as a future acquisition because of its disastrous large sizes. But don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say.

PACKAGING AND COMPLETE SET

Honestly, I'm already a little tired of describing exactly the same external data of apple boxes. It's the same story here. This box is no different from the "clothing" of its predecessors, except perhaps in size.

The package includes several items.

1. Charger.

Consists of adapter and USB cable.

2. Stereo headphones.

3. Key-clip.

To quickly extract nanosim. Without a key, getting it out of there is very, very difficult.

4. Small inserts with instructions.

Absolutely useless. The iPhone has become so intuitive that it is completely incomprehensible for what or whom Apple constantly stains good glossy paper with its scribbles.

But Apple's warranty obligations can be read, although they are also in the phone itself. Warranties cover a period of one year, but now most dealers will offer you to extend the warranty to three years and insure your "bull's eye" from theft, falling, drowning and other cases that conventional insurance does not cover. It will cost about 1500-2500 rubles, so if you do not consider yourself a neat user, then why not?

4. Stickers.

They just kill me. These sizes are definitely made for show-offs, where to glue them? On the forehead? Threw it away. If you know their real use, write in the comments.

5. In theory, there should also be a lightning minijack, but for some reason I didn’t have it, and it doesn’t appear in the description, although it should. Interesting.

Starting with the iPhone 6, Apple decides not to experiment too much with the appearance of phones. The changes, if any, are so microscopic that basically users determine which iPhone is in front of them only by the size of the device. Whether it's good or bad, everyone decides for himself.

The iPhone 8 Plus (as in the regular "eight") added glass backs. This is made for wireless chargers that do not work through metals. The glass case looks quite interesting, depending on the lighting, it can “play” with light. Its glossy, stylish surface, pleasant to the eye, will appeal to those who appreciate fashionable solutions in everything.

However, beauty here goes hand in hand with fragility, although the manufacturer claims otherwise. It’s scary to wear such a phone without a case, but then what’s the use of a beautiful case if you can’t see it? The glass body is not very susceptible to scratches, but he loves fingerprints very much.

Dimensions ... how much pain in this simple word. Even if we omit the fact that the phone weighs a whole ton (202 g for a smartphone is a big figure), then its dimensions are still depressing and cause a strong association with a shovel. Of course, the hand gets used to everything, and to this weight too. But picking up any other phone, you acutely feel how heavy the 8 plus is.

Apparently, such a thing as ergonomics is simply unfamiliar to Apple designers and designers. With an absurdly large size, the G8's screen is only 5.5 inches - this is very small, because the same iPhone X with much smaller sizes gives the consumer a 5.7-inch screen. Where is the logic? About competitors who, with the same size, already offer 6.3 inches, I am completely silent.

Working with a smartphone with two hands is the last century, in which Apple easily returns its customers without batting an eyelid. Even if you're a giant and have the wide hand of a basketball player, wielding this phone with one hand will be a pain in the ass. In the end, such actions will lead your device somewhere in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe legs.

Based on the size, some functional solutions that used to be convenient here are simply a failure. For example, the screen with the settings sliding down is simply unimaginably ridiculous. Logically, he should now drive to the right or left to do it with one hand.

To summarize the design, I consider it a failure. Too big, too uncomfortable and, most importantly, UNDESIGNED.

CONTROLS

They also did not experiment with their location. On the left are two volume switches, as well as a walker to activate the silent mode.

On the right is the screen on/off button and the SIM tray.

Below the bars is one speaker lightning connector.

In the center is the familiar “Home” button, which in fact is no longer such. Now it's a platform with Taptic engine technology, which has a built-in vibration motor. In the settings you can adjust the degree of pressing, it is very convenient. There is also a built-in fingerprint - it works flawlessly and at lightning speed.

The front camera is on top, the main dual camera is on the back. The photo shows how much it sticks out of the main body. This problem solves the silicone case.

According to the IP67 standard, you can drop your iPhone 8 Plus into water to a depth of no more than a meter and nothing will happen to it. I do not know, did not check, I believe in the word.

As for the build quality, there is no question - it is high, the buttons sit securely in their nests, do not hang out and do not fall out. The SIM tray is a bit tight due to the same standard, but I don't consider this a disadvantage.

I already mentioned that the display here is only 5.5 inches, which does not correspond to the size of a smartphone at all. In addition, the 8 plus frames do not have the roundness familiar to a wide range of users. In other words, this display cannot be called keeping up with the times.

But I have absolutely no complaints about the quality of the transmitted picture. Color rendition is accurate, color balance is maintained. Perhaps in the sun and in difficult lighting conditions, it will not give such good results, since it is not technically capable of this. Still, a typical iPhone consumer will be quite satisfied with such a display. It is not the best in its segment and for its price, but still remains at the level.

Touch ID works flawlessly, quickly and clearly. In general, the sensor feels more sensitive, as it reacts to the most gentle touch. The exception is the moment when you touch the screen with a wet hand, in which case it does not always work.

The screen is quite large, so watching movies/reading something is very convenient.

non-removable Li-Ion battery at 2675 mAh - a sad moment that will be the subject of fierce attacks on the iPhone for a long time to come. And well deserved. In an age when people use phones a lot and often, charging them every day and several times is an unacceptable waste of time.

I think many have already heard that this model has set an anti-record in terms of charging speed. To achieve 100% from 0, you will need to wait as much as 180 minutes. This is really a lot. Of course, you can buy fast charging (fork out another 5000) and reduce the time to 120 minutes, but this does not really save the situation.

In fact, I have enough charge for the whole day, in the evening I drag myself to the outlet. If, God forbid, I didn’t charge it in the evening, then by morning I already see critical 10%, or even less.

I can note only one small "plus" in favor of the battery. Movies (and videos in general) "eat" the charge not as fast as this representative of the iPhone. Perhaps this is only because the phone is new, but subjective sensations are as follows.

In general, the small capacity of the battery is another problem that Apple is in no hurry to solve.

SPECIFICATIONS

3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory - quite modest for appetites modern user smartphone, especially if he likes to take pictures and shoot videos. However, for me, after 16 GB in an old phone, such numbers seem prohibitively large. Having learned to immediately delete the excess, and throw off the necessary to the "Cloud", I do not experience problems with the amount of memory.

It is surprising when users write that the disadvantage of this model is the inability to expand the memory using a card. This is not a minus, but a fact, and a well-established one, even children know it, it did not suddenly appear after the release of a new device. Why take a phone with a nuance, which is known in advance and which does not suit you? A similar situation with the second tray for the SIM card.

iPhone 8 Plus is equipped with the A11 Bionic processor. For me, this means very fast applications, significant scrolling speed, the ability to keep many tabs open in the browser, although I have to admit that in this case, it can sometimes react sharply to opening / closing tabs. The iOS system itself is still stable, it works flawlessly. This is one of those advantages for which I basically appreciate the iPhone.

Here we come, practically, to the most important thing. Pro front camera I don’t want to say much, as 7 MP is a modest result, and for the same money, competitors offer front cameras with much more powerful performance and best quality photographs, respectively.

As for the main dual camera, it has only two differences from the iPhone 7 Plus. First, the Slow Sync function has been added to the flash. Secondly, "portrait" mode now has 5 lighting options. In my opinion, the photo quality is excellent, as Apple has done for a very long time. Here are some photos of normal HDR mode, which, by the way, the iPhone 8 Plus turns on automatically.

This camera does not have optical stabilization.

With the "portrait" mode, I worked for the first time on the iPhone. If you are switching to iPhone 8 Plus from any other iPhone except 7 plus, then you will be very pleased with the options for this mode. At least I was in awe of what beautiful photos you can get with them.

How bright and vibrant the colors are! It seems to me that even in reality they are not so saturated. This is the "portrait" mode - studio light.

However, this mode is quite “raw”, I will show it with specific examples. There is no doubt that a smartphone takes good pictures of people. How about dogs? Let's complicate the task of the regime and let the dog be in the aviary.

Background gaps do nothing to add beauty to the photo. I note that when people are the subject of shooting, I did not notice this.

What about inanimate objects? The squirrel in the "contour light" mode turned out great.

Consider each of the options for a "portrait" on the example of a toy.

Daylight. Again we see problems with the background, which also persist in subsequent photos.

Studio light.

contour light.

Stage lighting is in beta on the iPhone 8 Plus. I have not been able to establish relations with him yet, I have not yet received a single really worthy photo.

Mono stage lighting. It is more pleasant to work with him, since the absence of colors can often hide some shooting errors.

When the photo is already taken in portrait mode, you can change the lighting option in the settings. In the toy example above, these are five different photos.

Many claim that this model has problems with macro photography, but I have never encountered this yet. Focusing fuses with its task. Photo "live".

We conclude that the intelligent "portrait" mode is not yet sufficiently intelligent. It needs to be improved, but already now you can get amazing quality photos with a little effort.

GENERAL IMPRESSIONS

The main problem of this phone, in my opinion, is that at a high price it is no longer the best in terms of functionality and stuffing compared to its competitors. Many decisions here are the last century. Yes, he's good, but not great, and that's how it should be. For the same money, Samsung gives out much more advanced flagship models, which the iPhone 8 Plus, in essence, is not, being only a passing model.

If you add here the ridiculously large size and rather small diagonal of the screen, as well as the high cost even today, you get a smartphone that is not worth the money. Even the amazing quality of the photo cannot cover other very significant shortcomings.

What are the BENEFITS:

Stylish appearance, the glass body looks beautiful;
+ display, color reproduction;
+ camera, portrait mode gives more opportunities to get excellent quality photos;
+ home button with Taptic engine technology;
+ stable iOS work;
+ very slowly falling in price, you can always sell.

AND CONS:

An ill-conceived design that makes some of the previous functional solutions ridiculous, useless and inconvenient;
- dimensions;
- the glass body is fragile, it is not possible to wear it without a case;
- slow charging;
- Battery capacity;
- non-compliance with the modern requirements of an ordinary smartphone user;
- no optical image stabilization;
- unimaginably high price tag even after 1.5 years of sales start.

There is no bad without good, as you know. Compared to the iPhone X, this model is significantly cheaper in price, and also has a number of advantages that users have already become accustomed to over 10 years of life in the iPhone universe, for example, Touch ID. It is simpler, clearer and not much inferior to its expensive brother in terms of shooting quality. I recommend to buy iPhone smartphone 8 Plus will not.

See you soon online :)

10/27/19. On the this moment phone works flawlessly. Does not hang, does not buggy, is updated according to the schedule. Lags and other things are not found. All cons are still present.
