    Major AirPods Pro microphone problem with no fix?

    AirPods Pro are faulty when handling their microphones. Not only does it effect call quality, but also dictation, Siri, and voice memos. Siri and dictation never gets what I’m saying correctly 90% of the time. When I go into voice memos, it will always sound very muffled at the beginning and...

    I have a new iPhone 8 Plus, and I've been having a pretty consistent problem with callers not being able to hear me very well. The first couple times I assumed it was a bad connection, but now it seems consistent enough that it's likely a problem at my end. This is my fifth iPhone since 2007...
