Thanks for the information. Is it overnight shipping, 2 day shipping, regular ground, etc?
Got a tip for us?

Ooh a guessing game, you don't happen to work on the engineering team responsible for the iPhone 7 do you?
edit: on second thought this might be a bad joke, please don't take offense to anything I've said, I didn't mean any!

THe UPS site has not updated with estimated delivery date however the email from Apple confirming tracking number says I should receive it in "about" two business days so probably the 2 day shipping you are alluding to.
I don't believe you. The phones do make noise yes; not arguing that fact because I have it. But the phone has to be under load and within an inch of your ear. What exactly is the phone doing while sitting on the couch? If it's that bad then swapping it out will clear "your" problem. But it won't fix the issues that we have.
That guy with the video had to put the phone on top of his laptop mic for it to be picked up. We basically already knew this. But move that phone away a few inches you can't hear it.
This is complete nonsense, Sony Xperia phones are known to have by far the best image stabilization.
And they definitely have zero hissing while recording, I can tell by sure as my wife got one.
Are known by whom? Sony fanboys? Jeezzz. Full of people that profoundly irritated by my post... what's the matter?
Who did you speak to? Because I have the same issue + another, and they're transferring me to the shipping department
I co-ordinated everything via online chat. Whilst at work I dont have the luxury of sitting on the phone with them.
Because you don't have a clue what you are talking about! And you're calling people fanboys and shills all the while defending Apple to the hilt...
Sorry but your posts are just strengthening the impression that you got no clue about phones..

Don't bother trying to debate Zirel. He's consistently attempted to minimize the experience of others here, insisting he knows better/other when that is obviously not the case wrt to the very real sound. No amount of facts will convince him otherwise.
Classic gas lighting.
The very real electronic sounds made by my 7+ (usually though not exclusively when under load) has zero to do with OIS.
Bs they don't. My s7 edge just got one last night. It gets them at least once a month.
It's a known fact hissing and popping noise from inside the phone is not normal. You have already proven here you have no clue what you are saying.
I just spoke to apple about my issue. They told me I would have to go through AT&T and swap it out since it's during the 14 day period. If I do that then I'm without a phone until mid November. The issue I'm having is sounds on my videos. It's hard to describe but it almost sounds like the ocean or wind. I do have the hissing sound but it's only if I put my ear up to the back of the phone. Do you all have the sound I'm trying to describe on your videos? It is louder than the sounds that I'm actually taking video of such as my kids.
I wouldn't hire you after seeing how much you don't know about this discussion. You are better off working at McDonald's.
If I'm understanding you correctly, what they told you is incorrect. I purchased my 7 Plus through Verizon and just got authorized for a replacement via Apple. They can replace your phone. It won't be in the Apple retail packaging and it will be the new device only (no accessories, Apple Stickers, etc.)
Yes because I did "express replacement" which means they put a hold on my credit card for the full phone amount. The hold will be lifted when they receive my phone I sent back.
Your other option is to send in your phone and wait. This wasn't an option for me as I had no spare phone to use.
Public relations in overdrive. Oh dear me. The hissing problem in iPhone 7 exists, and it is bad for some users. Totally unrefined $£€1000 product. Customers should just return their faulty iPhone 7 devices for a complete refund.
My only concern with getting it replaced now is that the replacement will suffer the same issue. I may wait a few weeks and take it in then.
Looks like I have a Week 39 phone, en route for delivery tomorrow. 7 Plus 128GB.
haha real funny...

Honesty i bet every week model will hve some with more significant issues and others with less. but i don't think weeks will mean anything, because i doubt apple is going to change manufacturing.
I exchanged my week 37 for a brand new week 39 yesterday at the Apple Store. Still has these issues.
