i don't know why but i think you are not telling the truth.
Mine is hissing too, but to be fair can only hear it when i put my ear to the back in a quiet room otherwise cant hear anything.
To be honest I never would have known about the issue if it wasnt for this thread.
Its nothing to worry about and doesnt affect performance at all. Some say its the mic being oversensitve for it being picked up in videos.
Just enjoy it and if it gets louder or worse then Apple will happiy swap it out.

I also didn't believe how he treated this issue. I even asked for his name because I found the situation so unapple-like. He just explained everything really pragmatically and said that it is how it is and if I'm not happy I could try to return it where I bought it because if they would exchange it, the new phone would make the same noise.
I can give you his name in a private message and you can call him if you speak German.
Apple Germany knows no more than Apple USA does, we should speak Chinese to get an accurate information.
Ok, my matte black 7 Plus week 38 has the static "eeeee" in video recordings which I believed was just a microphone too sensitive. Today I received a gold 7 Plus from week 40 and the static high white noise in video recordings is not there!!! I am honestly surprised. I believed every 7 Plus would do that. The other videos in this thread showed that. But this one has just normal white noise, no static hissing etc.
i don't know why you are writing stupid things.
try to shut up a little instead of loose your time harrasing people that spent 1000$ with a defective device... thank you
Thats the thing! If the whine cant be heard whilst using the phone in day to day use. Then leave it i would say.
You may return it and end up with a device with much worse noise or lucky to get no noise.
The Apple logo at back was more louder when I just turn on the first time running octane test. Record and playback the hiss can be heard too. After I restore. The back Apple logo noise was minimal. Video playback hiss were gone.
I agree, it seems all 7+ has this issue but some are just fortunate to not being able to pick up the noise. In fact, if I listen hard enough in a silent room, I can hear it from the 4.7" 6s under heavy load as well, it is faint but definitely there.
At this point, I would likely advise people to only replace it if it is audible during phone calls or real use video recording. Mine has terrible high pitched white noise when I tested the video recording in a silent room, but does tremendously well when I took videos in real life, can't hear the high pitched noise etc for real usage. There is no certainty that a replacement phone would be softer than the one you have peeps.

you can find it easily just by googling keywords "Google Octane Test"... but here you go.. explanation of the test is right there as well.
