iPhone 8/Plus (Fixed in 11.0.2) Iphone 8 plus crackling static noise in earpiece during calls

Just another data point - 256gb iphone 8+, silver, verizon. Most calls with subtle crackling. I plan to return if there is no software fix within the 14 day return period. Feel as though getting a second device will be a crapshoot and it seems most are still having issues irregardless. Have tried all the tricks posed in the prior 20 pages of this forum - nothing works.
Double sucks, cuz my iphone 6s is waiting to get an activation lock issue fixed - others have reported on a separate forum - where, despite having purchased the phone myself from apple, an unknown email is associated with icloud. Super annoying. No need to discuss this issue here on this forum though...

I think someone should start a thread here : https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/iphone_hardware
Actually there's already one thread about the issue, at least one that I know about:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/32254334#32254334
They fail to catch this very widespread and obvious issue during field testing, issue no official word on acknowledging the problem (while at the same time offering a statement on watch lte connectivity issue almost immediately), release a patch that has no fix and still no official statement (even something along the lines of: We acknowledge the problem and are working hard to identify the cause and provide a solution). Disgusting.
Hasn’t fixed for me. First 3 calls were good. Then call 4 and 7 weren’t. ☹️
It’s unbelievable that a company like Apple can put out something with such a widespread fault. And not fix it urgently. Unless it’s hardware and as others have said, they’ll ignore it and quietly fix it for a future production run hoping that most people won’t notice.
Seriously considering non iOS alternatives now.
