It was meant as a compliment..recently there have been people from Apple, on their own accord, helping people here. I was helped and it was amazing.
..in fairness.. I have been known as a bit of a smart***
Oh so they don't make it an IOS update it'll always be available only to developers?
No, it'll be available as a normal update in a few weeks. Depends how long they run the beta for.
If you are considering this path, I highly recommend the Public Beta, not the Developers Beta. It’s easy to do via the Apple Public Beta .. but keep in mind.. you may get new bugs.
Aside from everything that's already been said, I'd like to add that the iPhone 8 is gorgeous. So happy with it.
Actually it’s probably more, a lot of people might have the crackling noise but just didn’t noticed it.
I didn’t noticed mine (thought it’s just some random noise) until I read about this issue and now when I listen for it, it is there.
So it’s possible it’s more than just a small number of users.
iOS 11.1 definitely seems to have fixed the popping issue for me.
Only had a few phone calls today but the crackling noise does seem fixed in 11.1B1 for me too.
Ok, you can either wait a few weeks or get it another way. I don’t have a developer account and I have the beta.
Ok thanks! This was very helpful.
Me too!! I love this phone. I don't regret getting it even with the crackle lol

follow this. I was looking into it and decided not to do it. I'll wait for the update.
Hold off on 11.1 for now. It did fix the popping issue on my 8+, but there were some new bugs and I ended up going back to 11.0.1.
It’s at least good to know it is a software issue.

With this beta profile. Download/install at your own risk, I think it's safe but it's still the internet!

I have the crackling issue with my 8+ 256, space grey, unlocked with a Verizon sim.
It is not with every phone call.
My son has the same phone and I have no crackling during calls with him.
My daughter also has the same phone and I do have crackling with every phone call with her.
I installed the update Apple released today (11.0.1) and I still had the crackling when I talked with my daughter.

Just upgraded to the first developer beta of iOS 11.1 (15B5066f). The static clicking sound seems to have been reduced or resolved. However, the voice of the other party still sounds muffled--definitely not as clear as my previous iPhone 7. I tried calling 611 (T-Mobile) five times and 1-866-210-2157 several times.
It is just me? Anyone having the same experience? I will make a long FaceTime audio call later tonight to verify
EDIT - never mind! Tried a short FaceTime audio call (through receiver), and it was fine. Could just be me. I would say iOS 11.1 did indeed improve the situation

Two 1 minute calls to this number. First call no crackling, even turning speakerphone on/off. Second call no crackling until speakerphone on/off. 11.0.1
Does the voice sound muffled to you, in a quiet room, with volume set to around level 6? It could just be the quality of this number though. The quality of my FaceTime audio call was acceptable to me, just slightly muffled, no static noise so far
EDIT- called that number again, the muffling is gone! I guess that is intermittent too...
EDIT 2- yep, intermittent indeed...called 1-866-210-2157 two more times, the first was crystal clear, second was muffled from the beginning
