Most people didn’t, but it’s showing that you can purchase a model that cost the price quoted

Some 2018 MacBook Pro Owners Experiencing Crackling Speakers

Worse and worse.
Current list of issues:
- Throttling in Bootcamp. Yes, Apple’s patch only fixed it on High Sierra and Mojave. No Bootcamp patch yet.
- Speakers Crackling
- Bridge OS Kernel Panic (MacRumor posted an article about it last week and it is still not fixed by Apple)
That’s all within a 30 days time frame. Imagine what could come out later. We don’t even know if the keyboard condom is an actual fix or not.
Don't lose time, there are 3 type of people, those who hate anything Apple does and criticize it, those who love it no matter what and will tell you it is the user fault, and then there are smart people who like what there is to like and criticize what is to be criticized (and pretend what they paid for), the 3rd group makes too much sense for the others 2 to understand
The wife would think I was farting my brains out from across the room if my Mac was making those sounds.
Hyperbole. All of Apples products are expensive. Point is, I could make the counter argument about other tech products experience issues that cost XYZ and make it a bigger deal than what it is. You don’t need to exacerbate your post by adding “Five seconds of testing”, when you yourself have no idea what kind of testing went into the MacBook Pro.
Well they need to raise HomePod sales.
If it doesn't perform as advertised, how is that a non-issue?
Not everyone is experiencing that “Issue.”
If everyone was experiencing it, it would not be an issue but a disaster
An issue is not something happening to everyone, just saying...
Sometimes I wonder what would make Apple Fanboys complain, if there is anything Apple could ever do wrong to their eyes, and to think I was one of those "evangelist", thank God I grew up
>What’s the price have to do with anything?
Price should be somewhat related to quality and effort put into putting out a quality product.

"It just works!"
It’s been ridiculous the amount of issues with the latest Macbook Pros. These are the type of things that shouldn’t have passed their Quality Control.

And so much for the Apple quality on the brand new Macbook Pro.
First keyboard, then speakers... they need to get their act together...
Sadly, that shows how much they care about the Apple computers...

It's happening randomly at certain frequencies. Mostly appears in volume controls.
Don't test with this song because it crackles like **** on any sound system since the 90s ;D

Ask anyone that uses pretty much any computer ever designed the same question. Bugs and the like aren't specific to Apple or any other manufacturer.
when you say "some" is that like...... every 3 or 4 out of every 10? Every 1 out of 10? Every 1 out of 1,000? 1 out of 10,000? 1 out of 100,000?
****, my ridiculously expensive SUV with an equally ridiculously expensive stereo makes some weird ass cracking on very specific songs too.
The total time it takes to drive to the dealership and then to have them do a replacement far exceeds my give a damn and willingness to even do it.
I know which songs cause it, they are not ones I listen to that often, I have removed those songs from my playlist forever.
So until this affects actual music I listen to on a daily basis, may the crackle live on. In silence...

This is the MacBook Pro’s way of telling you that your music tastes suck! Stop hurting your MBP!
Not a single issue on my 2018 15". I feel like I won the lottery.
Exactly. $500 Inspiron? No one would probably care. If I'm paying what Apple is charging for the Touch Bar models? I expect damn near perfection. That's the whole point of paying the price premium.
I’ve played with +10 MBP2018 models, and neither have this issue. For people that complain that Apple should “have spent more than 5 seconds” doing quality control, how many million of computers should Apple bother to produce just for internal testing? Clearly very few machines are affected. Just head into an AppleStore and get it replaced.
And no, computers were not free of errors when Steve ran the company.

that's not crackling, as you would hear with a blown speaker, that's some sort of electrical interference. I don't think a software patch is going to fix this problem. I predict a recall sometime in the future.
I have no idea what you are talking about. . . . The top of the superdrive bezel and the paint on my TiBook *never* cracked / flaked.
/s
So it looks like I’m going to have extra money to put towards other tech purchases this year.
It'll all get fixed and be part of the past soon. But in the mean time have fun.
