Is anyone else's Iphone 7 plus creaking? Noticed it when pressing next to the home button.
Took it out the case and if you grab the top and bottom it will creak with slight movement or the smallest twist.

Have not heard it. It seems to only happen when the iPhone is under a heavy load...game, etc. that's what I had read. I have the iPhone 7 plus silver, 256gb

I have it, but literally if I have to jam my ear to the phone its not an issue IMO. Plus I hear similar on my older iPhones and the gadgets, so silly this "issue" yes some people have it, but if you have to stick your ear to the phone backwards in a silent room thats just not a concern IMO. It doesn't have any issues with my calls, video, gaming anything. Had that thread never started, I never would have even heard the sound.

Probably from the capacitors. My wrt1900ac router does the same thing when the radios are transmitting.

I hear the exact same level of noise from my iP7 and iP6 when pressed up to my ears. I never noticed it on the 6 in the 2 years I've had it.

Mine does it as well

I'm also getting Rattle noise on longer vibrations that some apps use.
