I forgot about that. THe camera is right next to the mic. I think the reason that it wasn't as discussed was because it was much quieter on previous iPhones. The A10 might need more power so it would make sense if you are hearing it for the first time.

Thanks for the very subtle suggestion. I will fix that.
Again hiss when placing the back of the phone near my ear under no load.
I have both JB and Matte Pluses' and they both do it.
My 6s plus is completely silent. Back to Apple it is!

The real problem of hissing issue is that the noise gets into the microphone when record video.
No hissing from my 7+ but I can hear the ocean when I put my ear up to the back.
Every time I think I've seen it all......up pops another thread that has me hysterical on the floor.
Ever notice how ever since the iPhone 7 / 7+ came out the moon has gotten smaller each night. Could Apple be behind this?........no wait, never mind it does that every lunar cycle......my bad.
Does commenting on these threads and bumping them to the top help?
I hear a hiss when I put the back of my phone right next to my face, but I'm not going to complain about it. Plenty of electronic devices make noises and I couldn't care less if my phone does from that angle. I'm not going to sleep on top of it so that my ear is on its back constantly; and if you do, or if it's a problem to you that you COULD hear it if you wanted to, then it's not the phone that needs to be replaced.
Also, listening to the iPhone's noises tells me that it's damn busy with whatever it's doing. So I appreciate the processing power it uses to complete my requests.

You can hear the hiss whenever I record video.
Edit: I think mine is just the mic picking up ambient noise. The hiss has a different sound to it.

So far 90% of hiss yes are 7+ users and around 30% of all users who participated. This is higher than a similar poll I did for bend gate 2 years ago
So you confess to starting all this up again with another gate. Plead guilty and we will give you a lighter sentence.
Trust me it's there if you run some heavy tasking e.g. Restoring from a backup you can hear it
He doesn't hear it. Why is it so important to rain on his parade. He is happy, why search for an issue? Go to a quiet room, put on a stethoscope and crank the phone processor up to maximum such that phone gets hot......now do you hear it? Total idiocy.
Two copies of the iP7 here. One is silent. The other has some pops and clicks under very heavy load, but you can't hear them unless the phone is pressed to your ear in a quiet room.
Most of the hiss that people report and make YT videos of is just ordinary mic hiss and has nothing to do with IC noise.

You mean that you can hear it on your phone. Don't try to tell him "it's there." I have two iP7 phones. One is actually silent. The other makes a little noise, but so little it's actually inconsequential in real life.

Thats what i think. And its louder bc the mic is better here that 6, 6S. Does yours get super hot tho? In the past this was the case for a week or two with new phones
Everyone that answers this poll should be testing by recording a video and then playing it back on their phone with max volume, I hear virtually nothing when just holding the phone next to my ear but the hissing in the recording is fairly loud compared to my 6S Plus that is virtually silent.
