Small number of iPhone 18 Pro users report speaker ‘pops’ or ‘clicks’

A small number of iPhone 18 Pro users are reporting an issue where the speaker sometimes “pops” or “clicks,” describing it as a faint sound when doing things like switching apps … MacRumors spotted reports in its forums and on Reddit. There are enough of them to indicate that it is a real issue, but few enough to suggest that it’s not widespread. I have noticed that I would hear a popping noise coming from my upper or lower speaker, almost as if someone is pulling out a aux cord and you hear a brief click pop noise. I feel like it has happened a couple times during app switching and playing around with volume and possibly voice dictation. Reports of the variables involved don’t point to a consistent pattern, and some are suggesting it may be software rather than hardware related. I haven’t encountered it on my device. iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max cases Beats Woven USB-C cables Certified refurbished Apple products 15% off at apple.com Discounted AirPods Pro 3 Wireless CarPlay adapter 10-year AirTag battery case Logitech MX Master 4 for Mac Photo: Apple FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
