Apple has reportedly acknowledged an issue with the microphone on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus handsets for users running iOS 11.3.
The problem, which causes owners of affected models to be unheard during phone calls or FaceTime sessions, was acknowledged in an internal document sent out to Apple Authorized Service Providers this week.
The issue has been reported through several online platforms since the iOS 11.3 update became available.
Posters on the Apple Support forums and Reddit have complained over the last few months, while iPhone have taken to Twitter to register the issue.
The document advises Apple technicians to disconnect any audio accessories or Bluetooth connections before running tests. If the problem persists following diagnostics, Apple is instructing service providers to provide free repairs, even for devices that are out of warranty.
Thankfully, the problem doesn't appear to be troubling too many iPhone users at this point. An Apple source told AppleInsider it was an "extremely rare problem, with a need for repair being rarer still."
Despite the emergence of the document, Apple is yet to publicly acknowledge the issue.
