Why do the IPhone 6,6S,7 and others have this odd mic problem? Is it the new IOS 13 update, or is it a combination of software and hardware that is making IOS life difficult for some owners?
My thoughts are that the microphone's IC or processing chip is at the centre of this problem. It could be that the update to IOS 13 from earlier versions is not correctly "setting up" the audio services.
A lot of people that we have communicated with have managed to get back up and running after a complete factory reset.
Could this prove that the upgrade wasn't completed correctly by the phone's software and the reset allowed it to not have the software baggage for the previous install?
Maybe that is the case here? Although my personal opinion is it is more to do with wear and tear during the phone's life.
It has been shown of other IPhone repair videos that the microphone IC chip is soldered in a similar way to the old Nvidia graphics chips that were a big problem a few years ago, where people were having to reball or resolder the joints between a chip and the mainboard.
Apple themselves are offering repairs to the IC chip or offering discounted replacements for phones suffering from microphone problems.
The truth is, a lot of people are having microphone problems with IPhones and there doesn't seem to be, at the moment, any proven way of repairing the devices. It seems like you can try the usual methods of cleaning the mic and headset jacks, and if that doesn't work then do a factory reset, and if all else fails then the IC chip or microphone will possibly need to be repaired or replaced.
If there is any new information on this problem I will try and share it as soon as possible. And if you know of anything that could help please let me know either here or via the contact methods below.
