iPhone 7 owners report hearing infuriating hissing noise coming from the £920 device
It's thought handset's high-powered chip could be source of the sound, though Apple are yet to comment
AN INFURIATING hissing noise is afflicting Apple’s latest iPhone, reports claim.
Disgruntled owners of the device have shared their dissatisfaction with the issue online.
It’s speculated that the handset’s high-powered processor is responsible for the sound.
The problem - referred to as coil noise or coil whine - is familiar to users of high-powered computers.
It crops up when the chip is under heavy load and there is little that can be done to fix it.
It is unclear how widespread the issue currently is.
Tech giant Apple has so far refused to comment on reports.
Blogger Stephen Hackett filmed his handset hissing.
