Problem With My iPhone... Dangerous?

Noel7 · ‎03-09-2010

I take very good care of things, my iPhone is like new, never drooped, never near water, not a scratch on it. It must be around two years old now.

Yesterday I received a text and it sounded like a short in a speaker, cackling and hissing. I wasn't sure it was the phone then, it was around other electronics.

It happened again today when I got a text from my daughter. I turned it off and put it in the safest area around the house that I could think of, away from flamables and kitties.

Taking it in to the Apple store Saturday.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas?

Maybe you can call Apple in the meantime? (Do you still have a land line?)

My iPhone was about three months short of its second birthday when it just died.....for no apparent reason. I also took care of mine as you described, @Noel7....I think it just wore out. Got a new IPA...love it!

Good idea, thank you @Krimpette

I do have a landline. I also have an old fashioned phone I keep in a drawyer for power outages. I try to cover all the bases

Hi @alicedee

I am pretty sure I took out the extended care package, it should be covered. My daughter knows a few of the managers at our Apple store, they're really good about giving you a new phone. We'll go there.

ps I love the name Alice

I've had that happen to mine several times and its less than a year old. A crackling sound. But then it stopped. I think it was just something going on with the internet connections and I think it may have happened during rain or impending storm type weather (but may have happened other times, ;can't remember).

Thanks, @on the bay. I'm going to look online, see if I can find anything.
