iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus iPhones are also suffer with poor
mic issue as the people they are talking with on call are telling that they
cannot hear voice properly during calls. Other side callers claim they here
windy noise and voice drops out. Same issue was reported with iPhone 7 and it
was later found to be a hardware issue in the phone for many cases. The call
quality is very poor from iPhone 8 plus speaker and even just to make sure that
nothing is blocking the mic, mic problem
occurs with and without phone case even when removed the glass protector.
