Hey everyone, Just wanted to share a quick update on the "grey noise" issue some of us are experiencing with the new iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Issue: My 512GB model makes a distinct grey noise/hissing sound when it's plugged in and I open the Camera app. What I Did: I contacted Apple Support through the official app and was escalated to a Senior Support Engineer . They performed a full remote hardware diagnostic. The Official Response: Here's what they told me: Apple is aware of the issue. They are working on a software update to fix it (the diagnostics showed no hardware fault). They offered me a choice: wait for the update or replace the phone . My Decision: I declined the replacement. If it's a software bug, a new unit could have the same problem. My case remains open, and if the future update doesn't resolve it, they'll contact me for other options. I thought this was important info for fellow iPhone users ! So for now, we play the waiting game... ...
