Remember two years ago when the iphone 6 was released, the device was found to have bending issues nicknamed “BendGate”. Thankfully, we won’t have to worry about the iPhone 7 having the same bending issues the iPhone 6 did, but it has its own problem too.

Less than two week after its launch, some users of the recently launched iPhone(First noticed by Stephen Hackett from 512 Pixels) have been complaining of a hissing sound coming from the motherboard. And now, this particular problem is called the “Hissgate”.

Watch the video below and listen to the sound yourself.

This hissing sound is being triggered when the iPhone’s new A10 Fusion processor is being pushed hard by certain games and other demanding apps. At the moment it is unsure if this problem affects all iphones 7s, but according to Stephen, Apple said they’d replace his device after he reported the issue.
If this issue is not quickly solved, it could lead to serious problem for Apple just like the explosion issue of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

Apple IPhone 7 Reviews

Apple iPhone 7 is the 2016 refresh of the iPhone. The new iPhone with its bigger brother the iPhone 7 Plus offer upgrades to the iPhone 6S (the 2015 iteration) including a new home button, a better camera, a faster processor, improved battery life, and water resistance. iPhone 7 drops the 16GB storage option with the base model starting with 32GB built-in storage.

However, the most talked about change in the iPhone 7 is the dropping of the headphone jack (3.5mm audio jack). Instead, Apple expects you to use an Earphone that connects directly to the Lightning connector or use wireless earphones called AirPods.

The iPhone 7 will also offer an adapter that allows you connect a traditional earphone to the smartphone via the lightning port.

The Design

iPhone 7 comes with a similar design as the iPhone 6S. The size is about the same. However, like we said earlier the headphone jack has been dropped. Secondly, Space Grey has been dropped as a colour option.

In its place, Apple is introducing two new colours: Jet Black and Black. This two colours will join the existing Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold options. The iPhone 7 is water tight, making it the first iPhone to offer water resistance. iPhone 7 can survive in up to 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes.

The home button has been improved to offer taptic feedback.

The Display

On paper, the iPhone 7 seems to be offering the same screen as the 2015 iteration. It is essentially a 4.7-inch IPS Display with 750 x 1334 pixels resolution and 3D Touch.

However, Apple is claiming it is 25% brighter, which should result in better outdoor viewing. The new display supports a wider colour gamut, which should make for a more brilliant screen.

The Cameras

The iPhone 7 is offering some camera upgrades. On paper, the phone still offers a 12 megapixels sensor as its predecessor. However, the 12 megapixels sensor on the iPhone 7 is a completely new sensor that is faster and more energy efficient.
