iPhone woes
It would appear that my iPhone is suffering some issues with the microphone lately. I will be on a phonecall chatting away happily, then suddenly the caller won’t be able to hear me at all. I can then hang up from that call and try to record a voice memo, and the microphone works perfectly.
I first noticed it on Sunday during a phone call to my Dad, but at that time it was making a lot of static noise.
