Apple’s chipset shipments increased to 18 pc in Q3 globally
Tech giant Apple’s chipset shipments increased to 18 per cent globally in the third quarter this year (from 13 per cent in Q2 2024), due to the launch of its A18 chipset.
Not a long after the launch of the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus last month, users began complaining about an issue of “crackling” or “static” sound through earpiece during calls. The weird noise issue reportedly popped on both the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus on different carriers.
Apple acknowledged the issue last week saying it occurred for a “small number” of users and it will be fixed soon.

The release of iOS 11.0.2 OTA update on Tuesday notes the fix for should ‘crackling sounds’ on iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus as well as addresses an issue that could cause some photos to become hidden. It also fixes an email bug where attachments in S/MIME encrypted emails would not open.
It’s still not clear what exactly triggered ‘crackling sounds’ on iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, but with an update fixing the issue suggests it was merely a software problem.
