Apple Rolls Out Fix for iPhone 12’s Silent Call Blues
Picture this: you’re on a call, the conversation is flowing, the jabber is perfect, and then—BAM! —your earbuds fall silent. Frustration? Check. Panic? Probably. That’s the reality many iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro owners have been dealing with since late 2020. Apple’s stepping in, but only for a thin slice of the fleet.
What’s the Deal?
- When it happened: Devices shipped from October 2020 to April 2021.
- The glitch: A faulty component in the receiver module means your phone can’t play sound during calls.
- Scope: Apple says this is a “very small percentage” of units—think of it as a tiny, but annoying, glitch in an otherwise stellar lineup.
- The aim: Fix the silent‑call problem so you can chat, talk, and lazily scroll through your ringtone list again.
What You Should Do
- Check your model and its production date. If it falls into the window above, you may qualify.
- Visit the Apple Service Program page (no poetry required—just a quick check).
- Schedule an appointment or drop your iPhone at an authorized center. They’ll swap out the faulty receiver module.
- Enjoy the sound—perhaps even with a little fresh air for the first call.
Apple’s not claiming it fixes everything, but if you’ve been stuck in a silent, mute‑mixed‑up moment, this is your rescue button. And yes—if you’re one of the lucky few, the fix won’t cost you a fortune; it’s part of their “Service Program for No Sound Issues.”
Bottom Line
Thanks to Apple, the day of “Who’s that guy loud and clear!” is only a memory for the mini‑group of iPhone 12 users who had that crappy silent‑call problem. Don’t wait—get checked in and get back to that smooth, audible conversation you know you’re meant to have.
