I just got an iPhone 7 and have 3 complaints:
1. Everyone says I sound like I'm inside a tunnel - I can hear them fine, but my call quality going out is super choppy & digital.
2. When people talk, the phone physically vibrates from the speaker (not speakerphone, just when you hold it up to your ear). It also sounds very echo-y. It's like there's a hollow area around the earpiece speaker that is vibrating the phone itself & reflecting the sound as a tiny echo.
3. The vibrate motor for silent alerts like SMS or calls is super weak. I've missed a lot of calls because I can't feel it buzz.
Fresh, out-of-the-box iPhone 7, only had it a few days. No case to interfere. Disabled wi-fi assist, but that didn't help. Did the usual reboot, reset network settings, etc. I'm having Verizon send me a new one, just not sure if that's the norm or if I get a lemon. Pretty much the worst iPhone I've ever had. On the flip side, the camera is great & having 256 gigs of storage is awesome.
