Apple admits some iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models have disabled microphones during phone calls

 

Apple today admitted that some iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models running iOS 11.3 or later may have a bug that disables the microphone during phone calls, MacRumors spotted through a leaked document. The few users with the affected devices may see their speaker button grayed-out when making calls or video chatting through FaceTime. The issue seems to only affect phones running that version of iOS or versions after 11.3.
Some users on Reddit and Twitter have reported experiencing such microphone issues in the past few months and the leaked document, sent out to its Apple Authorized Service Providers network, apparently confirms Apple is aware of the problem.
Apple is recommending these tech support workers tell customers to first unpair or turn off any Bluetooth devices and accessories that were connected to their iPhones, as a possible solution. If that doesn’t work, tech support is also advised to run audio diagnostics, which will show if the iPhone needs repair with alert messages like “accessory not supported” or “device could not detect dock.” Once a message like that appears, the tech support can start fixing the iPhone. It’s apparently not clear from the document what the actual software or hardware issue is, notes MacRumors.
Even if the user doesn’t have a warranty covered device, Apple is making an exception and its store employees at the Genius Bar will fix the issue without question. The document apparently doesn’t say if the repair is free. We’ve reached out to Apple for comment.

President Milo Djukanovic had urged protesters to disrupt the inauguration of Joanikije II to the top clerical position, known as the Metropolitan of Montenegro and Archbishop of Cetinje. On Saturday, hundreds of protesters set up barricades to block access to Cetinje and the demonstrations spilled into Sunday when the ceremony took place. Police arrested more than a dozen people, including an advisor to the president. At least 20 people were injured, AFP reported. "We're on the barricades because we're fed up with Belgrade denying our nation, and telling us what are our religious rights," protestor Andjela Ivanovic tol

Talibans in Afghanistan now implementing manhunt to find targets

  It said the militants have been going door-to-door to find targets and threatening their family members. The hard-line Islamist group has tried to reassure Afghans since seizing power, promising there would be "no revenge". But there are fears the Taliban have changed little since the brutal 1990s. The warning the group were targeting "collaborators" came in a confidential document by the RHIPTO Norwegian Center for Global Analyses, which provides intelligence to the UN. "There are a high number of individuals that are currently being targeted by the Taliban and the threat is crystal clear," Christian Nellemann, who heads the group behind the report.  "It is in writing that, unless they give themselves in, the Taliban will arrest and prosecute, interrogate and punish family members on behalf of those individuals."
