If y'all're spending hundreds of dollars on a new iPhone 12, yous want to make sure information technology's properly protected. But the concluding matter yous want is to pay for an iPhone 12 case that's defective and interferes with how the phone works.

That's happened more than once it seems, with multiple users voicing their frustrations about Apple-made iPhone 12 cases that don't have speaker holes in them. And they're kind of necessary if you want to utilize the phone's speakers for, well, anything.

There are at least 2 Reddit threads documenting cases where users purchased an iPhone 12 Pro instance and constitute themselves without whatever speaker holes. Sticking the iPhone 12 into i of these cases would muffle the born speaker at best, or at worst go far completely useless.

And these aren't just any cases, they're Apple's new MagSafe cases that lock your phone in identify when you're recharging.

Reddit user u/zarnold16 claims that Apple tree client support hasn't been particularly helpful about the issue, even going so far as to claim the case was supposed to come without speaker holes. Naturally, they didn't believe that explanation, and other users confirmed they'd purchased the same case without the missing speaker holes.

Is anyone else getting flashbacks to the iPhone 4's "you lot're property information technology wrong" debacle?

u/zarnold16 was eventually told to become to the Apple Store to exchange the case before launch solar day, while u/Natebaako said they were able to substitution the case without issue. Apple tree Store employees were apparently shocked to see such a strange defect. So clearly the result isn't very well known at the moment.

There are just a pocket-sized number of cases being reported right now, so if y'all have an Apple MagSafe iPhone 12 case on the way you probably won't have this issue. That said quality control isn't perfect, and should you find yourself missing the speaker hole (or suffering from any other manufacturing problems) contact Apple tree support. Or head downwardly to the Apple Store to exchange it for one that isn't defective.
