Loop Disease or Audio Codec fault is very common on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. A tiny copper trace on the logic board is fractured as a result of being drop or the rear shell becoming bent.

The fix is to replace the audio ic chip and run a micro-jumper across the fractured trace. The repair is generally carried out over night, depending on work load, however we may require up to 7 days if there are other faults discovered.
