iPhone 7 speaker and mic issue

I purchased an iPhone 7 128GB Unlocked for $220, issue was that on phone calls you cant hear the other person, and they cant hear you. Speaker phone isn't an option. Also no microphone when recording video. But loudspeaker does work in the sound area of settings.  There was 2mns left in the auction, so I figured, “hey just need new front camera flex”. Won it, thinking it was going to be a good flip since those are cheap. Well after research I found out iPhone 7’s are having Audio IC issues. Also the newer versions of iOS are causing this issue. But iv read Apple is taking care of it when you bring it in.


What should I do? I can send to a microsolder for about $60 total to get the Audio IC fixed, but that's going to put it out of my targeted margin. I don't have an Apple store in my state, but there is a location you can bring in Apple products and they ship it out for you and all that jazz.


Should I just wait for iOS 12 to release? Does iOS 12 beta fix the issue? (assuming this particular iPhone is a iOS bug not audio IC

Is the speaker icon greyed out during calls and/or voice memos app not starting recording?

If yes it’s the audio IC at fault. $60 is a very good price for a repair like that.

Did the iOS damage the Audio IC, or is it a separate issue with the same effect?

No, the Audio IC is a board level issue. It's an engineering issue much like the touch disease that plagues the 6 plus iPhones.

So my best bet would be get it fixed for about $60?

That would be a $280 investment, but it is GSM unlocked and 128GB so maybe just try and sell it for $320 and not make too much. Or would I be better trying to make my money back reselling as is?

Hate learning the hard way :/
