Can you hear me now?

Since the iPhone 4S went on sale in mid October users have not stopped complaining about muted audio on outgoing calls. Affected users have reported not being heard by the other party during calls (and also not hearing the other party on some calls.)

A huge discussion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16424561#16424561) is brewing on the official Apple Support Community with many notes from frustrated users. The discussion started just days after the 4S release has swelled up to 90 pages of posts making it the most discussed iPhone 4S issue.

The issue seems to affect users from all over the world. A Facebook Page dedicated to the problem https://www.facebook.com/iPhone4SOutgoingCallNoAudio includes many wall posts from affected users, one users saying "Same issue here in MAcedonia i am returnig it too. Shame that Apple stay silent on this problem" and another "i have the same problem no outgoing calls i just hear my voice, it happens 5 out of 3 calls. this is really annoying."

CNN: Please cover this! This is a huge issue as you will see by reading the official Apple Support Community. Users are frustrated and Apple is not responding because the mainstream media is not saying anything. Repeated attempts to contact the CNN Tech team have fallen on deaf ears.
