How to Clean Out an iPhone Earpiece Speaker
This is the best way to clean out a iPhone earpiece speaker on any model.
Prerequisites: Must have a need to clean the earpiece of an iPhone (can't hear during calls very well)
Difficulty Level: Member • Nerd • Platypus
Estimated Time: ~2 minutes
Expected Outcome: The iPhone earpiece speaker will be free of any dirt/buildup
Tools Required: A toothbrush or electronic device brush; Maybe some canned air
Steps to Perform
- Grab a clean toothbrush (or an electronic device brush)
- Gently brush the earpiece speaker (at the top of your iPhone) to remove debris
- If needed, use canned air to blow across the speaker (don’t blow air directly into it). Or a vacuum with a small tip
- Make a test call to see if your speaker is performing better
- If you’re still having trouble, reach out to Apple support or an AASP
