So you’ve dropped your phone in the š½ toilet, š° sink or šā pool? When water gets into your phone’s speaker enclosure the sound becomes muffled. Leaving any type of fluid in your speaker can cause serious damage when it dries out.
It works just like the āļø Apple watch’s built-in water ejection feature. It plays a specific tone that generates sound waves which causes the water to be ejected.
Can a speaker be repaired?
More expensive component loudspeakers that are sold individually, such as those by JBL and Electro-Voice,Ā canĀ often beĀ repairedĀ and re-coned (re-coning aĀ speakerĀ means not just replacing theĀ speakerĀ cone, but replacing all the moving parts that constitute theĀ speakerĀ cone assembly; this includes the voice coil).
