So you’ve dropped your phone in the ? toilet, ? sink or ?‍ 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 ⌚️ 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, can often be repaired and re-coned (re-coning a speaker means not just replacing the speaker cone, but replacing all the moving parts that constitute the speaker cone assembly; this includes the voice coil).
