iPhone xr

Soulsun · 2019-12-17 16:43:52

I have a new iPhone XR and the speakers appears to be blocked with dust etc after a few weeks. Any idea what is the best way to clear this as it is effecting the call quality. Cheers

Something like a clean dry tooth brush or a hard bristle paint brush should do the trick.

Also for future reference put celotape or bluetack over the speakers or earphone and push down. When lifted it will take up the dirt. I swear by it.

Also, clean your pockets
You shouldn't be getting clogged up at all that quick.
