hi this is Ed from Surreal Adventre and I wanted to make an updated video for the newer series
of iPhones I have with me today an iPhone XS Max and I wanted to show you how to improve the sound
quality of the speaker on this phone so it suffers from the same problems as previous generations of
iPhones what ends up happening is this tiny little screen which is made of metal and I'll throw up
on the screen here a close-up of it gets gets oil from your face and then eventually dirt sticks to
that and it blocks the sound and before you know it the sound quality is reduced and it requires
cleaning this little tiny screen here is some type of semi permeable membrane I've tried to
look up information on this but it's obviously an Apple secret and engineering secret of theirs it's
from what I can tell tiny little metal holes which are small enough to let sound through
but prevent water from going back in because the water has a surface tension to it and you
know if it's under its own weight or pressure it doesn't push through those holes the first
step is to use your swab you just take the swab and you push it against the tiny little screen
here move it back and forth gently you'll feel it rubbing against the screen and after you've moved
it back and forth a good amount of times you'll notice that on the tip of the swab you have a
little black area that's pulled some dirt off of it and you're going to move it to a cleaner area
of the swab and repeat I'd recommend doing this several times get all the dirt you can off of it
after your swab starts coming back clean you're not pulling any more dirt off of it then it's
time to blow the remainder of the dirt off of it now feedback from users as educated
me apparently air in a can is not a thing in certain parts of the world here in America we
can get it everywhere but apparently in what looks like Europe it's not really
available if air in a can is not available we have this other high-tech instrument that you
can acquire locally and you can use that to blow air out the speaker blow the air
on the speaker and clean the phone that way so what we're going to do is we're just going to
give it a few quick blasts hold the compressed air at least half an inch away from the screen
give it a good blast and that will clear off the corners and the dirt that's built up around the
edges there and then you can check the sound quality of that and see that if it's improved
it or not now if the sound quality has not been improved it is possible that other things are
wrong with it other things can block the screen again get coated with food materials or other
harder to remove things other than just grease and dirt other things go wrong with the phone
as well there's an amplifier circuit in there there's a tiny little speaker it goes without
saying I hope you've checked your volume controls to make sure that the volume is up all the way
but if you're still having problems after you've attempted this cleaning procedure a couple times
my advice to you is to you know seek repair find an Apple authorized service center or someplace
it's competent and working on these things and and have them take a look at all these parts
that are in this are are available and they can be replaced I hope that this is solved
your problem if it hasn't it is possible that they should have your phone looked at by Apple
or an Apple authorized service center I hope that you all have a great day and thanks for watching
