How does the iPhone XS Max speaker repair work?
- Diagnosis: main speaker vs. earpiece
We test music playback (main speaker) and the call earpiece separately. Often only one is faulty – saving you money.
- Open the display (for the earpiece)
The earpiece sits at the top of the display frame. The iPhone XS Max is opened from the bottom edge with a special suction cup, the display flex released, the panel placed on a stand.
- Release the speaker module
The speakers are fixed to the mainboard with micro screws and flex cables. Released without putting pressure on neighbouring components.
- Install the certified replacement speaker
Original Apple specification (8 Ohm impedance). Connector on the mainboard, screws torque-controlled.
- New IP68 seal around the speaker grille
The adhesive film around the speaker grille is replaced – so the IP68 protection stays fully functional.
- Sound test
Music playback, call earpiece, speakerphone mode, bass/treble characteristics. Only after a full test does your iPhone XS Max come back.
