Hi.
After a swim of 20 min. my Iphone 11 pro has very bad sound from speakers so i have to switch to "big speaker" to have a conversation. I also can't charge because of water. How long is the unit to dry? Is the IPhone damaged in the speaker or will it be ok after drying?
kind regards
Bo
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13
You really, really should not swim with your iPhone the water resistance is not there so you can intentionally make it wet it's there to help protect it if you are unlucky
It might have taken permanent damage.
But you should let it dry and see what happens
This article explains more about the water resistance of iPhones how you shuld dry it, and what do do if the speaker sound is muffled

I can't even imagine what possessed to go for a swim with your phone. But since you did, you have likely destroyed the phone and water damage is NOT covered under iPhone warranty. iPhone is water resistant NOT WATERPROOF.
Schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar. There is a sensor in the phone which will show it was submerged in water, so they won't replace it for free. If you have AppleCare+ you can use one of your two replacements at reduced charge. If you don't have AppleCare+, you will be offered an out of warranty replacement at much higher cost.
Ok how should this quote be understood by max. 4 meters for 30 min etc. ? :
iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are splash, water, and dust
resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a
rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 4 meters up to
30 minutes).
It should be understood that water resistant does NOT mean waterproof and the paragraph you quoted explains it was tested in a laboratory setting under controlled conditions. You should NOT have gone for a swim with your phone and Apple warranty specifically says water damage is NOT covered. Since you went for a swim with your phone, you have NO warranty and will have to pay for a replacement device. Apple won't make any exceptions to this to anyone.
