Audio Speaker iPhone XR

Hi. Since i read that the iPhone XR is water resistant, i didn't think it was a problem to wash it a little bit on the sink. Also, my dad told me he does it too and has no problem with it.

But every time i do it, the audio speaker cracks and the sound is not as clean as it usually is/should be. It goes away after like three days, but it's still annoying. Even if i only wash it for a maximum of ten seconds, it still messes up the audio. And since my dad and lots of people i know do it too but don't have issues, i was wondering if there's something wrong with my phone only and have to change it/repair it. Thank you Xx

You should NEVER intentionally expose it to water or other liquids.


It is water resistant, not waterproof.


Liquid damage is not covered by the warranty and is not considered repairable.
