Is it okay if my iPhone speaker grill mess moves?

Hey,


is it okay if speaker grill mesh (bottom) is moving a little bit if I clean the speaker holes (example with toothpick). I don’t push the toothpick very hard. I m very gentle with it . But it’s moving a little bit especially one hole

Hi


Here's a guide we recommend following for cleaning your device:


"iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and iPhone 11 models

These models feature glass with advanced textured matte finishes either on the back glass or around the camera area. With normal use, the textured glass on your iPhone might show signs of material transfer from objects that come in contact with your iPhone, such as denim or items in your pocket. Material transfer might resemble a scratch, but can be removed in most cases.

Clean your iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that might cause stains or other damage — for example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, or lotions. Follow these guidelines for cleaning:

  • Unplug all cables and turn off your iPhone.
  • Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth — for example, a lens cloth.
  • Avoid getting moisture in openings.
  • Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.

Your iPhone has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic — oil repellent — coating. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will diminish the coating and might scratch your iPhone."
