Reply to comment by veganfuccboi in This mesh thing fell out of my iPhone 13 Pro. Is it a big deal ? Can it be fixed? Do I need it? Thanks. by IranOutOfLebanon

It is indeed part of the phone. The earpiece mesh should not be visible like that. That grill piece that somehow fell off is part of the earpiece and acts as protection for it.

That is not the earpiece mesh, the earpiece mesh can clearly be seen in the top photo on the phone.

The earpiece mesh is exactly that, a mesh. The thing OP is showing is a piece of solid metal with some holes in it.

The “are you dumb?” comment while you’re calling two completely different components the same is just the chef’s kiss of Reddit user arrogance. Please use your good eyes and try again, buddy.

As someone who has taken apart thousands of Apple phones, that is certainly not from an Apple product. Full stop.

But… they the same, and thing on finger is different, I mean on your phones speaker grill is like metal fabric and thing on finger is like solid aluminum with holes.

You sound like the kind of guy who just watched a couple of mr mobile and mkbhd videos and suddenly think he's a phone expert. The cherry on the cake is that you are calling people dumb.

Unfortunately you couldn’t be more wrong. But this is Reddit of course and most people don’t know what they are talking about especially in this thread. I’ve repaired many phones over the years and I wouldn’t make a statement unless I knew what I was talking about.

You're hilarious. You can literally take 30 seconds to google images of the iPhone 13 Pro earpiece and see that the part OP is holding is absolutely not it, and their phone is normal. And you've dozens of people here who own the thing saying the exact same. But no, you're right and everyone else is wrong. The irony of you complaining about people on reddit being arrogant is making me thing you are trolling.

Know when to quit.

Take a look at this pic and tell me with a straight face it looks identical to what OP has. The picture OP is showing has the metal grill piece with the holes clearly missing. I had a 13 Pro and it’s obvious OP is missing that part of the speaker assembly. Multiple people blindly stating something doesn’t make them right, but that’s the Reddit hive mind there.

I only make posts or replies to inform I don’t waste my time like some people who do so to troll.

I’m looking at your photo, OP’s photo, and my phone. And they all match. And clearly there’s tons of people here who also have iPhone 13s or newer, are they all making this up?

“Reddit hive mind” lmao, you’re trying to find problems where there aren’t any.

And FYI, the dot pattern on OP’s image of the “missing grill” doesn’t match the pattern on the speaker. I’d know, I’ve repaired these phones before.

How are we supposed to trust someone that doesn’t even have the correct screen protector on their phone?

TWYFAN97 t1_j15jbdk wrote

What the heck you even talking about? Screen protector?

The screen protector on the phone on the picture you posted is very clearly not even close to the actual notch dude..

You must be pretty stupid to think that grill is even comparable to the picture posted by OP lmao. Calling others dumb when you sound stupid is hilarious.

TWYFAN97 t1_j1592od wrote

What’s more hilarious is people forget the part in question was damaged since it was never meant to be removed from the phone. We are also not looking at it from the front but the back which is why it may appear different in addition to the damage.

But the grill is STILL ON THE SPEAKER ☠️

TWYFAN97 t1_j15de2r wrote

The grill is literally not even there. You can see a gap and indentation where it should be.

Sir_Lagz_Alot t1_j15dmo0 wrote

But you can see the indentation for the grill tho. And there’s something in it. The grill. You can clearly see its mesh in the photo. Compare it to your phone.

Besides, the grill is rounded, not sharp. That piece wouldn’t even fit in.

The grill isn’t naturally flush 100% with the screen. There’s always a small dip, which is that “indentation” you see. With a grill resting there.
