Reply to comment by ImChimeraX 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

OP is showing the rear part of the earpiece cover which is why it looks like that. I repair iPhones as a side hustle I know what I’m talking about. Regardless a part is missing from the earpiece and damage can impact how it appears.

That piece looks nothing like any part from an iPhone. I mean maybe you need glasses or something, but looking at photos for iPhone parts you can clearly see there’s no part of the grill or earpiece assembly that looks remotely like that.

I’m happy to be proven wrong next time you take an iPhone 13 apart, but from my own experience repairing the odd phone, and from tear down videos, and parts catalogues I can’t see why you’d think it’s from OPs phone.

Wrong, the rear part of the earpiece speaker for the 13 pro does not look anything close to that. There's videos on the internet that disprove you, there's common sense that disproves you, you can watch a jerryrig teardown of the phone and it will disprove you, but it seems you're so adamant on your stance, despite it being demonstrably wrong, that I sincerely doubt you'd believe apple's own engineers if they told you it's not true.

That metal piece did not come from OP's phone.

It’s admirable how hard you’re doubling down on being very, very wrong.

Yet I’m not wrong and ignorant users who think they know better are the ones who are wrong. Obviously the metal piece is missing and OP is clearly showing what’s left of it.

You're saying the metal piece is from behind the earpiece speaker, yet the phone op showed us in the photo looks intact and absolutely identical to the one in the photo you keep repeatedly posting in this thread.

As a self-proclaimed phone repair hobbyist can you explain how that metal piece that is clearly larger and thicker than the gap between the display and the borders of the phone somehow came from the behind the earpiece and got outside, yet the phone in OP's photo doesn't appear damaged in any way whatsoever.

Again, look at the phone in OP's photo, and the one in your photo. Despite his photo being slightly blurry, you can clearly make out that both earpieces look the same.
