use it to slice fruits :O

Take it to a store. I don’t think that’s good.

Yay, tiny jesus!!!

That looks fire

Yeah unfortunately only we iPhone users are stuck with old mesh style ear speakers.. I love iPhone I really do, but the amount of outdated stuff in it.. it just shouldn’t be like this..

It’s not a tumour!

It needs to be at least 3 times this size!!

I wouldn’t use that fingerprint for anything important anymore…

Yeah… but this post is about the speaker grill.

Probably because it’s not the screen. It’s the speaker grill.

Why is this getting downvoted?

Now your phone isn’t water resistant! /s

looks like it’s from a screen protector

This is the issue, I work with phones, I've seen this kind of screen protector before

Speakers are magnetic, and that’s a small piece of metal, I’d assume that the earpiece speaker of your phone just picked up that little piece of metal from like your pocket or something, as it’s not part of the iPhone! You should be fine op

My 13 pro microphone looks identical and nothings missing from mine as far as I know

Not iPhone part

Or things such as this

Right, and they can still contact apple support via chat or call to add apple care if they are within 1 year in the US. In this case the phone must be functional and connect to either a WiFi network or a cellular plan so they (apple) can run basic diagnostics. This is an option as there are not apple stores in a handful of US states and territories. My best guess is that they do ask the consumer if there is physical damage & it’s up to the consumer to either be truthful or lie. Im sure lying somehow breaks the TOC for applecare+ if apple were to find out.

Homie, I'm sorry you were downvoted so much. You directly answered the question posed to you.

The iPhones have WAAAY more holes than that!

Edit: it might be fake?

nothing fell out of your phone lmao my 13 pro top speaker looks exactly like yours and mine is intact idk where you got that mesh from but it didnt fall out of ur phone

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.

(US) After 60 days you need to take it in person. The option to buy in the os is gone after 60. If that doesn’t work, If it’s just the back glass I’d just take it to a repair shop personally. You would save some money vs OOW with Apple

I think those are mostly for cosmetic purposes You should be fine.
