iPhone X dust stuck in earpiece grill

I haven’t even used the phone to make a phone call yet, lmao. It’s just like white specks of dust that build up in there.
Any tips on removal? This seems to happen to me every year! The phone looks so clean except for the crap filling up in the earpiece. I’m so careful with my devices but can never avoid this
Try a small soft bristle grooming brush and that should be able to remove any debris. Hair trimming kits usually include them.

A q-tip soaked in alcohol always works for me!
Unbelievable. You people really just can’t help but blame every poster who mentions any issue, no matter how small. Yes, it’s not a big deal, but it is annoying. Doesn’t matter if you never hold the phone up or your face, stuff gets in there no matter what from your pocket.
This works- roll it to a little point tip. Sometimes even just the corner of a post-it note works well too.

True. I wasn’t paying attention to the date after seeing that stupid reply.
I’ve seen the apple store employees use a pen style device that has short bristles at the tip, they were in a circular pattern, it kind of looked like horse hair, but that tool was used to remove lint. I’ve only seen it there a time or two, I don’t know what it was. But I would imagine something like that would help. If the apple store employees still use it, give them a call and ask what it is.
