Overview
What this part is
The earpiece speaker sits at the top of the iPhone 11 Pro Max, behind the slot above the screen. It plays the other person's voice during normal calls. Dust in the mesh, a drop or water can leave it quiet, crackly or silent, while speakerphone still works.
This part is the speaker only. It sits under the display, so the screen has to be opened to reach it. Before buying, clean the mesh gently with a soft brush and check that call volume is turned up, as a blocked mesh is a common cause.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, if Settings › General › About shows iPhone 11 Pro Max. It fits models A2218, A2161 and A2220.

We recommend professional installation. The display of the iPhone 11 Pro Max must be opened with heat and resealed, and the Face ID parts near the earpiece must not be damaged.
