iPhone 11 Pro Max, from 2019, with a 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and the A13 Bionic chip. It charges over Lightning and it unlocks with Face ID. There is a stainless steel frame, and it is rated IP68. The first iPhone with three cameras in a square block, in the larger Pro size, with a matt glass back and rounded rather than flat sides. Ireland gets the A2218.

What this fixes

The faults a speaker & microphone repair puts right.

  • Callers cannot hear youThe microphone rather than the speaker. There are several in the phone and it is worth knowing which.
  • You cannot hear callers on the earpieceThe earpiece speaker, which sits in the display assembly on most models.
  • Sound only works on speakerphoneNarrows it to the earpiece rather than the loudspeaker.
  • It got quiet after a soakingWater in the mesh. Sometimes it dries out, often the driver has already gone.
  • Sound only works on speakerphoneThat points at the earpiece rather than anything upstream, and it saves a diagnostic.
  • Callers cannot hear you but voice notes record fineDifferent microphones for different jobs. It narrows this to the call microphone.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely the speaker?

Half the phones that arrive here with no sound have nothing wrong with the speaker.

IfIt is quiet rather than silent
Look at the speaker grille in a good light. Compacted lint and dust muffle a loudspeaker very effectively and a careful clean is often the whole repair.
IfSound works on headphones or Bluetooth but not the speaker
That confirms the speaker rather than anything upstream, which is useful and saves a diagnostic.
IfIt has been silent since a screen repair somewhere else
The earpiece sits in the display assembly and is easy to disturb. Bring it in.
IfIt stopped after the phone got wet
Assess the liquid damage first. A new speaker in a corroding phone is money wasted.
IfIt is quiet rather than silent
Look at the grille in a good light. Compacted lint muffles a loudspeaker very effectively long before it silences it.

If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.

What parts do we fit?

Where Apple supplies a service part for this component, that is what goes in. Where it does not, we fit premium aftermarket and say so. Which of the two you are getting is settled before you agree to anything, and the 360-day warranty does not change between them.

Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your phone is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.

    Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

    What the €85 includes

    • The speaker or microphone replaced, or cleaned where that is enough
    • Every audio path tested, not only the one that failed
    • A real call made before the phone goes back
    • 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship

    No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.

    Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.

    Choose the part

    Two tiers, named before you agree.

    Speakers and microphones are small parts and the tier gap on them is the smallest on this list.

    iMEND Premium

    Original or manufacturer-grade part

    The manufacturer's own driver. Worth specifying on a phone you intend to keep a long time.

    Priced at the counter

    Value Edition

    Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard

    Made to the original specification. On a speaker this is hard to fault and it is what most of these repairs use.

    Priced at the counter

    The €85 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.

    Before any of this, let us look at the grille. Compacted pocket lint muffles a loudspeaker very effectively, and where a clean fixes it that is what you pay for and no part goes in at all.

    The parts we use, in full

    How we do it

    From the counter to back in your hand.

    Tell us what it is doing

    Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.

    Free diagnostic

    We confirm what has actually failed before anything is ordered or opened. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.

    You approve the price

    You get the exact figure before any work starts. Nothing else happens without asking you first.

    The repair is carried out

    Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.

    Bench testing

    Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.

    Back in your hands

    Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.

    Before it goes back

    What we test every time.

    A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.

    A real phone call

    Both directions. It is the only test that proves the earpiece and the call microphone together.

    Loudspeaker at volume

    Held at full, because a failing driver sounds fine quietly and buzzes when pushed.

    Every microphone

    Call, voice memo and video are different microphones and a phone can fail one and pass the rest.

    A real phone call

    Made and answered, since that is the only test that proves the path end to end.

    What happens to what is on it?

    We are replacing a part, not reading a phone. Your photos, messages and accounts are not something this job touches.

    The one place it comes up is testing. A repair is not finished until it has been used, and using a locked device means a passcode. You are welcome to withhold it, and we will tell you which checks that leaves undone rather than quietly skipping them. A passcode you do give us lives on a paper docket that gets shredded, never in a database.

    Back it up first if you can. A device that has taken a knock has had its storage shaken whether or not anything looks wrong, and a backup is free insurance against the day that matters.

    Is it still water resistant afterwards?

    After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.

    The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.

    We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.

    If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.

    The 360-day warranty

    Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.

    What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.

    No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.

    Three ways to get it to us

    • Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
    • We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
    • Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.

    Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

    Asked all the time

    iPhone 11 Pro Max screen questions.

    €85, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.

    Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.

    Very often, yes. The loudspeaker grille packs with pocket lint and it muffles sound long before it silences it. We clean and test before quoting a replacement, and where the clean fixes it that is what you pay for.

    There is more than one microphone in the phone and they are used for different things. That symptom usually points at the call microphone specifically, which is a smaller job than it sounds.

    Sometimes, because on most models the earpiece is part of the display assembly. Tell us what the sound is doing when you book and we will check both together rather than doing one and finding the other.

    Parts that last

    Genuine or OEM-grade components chosen for your model. We tell you which is going in before we start.

    Your data stays yours

    Hardware-only repairs. We never read, copy or move anything on your device.

    The screen stopped working on my iPhone 13 mini - it had recently been repaired elsewhere. I got a warm welcome in the shop, and a phone to borrow while mine was in for diagnostics and repair. An issue with the battery was also detected and I am very happy with the new screen and battery and appreciated the excellent service and communication.
