My iPhone X's speaker grille has broken slightly. For some reason one of the holes' speaker grille has sort of 'popped in' and I'm worried about waterproofing. If the iPhone x gets dusty/wet is it the speaker grille that stops the water from getting inside the phone, or does the speaker grille prevent the water from getting in?
Thanks.
Questa è una buona domanda?

The grill is designed to let sound out and prevent water in. If yours got damaged you’ll need to get it fixed to regain its waterproofness.
But! You have a Catch22 problem here! Opening the phone to replace the grill (if thats even possible) or replace the bottom case will in fact make the phone less waterproof!
Your best bet here is get a case which in its self offers waterproofing - Sorry ;-{

I know the speaker grille has to be replaced, but just while I'm waiting I'm just trying to figure out if the speaker grille stops water from coming in or if there is a seal inside of the speaker itself.
The grill is it, nothing else. Here's a good view of the speaker unit: Speaker Assembly
The iPhone X appears to be barely water resistant as it is, opening it up to repair the grill is a recipe for disaster. I would be very careful with this phone anywhere near water.
The photo Dan showed is super useful. My question was if the waterproof protection was from the grille preventing water from getting in, or if there was a seal around the actual speaker. Now I can see it's not the grille that stops the water. Thanks.
If I remember correctly, @tomchai said something about these grills (ear speaker etc) were some kind of gore-tex like material.
