Many people mocked my iPhone 2g (2007 model) saying that it’s speaker is so quiet, that it’s not possible to actually hear an incoming call or watch youtube with no headphones. And I believed them, but then I looked at the bottom of my iPhone more closely and I discovered that after 3 years of use the speaker holes are full of dust / bits of sand and other small things. So I took a small needle and dug out most of the dirt from the speaker holes and also a lot of dust from the dock connector hole (Seriously A LOT!!). This was the first time I cleaned it in 3 years and the results are amazing. The speaker is over two times louder than before, incoming calls are super loud, youtube and games can now be enjoyed without the headphones and so forth.
If you haven’t cleaned your iphone speakers do so now. Oh and by the way, by applying pressure to the speaker holes don’t be surprised if the soft plastic bends a little bit. It does not affect the sound but it will probably happen and the holes won’t be as even after that. But they’ll be MUCH louder!
