A YouTube video shows a video that can eject water from your phone after it gets wet.

The video is called “ Sound To Remove Water From Phone Speaker ( GUARANTEED ) iFixit tested four phones, including an iPhone 13, a Pixel 7 Pro, a Nokia 71 and a Pixel 3 Pro.

The theory goes like this: all a speaker is really doing is pushing air around.

Each phone went into a UV bath for about a minute , after which Ritter took it out, tapped it to get some water out, played one of the water-ejection videos, and left it out overnight .

The videos weren’t a complete solution to the problem, though, the evidence was fairly clear.

The Pixel 7 Pro was essentially bone dry, the Nokia 7.1 was more or less ruined.
