The video is only two minutes long and features a deep, low-pitched sound that causes the device to vibrate, pushing water out of the speakers. Thousands of users claim that the method actually works, but The Verge experts decided to put its effectiveness to the test in practice.
At their request, iFixit researchers tested this technique on a variety of smartphones: iPhone 13, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 3, and Nokia 7.1.
The experiment showed that the effectiveness of the method depends on the phone model. The Pixel 7 Pro was almost completely dehydrated, while the Nokia 7.1 was almost useless. The iPhone showed average results.
So video can indeed help remove water from speakers, but its effectiveness depends on the specific device and how well it is insulated.
