In a traditional tower design like the old Mac Pro and Power Mac models, cleaning is easy: open it up and blow out the dust. In other words, something as simple and commonplace as dust can make your Mac slower and less stable. That heat buildup makes the CPU less stable and prone to damage, so the CPU will throttle itself in an attempt to bring the temperature down. Over time, as fans and heatsinks accumulate dust, they don’t remove heat as well as when they were clean-the dust acts as an insulator. (Adam Engst’s identical iMac seems to idle around 70º C and may need some cleaning too.) I haven’t been checking to see what “normal” temperatures are in this iMac, but that seemed too high for idle. I installed iStat Menus, a great utility that’s included with MacPaw’s Setapp subscription service, and was alarmed to see idle CPU core temperatures between 90º and 100º C. I wondered if CPU temperatures had something to do with it. iMac: Fix Performance Issues with a Vacuum CleanerĮver since installing macOS 10.14 Mojave on my 27-inch iMac with Retina display, it had been suffering slowdowns and beachballs.

That combination of techniques worked-the speaker once again put out full volume. Don’t use compressed air here, since it can leave moisture behind and damage delicate parts with its high pressure. After that, I stabbed the speaker a bit more with the brush and finished by blowing the speaker out with a camera lens blower. Scrubbing with the damp cotton swab produced big black streaks on the swab. I dip the swab in the alcohol and then squeeze it out into a paper towel, leaving the swab just barely damp with alcohol. The goal is to have the swab damp enough to clean, but not so wet that it could drip into whatever you’re cleaning. You always need to be careful when mixing liquids and electronics, even with rubbing alcohol, since it can be up to 30% water. I decided to pull out the big guns and add a little alcohol to the swab. That resulted in black lines on the swab, which, along with some modest volume improvement, told me I was on the right track. Next, I pulled out a cotton swab and used it to scrub the speaker. That seemed to provide some improvement, but after several stabs and sweeps, it still wasn’t nearly as loud on a test call as I had hoped. I started by doing what I saw the Apple guy do: “stabbing” the ear speaker with the brush. In a pinch, you could use a soft-bristle toothbrush, but be very gentle with it. If you don’t have one, they’re inexpensive and handy for electronics cleaning. Thankfully, I happen to have a lens brush. Increase Call Volume by Cleaning Your iPhone’s Top Speaker If you lack a lens brush, lens blower, and microfiber cloths, you can buy a lens cleaning kit for under $10.

Calls were once again crystal clear! What made me feel even dumber is that I bought her the iPhone 8 Plus to replace an iPhone 6s that had suffered from a similar problem (on the plus side, that iPhone is now a great iOS 13 test device). I felt like a dummy when the Apple support guy pulled out a lens brush, stabbed and brushed some crud out of the top speaker (the one that looks like a line above the screen), and handed the phone back to my wife. We had tried adjusting various settings to no avail. The problem was that the volume out of the earpiece was too quiet, even at full volume. Have you ever had something professionally repaired, only to feel like an idiot when you saw how simple the actual repair was? I had that experience recently when we took my wife’s iPhone 8 Plus to the Genius Bar.
