Even the smallest dirt can harm your smartphone. In some cases, dirt may affect the volume. If the headphone port is dusty, the iPhone may think it is connecting to an external device. Therefore, you need to clean it.

The best method of cleaning is to use air compressor or canned air. This is the easiest way to remove any dirt without damaging your device because the air can reach the most difficult places without removing it. You should leave the compressor a few centimeters away from the device to avoid its strong pressure to damage internal components.
