Just blowing on it hasn’t really helped as some of it is too compacted for that, but maybe I’ll try for an air can. (Don’t have one on hand, but they are good to have regardless.)
Okay, that makes more sense than just saying isopropyl haha. I mean I figured you wouldn’t just dump it straight on the speakers but wasn’t sure exact method; I’ll give that a go. Thankfully my charge port isn’t really an issue since my case has a cover for that, it’s only really tiny compacted crumbs in the speakers.
Memories of blowing hard into game cartridges came to my mind suddenly while I worried over spending money to replace my powerbank. Just one hard blow into the port fixed the problem.
Compressed air can, tweezers or theres also tiny tools with very finely sharp tips called pick and hook tools for automotive care that can get the tough lint and dirt that need persuading
That is identical to the one at my gym. I negate the danger by not carrying my phone around with me. Far be it for me to accuse you of sitting on the machine for multiple minutes at a time doomscrolling between every set, but I do see that a lot.
My dad, bless his boomer heart, mailed me a phone of his in a similar state of destruction once, with a post-it note on it that read "can you fix this please?", and was completely serious
This is not going to make you feel any better but one time I saw a guy bring his old nokia back to life with no issues after it had spent the winter crushed underneath a caterpillar crane's treads.
Bring it into a repair shop just to see what the clerk does when you calmly insist that they fix it and you're willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars cash.

Battery is a fire hazard if it’s damaged. Don’t store it indoors in case it combusts. Dispose of as hazardous waste (lithium).
