"Water Eject is a simple, yet powerful Siri Shortcut built for iOS and designed to protect your premium Apple devices after being in accidental contact with water by generating an ultra low 165Hz frequency sound wave that propels moisture out from the speaker cavity system."

So yeah, gonna pull it out and wash it and keep using it.
But I’ll never forget.

NSFH warning! Take the title literally. I interpreted the title as "Webapp that creates natural water sound using your phone", so I clicked the play button without realizing this is NOT a water sound. This is a tone that is played which expels water that got into the phone from the speaker, using the outward pressure created by the tone. Really cool idea.
Likely inspired by the Apple Watch feature. I’m surprised Apple didn’t build this into their phones as well. Good job!

Thanks for that. It seems like they get stripped out by HN, and I don't know a workaround
What’s the frequency Kenneth! I’d love to know more about why this tone and not another. Is a resonance thing? Max energy possible thing? Anything special about the shape of the wave?
Website plays https://fixmyspeakers.com/static/tone.mp3 Spectrogram shows high energy at many frequencies. Waveform shows saturated curve, no surprise. Might have been just recorded from some analog circuit.

The italian regulators sure think it is: https://9to5mac.com/2020/11/30/apple-fined-12m-for-unfair-cl...
Clearly Apple isn't concerned, since they published this three days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCQpOaR3sVo

You're technically not supposed to submerge your iPhone; it voids their warranty. (It drives me mad that they do this in their advertisements, but I guess showing people doing things that would void their device's warranty is not false advertising…)
Seriously? Wow that’s all kinds of messed up to advertise and then tell people not to do. As a society, we’re in a pretty bad place when it comes to how much we simply expect false-ish advertising.

Perhaps tangential but I wanted to mention that if anyone else is looking to take photos under water at shallowish depths (about 10m at most), I found a cheap and reliable waterproof case with camera trigger button that I’ve been happy with. The camera trigger button of the case works by mechanically pushing the volume button on your phone, which when the built-in photo app of your phone is open works to take photos.…
