Interchangeable wifi antenna with other models?

So this is the first time I’m asking a question here, so please forgive my amateur self.

My question may sound strange but I still wish to have an answer to it if possible.


I have 2 iPhones, an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4S.

Both devices are used, gifts I gotten from people who didn’t need them anymore.

Neither are refurbished as far as I know so the original parts are still present inside.

The 4S has a bothersome issue where the wifi fails me; it will randomly shut off connection and only randomly comes back on after a while… or not at all for hours on end.

Resetting the device and troubleshooting it in the habitual ways described on multiple websites resolves it 2/10 times (and when it does it’s only temporarily) and I have found no permanent solution at all obviously.

Often when trying methods such as hard resetting the device I end up with the wifi ‘grayed out’ upon checking the settings, making it inaccessible.

Multiple hard resets are then necessary to reactivate/un-gray the wifi logo.

This issue also seems to extend itself to the bluetooth aspect of the device but since I don’t use that feature for anything it doesn’t bother me as much as the wifi not working properly.


Now, I believe it might just be a faulty wifi antenna and that replacing it might resolve this issue once and for all.

However, since I also have an iPhone 3G with a functioning wifi, I was thinking, “Could I remove the wifi antenna of the 3G and put it in the 4S? Are the compatible?.

So now I ask that question to you good folks: Is it possible to remove the wifi antenna of an iPhone 3G and install it in the 4S and make it work?

Or will I have to actually get a replacement wifi antenna?


Again, I know this may be a strange question, given that these phones are of different generations and shape, but I was hoping someone might have an idea and if it would be doable for an amateur like myself.


Thank you in advance for the replies.


Cheers!

No, the parts are not interchangeable
