iPhone 8 plus back right corner broken

I have iphone 8 plus with the back right corner frame broken and i get really bad signal

i did test and when im getting decent signal( 2 to 3 bars) my download speed is normal but my upload speed is super low like .30 to .80 speed

I have an iphone 7 plus it works fine no issues with it i think my wifi antenna is affected by the back frame being broke

I can’t see the housing affecting the signal, I think the wifi antenna itself may have got damaged when the incident happened.

So should i replace the antenna ?

Yes I would recommend replacing it. It’s not an overly complicated repair, you’ll just need to remove the battery and Face ID unit.

You need to put the phone between the car door and close the door tightly until you hear a clear "chikkkkkk" sound.

Then reset the device to factory settings and never turn it on
