Released September 24th, Apple's 2021 flagship smartphone features a 6.1" ProMotion OLED display, a new triple-lens rear camera system, and 5G. Successor to the iPhone 12 Pro.

NFC not working after flash/akku replacement.

Hey, I hope someone else here has an idea, as I no longer have any solutions.

Tldr:
Backglass replaced - flash broken - nfc working
flash and akku replaced - nfc not working
charging coil replaced - nfc still not working

What happened and what did I do?

I dropped my Iphone Pro 13 and the glass back broke. I replaced the back and broke the flash in the process. The phone worked perfectly at the time, just not the flash.

1. so I ordered a flash and if you have the phone open anyway, I also ordered a battery at the same time.

2. then I replaced the battery and the flash. Everything works perfectly except that now no NFC things like Apple Pay etc. work.

3. after long research I found 2 problem areas. The NFC antenna is in the charging coil. And the “antenna” is also part of the flash. Both components were involved in my repair.

4. charging coil bought new and inserted. Everything works except NFC.

Now I'm stumped and don't know what to do. I have not noticed any damage. Adjusting the flash module several times has not helped either. Should I buy a new flash module and try again? Or am I missing something else?

Many thanks for any helpful answers.

I have to wonder if there's some parts pairing issue going on with your phone. According to an internal Apple document I've seen, here is the list of paired parts on your phone.

Yes - Battery
Yes - Display
Yes - Camera
No - Back Glass
Yes - Phone Rear or Mid System

Now I fully admit I do not know what it means by "Phone Rear or Mid System", but generally when it talks about the back glass, it's including things like the charging coil and NFC antenna, so I don't think that should be affecting your phone; they didn't start pairing that until the iPhone 14 with its replaceable rear glass. Possibly on phones like yours without a removable back panel, that's what it's talking about?

Anyway, I don't have an answer for you, but just wanted to add this data point in case it sparks any ideas.
