You guys are awesome. Thank you
Thank you for the guide! I followed and completed the steps however my Wifi is still greyed out and doesn't let me turn it on
This guide has been updated! Unnecessary steps have been trimmed.
Does the Wi-Fi Diversity antenna also function as the Bluetooth antenna for iPhone 6s? If not, how does one replace the iPhone 6s Bluetooth antenna?
Did you ever get an answer? I would like to know that too
