Overview
What this part is
The iPhone 13 uses a thin antenna flex cable to carry the GPS signal. If it tears during a repair, or corrodes after liquid damage, Maps may take a long time to find you, show the wrong position or lose your location while driving.
This part replaces that GPS signal flex. It sits inside the phone, so the screen has to come off to reach it. It does not repair mobile signal or WiFi faults caused by the main board.

Professional installation
How a technician fits this part
- Power the iPhone 13 off, remove the two pentalobe screws next to the charging port and warm the screen edges to soften the adhesive.
- Open the display carefully and disconnect the battery before anything else.
- Remove the brackets covering the GPS antenna flex.
- Unclip the old flex and fit the new one along the same route.
- Reconnect the display and battery, then test the repair before sealing.
- Apply new adhesive, close the phone and press evenly while it cures.
- Test location in Maps outdoors.
Check that the part matches the device before fitting it or removing any adhesive backing. Once a part has been fitted, it cannot be returned for a change of mind. Faulty parts are always covered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my iPhone 13?
Yes, if Settings › General › About shows iPhone 13. It fits models A2482, A2631, A2633, A2634 and A2635. It does not fit the iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 Pro.
Does it fit the iPhone 12?
No. The iPhone 12 uses a different gps antenna flex cable. This part is made only for the iPhone 13.
Will this fix weak mobile signal?
Usually not. This flex carries the GPS signal only. Weak mobile signal on an iPhone 13 has other causes, such as other antenna parts or the main board.
Is it made by Apple?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality gps antenna flex cable made to fit the iPhone 13, and every part is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. Opening a iPhone 13 needs heat, pentalobe and tri-point screwdrivers and new adhesive, and the battery must be disconnected safely.
