Hi all, I was changing the LCD on my 6s when I noticed I have knocked off the silver metal part which holds the Coaxial cable in place for this upper port below… The actual black/copper socket is still connected to the board though, I have used a little glue to hold it in place…Can someone please tell me what this port actually does? The phone is operating as normal, I cannot see any traces connected to it either….. I am not convinced this is an antenna port. Please click the link to see picture.

Depending on whether the phone is GSM or CDMA (AT&T/ T-Mobile or Verizon/Sprint, respectively), that is an antenna port. I know that the GS4 CDMA and GSM phones are different in the same way. I would suspect that to be either Wi-Fi or GPS/alternate cellular. Test it out…
That is the wifi diversity antenna connector. The phone will lose some wifi reception and the link speed can drop 50% in some cases.
