Chosen Solution
I need to replace my earpiece speaker and my cellular antenna. I can only seem to find the parts for the iphone 5 for these items and not the iphone 5c, do they share the same part? Also, my talk to text and Siri does not work, so my thinking was to replace the microphone (which I did) in the process somehow my copper ring on my antenna broke :( so that is why I need that, and the new part did not actually fix the problem, So I am thinking I just need the top earpiece speaker. Do you think this will fix the problem? if now, what other parts would you recommend? Update Broken-flex-cable-picture.pdf Attached is a PDF containing a picture of my broken cable
Hi Rayne! iPhone 5 and 5c do NOT share parts. Here is a link to parts here in iFixit https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPho… So the 5C mic that Siri uses is the same one you use when you are on speaker and it is the one on the front camera flex. The bottom microphone is only used for regular calls in ear speaker. If you replace the front camera flex iPhone 5c Front Camera and Sensor Cable should work unless the phone has some other kind of damage… EDIT: The front camera flex has different components on it besides the actual front camera. If you sound muffled and there is something g wrong with the ear speaker my first thought is water got in it. I’d replace the ear speaker and the front camera flex. Ear speaker: iPhone 5c Earpiece Speaker Front camera flex: iPhone 5c Front Camera and Sensor Cable Not sure what antenna your are referring to. I’m guessing the bottom antenna by the charging port and battery connection which is this one: iPhone 5c Lightning Connector and Headphone Jack There is a third microphone it might be damaged as well and it is on the power button. I would not replace this one unless I’m 100% sure this is the problem. You can connect it externally and test your phone call. Please be careful! Link iPhone 5c Audio Control and Power Button Cable
