What this antenna flex is for
This small internal flex forms part of the iPhone 16 Pro Max antenna system and is positioned near the charging-port area. It is a different component from the complete USB-C charging-port assembly, the Wi-Fi antenna, Bluetooth flex, GPS antenna and wireless charging coil. Match the original part shape, mounting points and connectors before ordering.
A damaged, torn, corroded or poorly connected antenna flex may contribute to signal or connectivity symptoms after impact, liquid exposure or a previous repair. Similar symptoms can also be caused by software, network coverage, SIM or eSIM configuration, damaged coaxial cables, other antennas, housing damage or logic-board faults. Replacing this part is not a guaranteed fix unless diagnosis identifies it as the faulty component.
Genuine Apple PULL-A condition
This is a genuine Apple component removed from an original iPhone. Pulled parts are selected by repairers who want original connector geometry, materials and fit. Because it has previously been installed, the flex may show minor handling marks or adhesive residue. It is not represented as a brand-new Apple service part.
Crazy Parts lists this PULL-A item as tested before shipping. JPC Mobile does not add an unsupported claim that every individual part has been independently bench-tested by us. Inspect the flex on arrival, compare it with the original and test all relevant functions before the phone is fully resealed.
Compatibility
Designed for the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, including model numbers A3084, A3295, A3296 and A3297. Apple model numbers can vary by sales region, so check the handset under Settings > General > About or inspect the device documentation. This listing is not advertised for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus or iPhone 16 Pro.
Do not order by the phone name alone if the device has been rebuilt or contains mixed parts. Confirm the installed flex visually and verify SKU PULL-CportFlex-16PM against your repair or inventory record.
Professional installation recommended
Replacing an internal iPhone antenna flex requires careful disassembly, suitable tools and experience working around the display, battery, charging assembly, coaxial connectors and logic board. Incorrect handling can tear nearby flex cables, damage connectors or cause additional signal and charging faults. JPC Mobile recommends installation by an experienced phone-repair technician.
Power the device off and disconnect the battery before removing or attaching internal connectors. Use ESD-safe tools, keep screws and brackets in their original positions, and never force a press connector. Test cellular signal and any other affected functions before installing new sealing adhesive.
Diagnosis checklist
- Confirm the handset is an iPhone 16 Pro Max and record its model number.
- Check software updates, network settings, carrier status and SIM or eSIM configuration.
- Inspect the housing and antenna-contact areas for impact or liquid damage.
- Compare the original flex with the product images and SKU.
- Check related coaxial cables, connectors and antenna components.
- Test the replacement before fully resealing the phone.
Part-only scope
The advertised price covers one charging-port-area signal antenna flex cable. It does not include the USB-C charging-port assembly, tools, adhesives, brackets unless shown, installation labour, diagnosis, removal or refitting services. Contact JPC Mobile - Tech Repair & Accessories separately if you need a repair quotation.
Water-resistance notice
Opening an iPhone can compromise its original seals. Replacement adhesive may improve sealing, but the original water-resistance rating cannot be guaranteed after a repair. Keep the repaired device away from water and moisture. Water resistance is not included or warranted by this product listing.

Warranty and Australian Consumer Law
This PULL-A antenna flex includes a 12-month product warranty for an eligible part fault. The warranty does not cover accidental or liquid damage, physical damage, torn or creased flex cables, damaged connectors, incorrect diagnosis, incompatible installation, misuse or damage caused during fitting. Installation labour, removal and refitting costs are not included unless required by law or expressly agreed in writing.
Nothing in this warranty excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Where Australian Consumer Law applies, you may have additional rights.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the complete charging port?
No. This is the signal antenna flex located near the charging-port area. The complete USB-C charging-port assembly is a separate product.
Is it a new aftermarket part?
No. PULL-A identifies a genuine Apple component removed from an original device. It is not described as factory-new.
Will it fix every reception problem?
No. Reception symptoms have several possible causes. Confirm the fault through proper diagnosis before installation.
Can I order it when local stock runs out?
Yes, while the verified supplier item remains available. Supplier-sourced orders may require extra handling time before dispatch or collection.
