I am looking at buying the below part from IFIXIT.com to fix an iPhone 13 model A2484 to fix a non-functioning microphone. The problem is that I see the pic on the iFixit store only showing a single microphone and an image of the same cable (theoretically) on Amazon showing two microphones. Does anyone know why iFixit isn't showing both mic's? There are supposed to be 2x mic's at the bottom on this cable. I have heard iFixit has higher quality parts so I was trying to avoid Amazon if I can.

iFixit product:

iPhone 13 Lightning Connector Assembly

Amazon product link

See mic locations (at least where I thin they are) below:

Any help is greatly appreciated!

My Apple Pay has not worked at all. No card machine will recognise my device is there, it worked once since this happened, but not again.

An airtag type device used called 'squid' for tracking loyalty payments which also uses NFC (I assume) also would not recognise the phone. This makes me think there is a hardware issue with something, and not an Apple Pay problem. I deleted and put all my cards back on but the different pay terminals, and this squid tap loyalty thing still didn’t recognise my phone.

So, after seeing somethings about possibly loose NFC antenna plate, or something like that, does anyone have any insight?

Or links to a guide i might use to open up the back of the iPhone, locate the plate and NFC antenna, and check if there is anything out of place from a drop potentially?

As you can see in the picture, the phone is bent and has a curve, but everything on the phone works except for the screen, which is dented and cracked, but everything else works, even the screen.

Edit: This full teardown video shows the outer bezel thingy attached to the screen too!! What the hell phone do I even have? Lol. Bought the phone from Amazon renewed about a year ago: "Apple iPhone 13, 128GB, Starlight - AT&T (Renewed)"

It's just weird that no videos or guides have this weird outer frame/bezel thing included in the iPhone's body or show how to remove it.
