Hi everyone.
I found out today that a small metal pin on the bottom of my iphone broke off. It doesn't seem to affect the phone at all, but can someone explain to me what it's for?
I can see that it was supposed to touch a dot on the back of the screen.
I have marked the small metal pin in yellow at the bottom of the phone.
I hope you can help me answer this question, thanks
Is this a good question?

That is a chassis grounding strap which via its spring action connects to the back of the display assemblies back panel offing both a static and EMI pathway to the main case. As long as the second tab is not damaged I think you'll be OK. Otherwise you'll need to replace the speaker unit.
Was this answer helpful?
Thank you very very much!
The other strap is fine.
Again thank you for your answer

does this affect charging? because after i put my iphone back together my charging has been weird. Anytime I connect the charger, it shows the message that it shows when you just connect something.
"16% charged" then dissapears as normal.
But when i come back to the phone the charging icon isn't even there and my phone is still on the same battery level I left it on
@daveu - EMI shouldn't effect charging, a static discharge could damage some sensitive components. You likely have a deeper issue that needs looking into.
