So my iPhone 6 has REALLY bad Wi-Fi and cellular service. Recently, GPS also became weak.
My question is: If I fix the Wi-Fi will that fix the other problems?
Or is the cellular antenna unrelated to the Wi-Fi antenna?
Is this a good question?

The iPhone 6 had a signature fault with severed/broken traces under/near the broadband CPU. It would cause issues like “searching for service” and GPS issues. I would recommend taking it into a 3rd Party repair shop that specializes in microsoldering. Even if it does not require microsoldering, the techs that do it will know how to test components and verify if it is this issue or not.
This is , of course, just a guess based on the amount of phones displaying this issue that I’ve seen. Without seeing the phone in person, its impossible to diagnose.
Good Luck!

If you are just having reception/antenna issues then check out the antenna that is on the back of the logic board near the top. It snaps on at three spots, pretty sure one of those spots is wifi and the others are something else—you could look it up on the schematic. See if it is loose.
somewhere on my youtube channel i fixed a low signal wifi issue on iphone 6 by resoldering a torn connection on that antenna.
