I don’t want anything else! Everything works well on my phone! I don’t want you to keep diagnosing it unnecessarily! I know the problem. Just fix it!

The external bands aren't technically antennas. They are places where Wifi and cell signals can escape the iPhone's aluminum casing.

There's no specific usage for each band. Any signal will escape from any band at any given time.
