How to spec an iPhone repair starts with glass, display, battery, or port.
Four different jobs get four different quotes. Here is how we tell them apart before we open the phone.
How to spec an iPhone repair is to name the failed part before anyone talks price. Cracked glass, a dead display, a tired battery, and a bad port are different jobs. We diagnose free at seven stores. Walk in 10 AM to 8 PM. The quote lists the part.

Glass versus a dead display
If the picture is sharp and touch works, you are usually buying glass. Pink lines, black blotches, or dead touch mean the display itself. Those are different iPhone parts.
We will not sell you both unless both are failed. If you want both, you will see both lines.
Face ID and cameras get a look at the same time on an iPhone. On Android we test the fingerprint or face unlock that the model has.
Battery versus the charging port
A phone that dies by noon and then jumps when you plug it in is often the cell. A phone that only charges at an angle is often the port. Sometimes it is the cable.
Bring the cable you actually use. How to spec the job includes the accessory, not only the phone.
Battery health in Settings is a clue, not the diagnosis. We still look for swelling. Swelling is a same-day walk-in.
What to bring
The phone, a charger if you have one, and the passcode. We need one unlock after the repair to test. You can stay for that.
Know the model. It is in Settings, or on the back, or on the box. Guessing the model is how the wrong glass gets discussed.
If you might replace the phone instead, glance at shop iPhones so you know what a different unit costs beside the repair quote.

Seven counters, one rule
Emmaus, Breinigsville, Fogelsville, Walnutport, Bath, Nazareth, and Bangor are open 10 AM to 8 PM every day. You do not need an appointment. Book on the homepage only when you want a time held. Call 484-268-9337 if the drive is long and you want the shelf checked first.
Diagnosis on a phone is free. The quote is written before we take a screw out, and the bike price is the tag in the store. You can say no. Premium and OEM phone glass is 45 days. Aftermarket phone glass is shorter, and that window is on the quote. Emmaus takes 10 percent off qualifying phone repairs. The other six stores do not.
A phone repair and a bike you buy are different receipts. The repair policy covers the repair. The device sales policy covers the sale. Bring the ticket back to the same store. Most in-stock phone jobs finish in 30 to 60 minutes. Bikes are large, so call ahead and ask which store has the unit before you drive across the valley.
