iPhone Back Glass With Coil vs Without: Half Assembly vs Full Assembly
Share
Short answer: a half assembly is the iPhone back glass assembly without the wireless charging coil. A full assembly comes with the coil. Order the half assembly when you will transfer the customer's original coil, or when you want to pick the coil yourself (OEM or aftermarket). Add a coil to the order when the original is damaged or you do not want to transfer it. Back Glass Pros lists the half assembly and the matching coil as separate products, so both go in one order.
Back glass with coil vs without: the difference
| Half assembly (no coil) | Full assembly (with coil) | |
|---|---|---|
| Wireless charging coil and NFC flex | Not included | Included |
| Best for | Shops that transfer the customer's original coil, or fit a coil bought separately | Shops that want one part and no coil transfer |
| Watch out for | The coil can tear or lose adhesion during transfer, so keep a spare coil on the shelf | Higher cost per part |
| How we sell it | Half assembly, Premium and A Grade | Half assembly plus the matching coil, in the same order |
When a half assembly (no coil) is the right part
- Wireless charging worked before the repair and the original coil survives removal from the cracked glass.
- You already stock coils and want the lowest cost glass for volume repairs.
- You prefer to choose between an OEM and an aftermarket coil model by model.
When to add a coil
- The original coil is damaged or torn during removal.
- The customer reported that wireless charging or NFC was not working before the repair.
- You want to finish the repair without waiting on a second order.
The coil is listed per model as the Wireless NFC Charging Flex Cable, OEM or aftermarket, and sits next to the glass in each model collection.
