Apple devices aren't cheap, and most people aren't in a rush to replace one just because the screen cracked or the battery isn't holding up like it used to. At Cell Gallery, we repair iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks for customers across Merced and the surrounding area, and we treat every device the way we'd want ours treated — carefully, honestly, and without unnecessary upselling.
The iPhone is the device we repair most often, and it's not close. Common issues we see and fix regularly include:
Screen replacement for cracked, shattered, or unresponsive displays
Battery replacement for phones that drain fast or shut down unexpectedly
Charging port repair for phones that won't charge or only charge at certain angles
Back glass replacement for cracked rear glass panels
Camera repair for blurry photos or a camera that won't focus
Speaker and microphone repair for muffled calls or a quiet ringer
Button repair for power or volume buttons that stick or don't respond
Water damage diagnostics to assess what's recoverable after a spill or drop in water
Software repair for phones stuck in a boot loop, frozen, or crashing repeatedly
Data transfer and recovery for moving to a new phone or pulling data off one that won't turn on
We've worked on enough iPhone models to know the common failure points for each generation — which is part of why most repairs take under an hour.
iPads take a different kind of wear than iPhones, mostly because of their size — bigger screens mean more surface area exposed to drops, and they often get shared or used by kids, which adds its own risks. We handle:
iPad screen replacement for cracked or unresponsive displays
iPad battery replacement for devices that no longer hold a charge or have started to swell slightly at the back
If your iPad's back panel looks like it's bulging even a little, that's usually a swollen battery — stop charging it and bring it in rather than waiting.
MacBooks generally hold up well, but when something goes wrong, it's rarely something you can fix yourself without the right tools. We handle:
Screen replacement for cracked or damaged MacBook displays
Battery replacement for MacBooks that no longer hold a charge away from the outlet
Keyboard replacement for sticky, unresponsive, or spill-damaged keys
SSD and RAM upgrades for MacBooks that have slowed down over time
macOS installation for a fresh reinstall, whether due to software issues or prepping the machine for resale
If your MacBook is running slower than it used to, an SSD or RAM upgrade is often a more practical fix than buying a new one — we're happy to walk you through what would actually help versus what wouldn't.
Most iPhone and iPad repairs are done in 30-60 minutes.

We understand Apple devices are a bigger investment than most, and customers are often (rightly) cautious about who they trust with a repair. We're happy to walk you through exactly what we're replacing and why before we start any work — there's no pressure to move forward with a repair you're not comfortable with.

Find quick answers to common questions about our repair services, pricing, warranty coverage, and turn-around times below.
Yes, iPhone screen replacement is one of our most common repairs, and most are completed within 30-60 minutes.
If your device is still under Apple's warranty or AppleCare, a third-party repair may affect that coverage. We're happy to discuss this with you before starting any work so you can make an informed decision.
In many cases, yes. It could be a battery, charging, or internal hardware issue. Bring it in and we'll run a diagnostic to identify the cause before recommending a repair.
Pricing depends on the iPhone model. We provide a free estimate before starting any work.
Often, yes. An SSD upgrade can noticeably improve speed and startup time for a fraction of the cost of a new machine. We'll give you an honest opinion based on your specific MacBook.
We use quality parts selected for reliability and fit. If you have specific questions or preferences about part sourcing, ask us during your estimate and we'll walk you through it.
Yes, that's typically a sign of a swelling battery, and it should be addressed as soon as possible. Stop charging the device and bring it in.
No, walk-ins are welcome. If you want to confirm a specific part is in stock, calling or texting ahead is a good idea.
