We put each screw model will be pack in a separate bags, the users just need to choose the screws by following the iPhone screw location diagram, so you won't use the wrong screws model on the iPhone. And finally, you won't damage the iPhone because of the wrong screw.

And we mark the screws with a physical marking method, classify and number all screw models from iPhone 6 to iPhone XS Max, and make them into a corresponding high-definition screw location diagram.

Finally, you can select the correct numbered screw against the iPhone screw map, so you can install it correctly.
