Scotty Allen had a dream: build your own iPhone buying all the parts separately. He embarked on this project in one of his trips to China and tells us how was the process.
Let’s begin by the end, he succeeded, but it cost him more than US $1000, basically by trial and error, but that if back it do not spend more than USD $300 and could succeed, according to Reddit account.
In the video we can see his fascinating journey through the warehouses of the world’s largest technology markets, getting one to each part.
The machine to attach the display to the digitizer is particularly satisfying to see (about 8 min).
Many will wonder how demons did to make Touch ID work, very simple, bought a motherboard with its included home button. Do it from scratch, at least this part was infinitely complex.
Your trip not only is the iPhone. We can see Customs so alien to us how to use PayPal to pay at a market.
Our protagonist got so into his project, which ended up enrolling in a class – in Chinese, obviously – repair of phones to learn more detail.
It was not easy, but he did. He decided to go for a 6s instead of a 7 by the availability of parts.
It is a record, that when you have twenty minutes free, worth see if you love mobile technology.
What most called you the attention of the video? Do you think that you could do it in your country?
