Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible to buy a brand new phone now. Wait until a week or month before the release of a new one. Then benchmark the brand new phone record the scores. Then store it again (not used again to eliminate external factors). Wait until a new iPhone + Software Update. Then benchmark it again and compare the two benchmark scores. I have never seen a video comparing the before and after of Apple bricking iPhones, not quantitatively though, just a suggestion. I love your videos.
Does this still work after a data wipe / factory reset? I remember a secondhand iPhone 11 I bought that labeled itself as a dual-SIM Chinese model. The phone came activated, and both SIM cards worked perfectly. But it just stopped recognizing the second SIM card after a reset and a software update.
That was a pretty impressive mod. If one day you upgrade iOS and notice the dual SIM stops working, at least you'll know Apple watches your videos.

Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible to buy a brand new phone now. Wait until a week or month before the release of a new one. Then benchmark the brand new phone record the scores. Then store it again (not used again to eliminate external factors). Wait until a new iPhone + Software Update. Then benchmark it again and compare the two benchmark scores.
I have never seen a video comparing the before and after of Apple bricking iPhones, not quantitatively though, just a suggestion.
I love your videos.
Does this still work after a data wipe / factory reset? I remember a secondhand iPhone 11 I bought that labeled itself as a dual-SIM Chinese model. The phone came activated, and both SIM cards worked perfectly. But it just stopped recognizing the second SIM card after a reset and a software update.
Wow great video and information you done a great professional job thank you.
So would that mean you could have two data plans with two different companies if you wanted to?
Hugh, well done bro!!! are the dual sim card readers the same for iphone 12 and XR. Source of pls
Do you have a video showing how to override the software issues with the other parts to make them work after they had replacements parts?
You're a Genius, God Bless you.
It's Really GREAT WORK, GREAT JOB.
Looks so easy when you do it!
