    I built a like-new(but really refurbished) iPhone 6S 16GB entirely from parts I bought in the public cell phone parts markets in Huaqiangbei. And it works!
    How much did it cost? Answer here: • How Much Does it Cost ...
    I've been fascinated by the cell phone parts markets in Shenzhen, China for a while. I'd walked through them a bunch of times, but I still didn't understand basic things, like how they were organized or who was buying all these parts and what they were doing with them.
    So when someone mentioned they wondered if you could build a working smartphone from parts in the markets, I jumped at the chance to really dive in and understand how everything works. Well, I sat on it for nine months, and then I dove in.

    For a tech fan, Huaqianbei is a paradise on earth.

Maybe there wasn't any real compromise that had to do with having been purchased in Huaqianbei, or idk maybe there was. Maybe the lack of support for the newer OSs was the compromise, but I feel like that's not the case and it's just Apple being stingy.

    you really have to admire the Chinese work ethic in light of the way the modern world has progressed around us all. Everything I see around Shenzen as it is represented in western media (an I'm counting this video in that) shows it to be an ingenious, hard working, well grounded set of people. The guys doing the screen work ~ 9:00 adorn their shop with hard drawn pictures of - i assume - their families, and hand drawn logos of the devices they support, whilst they work with some crazy ingenious tools to fix the problems of the trade. The next scene shows an old man making noodles (i think) and other street vendors. This is a mix of technology, personal stories, and tradition that I just don't see in the West. Love it.

      While you could drill a hole in the casing for a 3.5mm headphone jack it would not work with the motherboard as the iPhone 7 was not designed to have one. The software would not be able to understand as IOS 10 on the iphone 7 does not support a headphone jack.
      With a some work you might be able to make an iPhone 6s in an iPhone 7 body but iPhone 7 hardware and software does not support 3.5mm

      There should be a little menu at the top right of any sidebar reccomendation when you mouse over it - you can use that to select "not interested" and it should remove the video permanently. The same menu should be available (confusingly) at the *bottom* right of any home screen videos in the UA-cam app on mobile. Not hating, just trying to inform 😊

    This is a wonderful video, not only does it confirm the ability to assemble your own iPhone, though it’s long process but the ramifications of outsourcing. It’s a fact the China produces most the worlds stuff, especially tech, but I’d always expect it to be within a factory but to see an entire market within the city that sells parts says a lot about the world economy. That one clip with all the ladies assembling screens on the sidewalk left me speechless. It’s just crazy to see how much of an effect manufacturing has on China.

    You're lucky people in China are so patient and accommodating with foreigners and broken Chinese. Imagine a Chinese person trying to do this in America with broken English. They would be brushed off before getting out of the airport. True story.

      I am chinese and I don't really get ripped off like ever, and Idk why businessmen would do that to foreigners if they don't even do it to Chinese. Maybe the place you been to is different, but how do you know there are people being ripped off coz you don't know u got ripped off if you really got ripped off
