I am amazed how much more complex they were able to make the teardown process when compared to earlier models.

[@NandiCollector]

*Damn! A car restoration video looked more simple than this. You have nerves of steel mate. Kudos to you.*

[@turbo.panther]

Your knowledge and patience are very impressive!! So many opportunities for mistakes and you dodged them all.

[@HughJeffreys]

Thank you!

[@KitsuneKiera]

Imo the phone looked more expensive and elegant in its stock configuration, the excessive gold and diamonds look tacky and extremely cheap.

[@uncrustable9923]

imo its an ugly ass cheap looking phone to start with

[@martindione386]

the right phone for ap up n comer drug dealer

[@lordjaashin]

the original gold finish looks tacky and cheap too imo

[@markbennett6658]

Still too expensive a conversion as well although enjoyable to watch Hugh doing it. The Caviar thing is so niche that most people would think that iPhone just has a really nasty blingy case fitted!

[@b_altmann]

Same goes for Rolls-Royce or Lamborghinis where some people feel compelled to stick lots of stuff on, gold plated spinners, pearlescent paint, white leather etc. Yes, it is possible to ruin even very good design

[@zouhair318]

My friend, I admire your skills, and most of all, your patience, with all due respect.

[@DrThier32]

It's satisfying to see you repair all these phones. I wish I had your knowledge on the field, never would I buy anything new. I can't imagine how proud you must be after each repair. Good work mate 👍🏾

@@travisash8180 How can a phone be a “girls phone.”

[@IskanderVFX]

exactly, and not only for money reasons, it's better for the planet too

[@LexYeen]

17:23 Manufactured diamond and cubic zirconia _are not_ the same thing, the mined diamond industry just wants you to think that. Cubic zirconia is its own gemstone, made of crystalline zirconium dioxide, while manufactured diamond is crystalline carbon - in other words, _chemically identical_ to mined diamond in every way save for potential contaminants and/or inclusions.

[@lordjaashin]

another surprising thing is artificial diamonds are free of any inclusions and defects than their natural counter parts. aka artificial diamonds are more perfect than natural ones

[@alvinseamstar817]

@@lordjaashin that would make natural diamonds more unique tho. Since manufactured diamonds are all perfect

[@OhSoTiredMan]

@@alvinseamstar817 You can manufacture defects if you really wanted to.

[@alvinseamstar817]

@@OhSoTiredMan then why don't manufacturers do that? One of the few ways that are able to differentiate real and manufactured diamonds are the defects. If you could mimic the defects as well there would be no way to differentiate them and the inflated "real" diamond market would crash

[@smashpillow8513]

@@alvinseamstar817 It's all manufactured value for a shiny stone anyways. With "lab created" diamonds, you take away the alleged "rarity" of a natural diamond, but why the hell should we care? The non natural ones are just as pretty with no defects. Plus, diamonds are mined by the ton and the waste from carving them is thrown away. That's why you can buy natural mini diamonds by the pound for cheap. In my opinion, diamonds are a scam. Then again, the only reason things have value is because it's what people are willing to pay for them. This could easily turn into an argument of exorbitance and why we as humans waste resources for seemingly worthless things, but how about we just skip that part and move on with our lives and opinions. If you agree with me, cool! If not, I don't really care what you think- so please don't waste your time trying to argue. I hate that I have to type that out every time I say something on the internet, but that's just the way things are. No offence meant to anyone. Good? Good.

[@ReadTheBible8]

Imagine Hugh takes a lunch break and a cat jumps up on his magnetic mat and plays with all the parts. Awesome video sir.

[@SpaceWithSam]

Awesome stuff Hugh!❤️

[@denisovich_est2008]

I watch his videos for its therapeutic effect. The voice over is soothing that it makes me fall asleep faster.

[@TheSpotify95]

Nice project - though that took a lot of time and patience! It looks like these iPhones are needlessly overcomplicated to repair and disassemble. I also wonder if 3G/4G/5G signal strength has also been impacted by that metal back...

[@johnsellers4994]

the back should have no affect on the 3G/4G/5G antenna if you look at the 4 corners of the iphone there is 4 non metallic strips which are there for the antennas and to allows the signals

[@CornetAuBlanc]

hi there!

[@Earl1403]

The back is glass…

[@rachel705]

@Eye-Ay-En Did you watch the video fool

[@rosaria8384]

This is so satisfying tbh, despite the housing making the phone look cheap. The lightshow in the end is absolutely amazing.

[@jcolombo100]

Different screws with different screw heads have different torx pressure. I can only assume they use Phillips around the housing because there’s more of a solid base behind it so more you can exert more force for tightening whereas more fragile components can’t have this so the tri wing head allows for less pressure and more of a ‘holding into place’ instead of tightening into place if that makes sense?

[@Mudd.47]

Now this is just insane! Keep up the great builds

[@sy_saeyoung]

I like that design not for its gold or the diamonds, but the fact that it just has its cameras protruding without a square

[@الدوريالاسبانيبرشلونةمدريد]

The real luxury is inside the gorgeous design and architecture of components

[@darrenclement7741]

Amazing Hugh Keep it up you’ve inspired me so much!

[@damianosavraammisaelidis9727]

So if that is not the Caviar product itself then what is it? Either way. Although I don't fancy these types of looks on a phone, I must admit that the whole process was enjoyable to watch. Keep it up mate.

I can’t see me running out and getting this conversion. But it’s great to see what it takes to do a complete change.

[@MuscleCarLover]

Bloody beautiful, mate. I'd say the total spend is more than reasonable when you factor in how much they cost when new

[@Rev-D1963]

I enjoy your videos Hugh, and the amount of patience you exhibit is saintly! Not to mention your knowledge and skills. Question: Are the majority of these repairs/upgrades a one-day project, or do most/many take multiple days to complete? Thanks so much for sharing your videos with us. God bless, and cheers from Kansas. Rev. D.

I still don't see how you can remember where all those tiny pieces and screws go back. I can barely do a battery and screen repair. This is amazing.
