Building a giant working iPhone

[@DIYPerks]

This is the hardest project that I've designed and built! I'd just like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped get it over the line, and particularly to my dad who helped me the most when things got tight. I also want to thank each and every one of you for being interested in my projects! I couldn't do it without you viewers so thanks for watching!

[@rsnshardsword]

[@BrayTube]

A thorough joy to watch not just your process but how much enjoyment you get out of it personally, and how you share that pleasure with those you love. I don't know if you've heard of Tim Hunkin (you probably have) but this one felt like an episode of The Secret World of Machines. Tim is still going and now making videos for KZbin, and I think a collab with him even just sharing notes on building projects would be unmissable.

There is something left to be said about the single HDMI cable between the TV and the computer hardware behind it. It's quite contrasting how 4 differential pairs push all that signaling when you see all the ribbon cables scattered around, from the PCIe cable for the GPU to all the interals from the TV. As someone who's built giant stuff for various production houses, WELL DONE. I hope you'll be able to wind down after all that stress and backbreaking work. You've outdone yourself yet again and deserve some good rest. Knock on wood that hopefully nothing happens by the time Guinness World Records comes over. Here's an anecdote: when I built world's largest Game Boy replica, I was doing some finishing touches at the museum where GWR was going to hold a photoshoot. I painted some finishing touches and was gone for half an hour and the whole project fell on the floor after someone accidentally pressed a light switch, but the switch controlled a gate. Apparently the project was resting against a gate, how about that. Well, with the original Game Boy circuit board behind it getting damaged and a few structural parts I had about 3 hours to fiw it before GWR's team came over. Luckily I had my childhood Game Boy with me and had a spare FPGA board, it was a bit painful but that was the quickest I had ever soldered. The whole project was a rollercoaster of stress and overcoming problems, but definitely worth it on many levels. The most important being the amount of improvement in skills that came with it; soft skills such as handling stress and all the skills required in producing the project in itself with limited tools. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration and congratulations. 🎉

9:01 - Goosebumps and I could feel how incredibly happy he would be by then. Also, you could have tested the Glue applying on a Small OLED to avoid such expensive mistake OR Should have taken a quick look to see if this glue will leak anywhere in the sides. Because, when I was applying similar glue kind for my S22 Ultra mobile which has a curved edge, i was so careful in doing that. But, what you have done is no words can explain that!! Big Salute.

[@visionary4787]

Matt, this project is absolutely mind-blowing! Seriously, creating the world's largest iPhone isn't just some wild idea; it's a stroke of genius. The fact that you're pulling this off, even as Apple, the giant, looms over the tech world, is just incredible. How can you not admire their courage and vision? The touchscreen issue sounds like a nightmare, but honestly, that workaround? Using acrylic to separate the touch layer and LOCA glue to keep everything crisp and functional? That’s some next-level ingenuity! This isn’t just a massive iPhone for show; it’s a testament to what’s possible when people push beyond the limits of what’s expected. You can feel the passion and drive behind every detail. I’m so pumped to see the finished product because, honestly, projects like this are what keep the maker world alive and exciting. Matt is absolutely killing it, and deserves all the love and support for his hard work!

[@ChandravijayAgrawal]

why people still using gpt to post comments, its easy to spot, there are so many better models out there

[@ShieldAre]

Maybe I missed it, but can this phone actually call or send texts? Like in the cellular network, not just through the Internet? Seems like a huge omission if not. They could probably have just installed a phone inside the phone and somehow program it to have that basic capability.

[@DIYPerks]

Now you mention it I forgot to cover that in the video! It has a mobile data hotspot built in.

[@LiteLotus]

Yeah! Most phones now use WiFi for calling when available, using the hotspot technically just makes that the default 😅

[@marclenraymagdaraog691]

It should. it literally has a PC inside it.. you can literally just perform a network text or call. and if you do just re-register a sim to the Pc if you want.. it's a PC.. like it's a PC.. emulating android.. that looks like an Iphone..

Underrated comment 😂

[@nightfr09]

Unrelated comment- I work night-shift and make use of all of your "artificial window's" series. I make them for me an my coworkers, when they bring me old TVS. I love them, set em up to timers and have them do daylight cycles The basic TV ones are easy to do, but the ones where you shine a LED through a soapy acrylic door look sooooooo nice. I want to do one of the acrylic ones in my closet, but i fear my closet isn't deep enough to really sell the effect/ idk It's been a while, and these are perfect for basement dwellers; if you ever think of a more compact design for the fancy ones, you should post it!!

[@avadrumm]

I built one much like that big fancy one Matt made using a standard bowens mount reflector. It's not amazing, but it's very small and cheap. You can also get more expensive and larger bowens mount modifiers that work better. Instead of making a gigantic tank of water to put in front I was able to use the filter mount in the reflector to put the filter much closer to the light and therefore make it much smaller. Also containing water is a massive pain (not to mention heavy), but I found out that certain clear bathroom silicone caulk has the same effect. it's so much easier to work with, you just squeeze it into a mold and wait a couple days for it to dry and you never have to worry about leaks or water getting gross. I believe I used clear GE bathroom silicone (the cheapest stuff in home depot), but you might wanna try out a couple of different ones to find the one that looks the best. The filter I made works really great though.

[@georgelionon9050]

There are certaintly plenty of people who do this, being an expert on glue is a true skill. Did you know that on modern air planes many parts are glued? Because it brings less tension than welding, has better behavior if entering failure mode etc (a glue will bend, while a weld will break) and so on.

Seeing your attention to detail and love for fine finishes on something of this scale is wild. A new iPhone fresh out of the box is a very satisfying piece of sleek hardware. Blowing it up that much and still keeping that precision look and function is absolutely bonkers. Beautiful build 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@philipbloom]

That’s incredibly impressive Matt. The camera part I don’t fully understand how they will work knowing how fiddly they are to get going when turned on and needing access to the camera to go through the menus. But also, I don’t understand what you are using for the front camera, I don’t think I missed it, did I?

[@nilsekluund]

Sadly he never showed that part. But it seems like it's directly connected to the pc instead of the shit wireless thing the two main cameras are using

[@philipbloom]

@@Microxxd it didn’t answer my questions at all.

[@DIYPerks]

Hey Mr Bloom! The front camera is an OBSBot Tiny 2 with all its pan/tilt features removed. I found it to be the 'webcam' with the best image quality by a significant margin (same class as a DJI Pocket 3 imo). The other cams are indeed a bit tricky, but it was the best combo I could find. The Sony presents itself to be connected to as soon as the phone is plugged into mains power (the camera is left 'on' so when usb power is detected it activates). As for the Canon, the rings need to be removed (they're magnetic) and an FN button pressed followed by a confirmation on the touchscreen, which connects it to a mobile hotspot that the phone is also connected to, so it's able to be accessed whenever without disrupting Internet access. It's a bit convoluted but it's the best I could come up with!
