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. I bought an used iPad there, changed the drive from 16 to 32Gb, and the battery. 5 years later, the battery life is still impressive and device runs very well, except it doesn’t support newest os.

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.

[@cindywang5452]

that old man was making candy actually, he pulled it so that air enters and after the candy is cut into pieces, they become crunchy :)

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.

[@juliustan9647]

The HuaQiangBei is really a haven for electronic geeks. That machine that vacuums and seals the OCA between the cover glass and the Ito. The bubble remover. Those resistors and caps might be 0402 or smaller , you can solder them by hand but like the guy did, you'd need a pretty good microscope and a heat air tool. The PCBA part was amazing and pretty simple and thankfully it worked. The lightning port part was pretty amazing as they're proprietary parts.

[@NeverSuspects]

Way ahead on what? This is possible in China only because all the parts are manufactured in China, most of the parts are engineered in the US. There also happens to be a large demand for this stuff in China, while in the US almost everyone has a cell phone already and most people don't bother with assembly themselves to save a bit and would rather just pay for the finished product and spend time on other things. Also the knowledge about tech is in both country and is still only present in specific individuals who have taken the time to obtain it.

I am Chinese. I am very fond of seeing this. It is true that China has many conveniences. Huge productivity and opportunities have contributed to China's development, but others will not know how much work and the little rewards most Chinese have. I work abroad , but the purchase will choose China.

[@shadowmod3]

I am also a Chinese, trained and molded from the semiconductor industry. Lets be honest. you and i know that quality and reliability is always in question, respect to the intellectual property ownership aside. it is high time we make something which is truly in par in terms of quality, reliability and durability out there if we seek to solidify our pride in our products abroad. otherwise we are just going to fool ourselves in the long run.

Screw Apple.. Gimme a Huawei Mate anytime. No, i’m not either Chinese nor American,just a regular consumer.

[@valeriavagapova]

@@shadowmod3 Honestly, over the last few years Chinese smartphones have been getting more and more popular and I feel like the negative stigma around Chinese products is slowly fading. I have been using Chinese smartphones (Huawei, Meizu, Xiaomi) since 2010 or so, and I remember back then people would look at me like I'm crazy for buying some no-name Chinese phone. And nowadays I'm seeing more and more people opt for Chinese brands, and Huawei (and other brands too) really earned themselves a solid reputation despite the old "made in China" stigma. If Chinese companies keep it up I can only see them growing more tbh.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to build an iPhone 7 with a headphone jack? Serious question, no troll. Like could I take the case of an iPhone 6s and put the internals of a 7 in there with a working head phone jack?

[@Kai-kn9hv]

BASSFZz the os may not be compatible with the headphone jack

[@tinuthomas531]

You can probably solder a headphone jack on the connections for it on the lightning port but then you'd lose audio/video output on the lightning port entirely. And the OS may think you have something plugged in all the time, also losing speaker functionality. But idk I don't know how this works, I just snap pieces together to get them to work on my iPhones, not any soldering

[@rexrathbun3124]

BASSFZz It would be possible, but iOS might not support a headphone jack. But If it did, it wouldn't be incredibly hard to make it work

[@ivailopetrov2827]

doubt it

No it's not possible. They eliminated the space inside for the headphone jack, and no leads inside can be used for it

Watch the video, and listen to him talk. This, for him, was not about saving money. It was a project. A curiosity that needed to be put to rest. Regardless of whether he resides in China or the US, if he has the means and the interest, who are you to care? He's doing what he wants with his time and money. You're watching the video, so apparently you are getting something out of his experience as well. There are people who want to buy the latest things (sure, maybe at a discount price), and then there are people who want to satisfy their existent curiosity, and gain knowledge.
