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. You can literally have any electronic spare parts you want in that market

[@maxaffe3195]

so in theory you cant easily buy a cheap ipad

[@hamingnu6610]

@@maxaffe3195 I think it's more likely that the iPad's just found itself to not be part of Apple's format list of support for the next iPadOS updates. 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.

[@sheppo]

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 :)

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.

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.

If I couldn’t do this in a day or two I’d lose interest. I Applaud you for being able to keep interest and finishing your project.

[@mothballjim]

The main question is how much did it cost in total to make??!

[@Gundrs]

It says about half of what it would cost new in the US.

[@rayx3001]

mothballjim actually if you search on TaoBao, which is like EBay in China. A fake iPhone would be much cheaper than what he got, and same quality, better get two coz if one broken, it's worthless for you to repair it

[@HenningGu]

300$ according to the Verge.

[@DetectiveFingerling]

He spent $1000, but didn't use all the parts he bought. Source: news beat

[@1Kobefan100]

[@user-dc2oi5db4t]

Welcome to China！Environmental pollution the government is changing, I hope you like China.In fact, China is not as bad as the media say, and they have a lot of times to hold a black spot without evidence to slander the Chinese government and us.These are all from the robot translator, I am Chinese.

that's amazing content man! mindblowing

[@wisebeardman7197]

What I gathered from this video is how brilliant the Chinese people are. They take any opportunity to make a living off of it. It's truly awe inspiring. Not only that, but they take pride in what they do and their name as a wholesaler. I'm sure they're are some people in China that would take advantage, but I didn't see that in this video. Really cool video!

[@pizzaboxer]

To be honest, this is how China should make their fake iPhones, and not just android phones with an iPhone shell and an iOS skin.

I've been dealing in parts for a while with the Chinese... 1000x = You annoy me. 10,000x = Just starting out? 100,000x = Lets do business! 1,000,000x = You need to go to the factory. Are they honorable in business... Not on Alibaba/Aliexpress, but they are when your there in person.

[@momomori_JP]

Markets like that are super dope these men and women do this in such tight spaces in such crowded areas and do a amazing job I just can’t imagine how people can do that as a job

[@mrtreeleaf]

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.

[@CrunchyButtBurger]

It's a double standard my friend. One that really sucks but it's life.

[@yumecraft5910]

Angelbob77 they get business very frequently lol obviously you don't live there. and they didn't even trick him. the price they asked was actually very reasonable.

[@zw9423]

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

[@KansaiGene]

mrtreeleaf We'll see if they will be just as patient when there will be just as many foreigners in China, as there're right now in the US!
