Harder Than I Expected - E-waste iPhone X Transformed Into Something Spectacular

[@mirkopacchioni4158]

I know the phone is broken but it's always weird to see cut and break parts that we usually try to fix, like when looking at drop tests; certainly, however, the result is spectacular. Nice video as always.

[@007KrausBean]

This looks really great, but I agree with you that it is VERY overpriced. If their margins are not large I'm stuck seeing where the material costs are in the product that would justify a $70 price. Excellent work on this.

[@theunknown7683]

6:22 I'm not gonna lie you cutting that cable kinda just felt straight up wrong. I actually winced from that. Great video Hugh. Love from America

Absolutely great video! I like how an e waste becomes “art”. Been watching your videos for a while and all I can say is to keep up the good work!

[@wotererio]

I love the forwardness in your videos. Keeping youtube real. Keep up the great work!

[@dank8357]

Very cool watching someone else do this. About 6 months ago I created my own template and made 10 of these using original 1st gen iPhones. I’ve been listing them on eBay and only have 2 left. Making the template took a while but benefit is being able to easily edit it based on the parts phone I use. I use popsicle sticks for the housing and screen to help the surface area of the glue. I created templates for iPhone X and Apple Watch, but haven’t gotten around to doing them yet. Love the videos. Keep up the good work!

[@AbirTarafdar]

That's awesome Dan. Were you getting decent coin on e-bay?

[@Zerbey]

Salt water really is an electronics killer, the inside of my kid's iPod looked similar when he accidentally dropped it in the ocean. Cool project, but I agree it's a tad pricey for the quality.

[@jindrasmutny4181]

5:10 That’s looking cool, I have never thought about how it works to be honest but man that “map” is looking crazy 😜 I love how you try to save everything from tossing away. I think I’m the same person, I’m never tossing out anything which could be savable or usable one day 😁 this picture is nice example, great video mate 😁

I love this! I recently bought two iPhone SEs from 2016. One of them is still working and I might use it for Spotify with my speakers. The other one I was given as defective, as it is stuck in a boot loop but with some tinkering, thanks to your inspiration, I switched the logic board with the working phone and there seems to be a hardware defect with the broken phone. While I could get the phone to boot up it seems to have been a corporate-owned device and the seller does not respond to my messages anymore. I was totally thinking about disassembling the phone and putting it into such a frame to put it up for display!

[@Pennerman]

@@AyrisX86 Thanks for the tip. Just downloaded it but unfortunately it does not support devices on iOS 15...

It looks like Hugh got a Repair Award of the Masters.

[@nojopro908]

Nice I've got to say I love videos where you work on iPhones I like watching you put up with challenges and iPhones tend to supply that

[@Aman-786]

Your videos are not only very informative but very entertaining

[@lilguygamingandmore]

This is absolutely fantastic

[@almond5892]

8:54 I think it's everything combined like GPU and CPU with the storage and ram included. Not just cpu

[@janvingst]

may i add - i dont think the CPU and NAND missing was for data recovery. i do think they went into spare parts. ^^

[@re-fix9678]

thanks for video👍

[@DodoKing187]

when I saw the corroded parts I thought that it would also be awesome to have a completely corroded phone in the frame, like some ancient greek copper object or statue from 1000yrs ago.

[@mase9975]

Simple green works great for getting rid of rust and using a dremel with a wire brush works really well.

[@nathan_tasker]

Your content is always exceptional and informative, Hugh. I have always been scared to try restoring old technology in the past, but I am considering buying an old iPod, and trying to replace the front panel and battery. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@nathan_tasker]

@s92 that’s going to be the plan mate. Thanks for the feedback and advice.

[@TonyTear]

You should check out the video dankpods made on the ipod classics, theyre really informative and overal an enjoyable channel

[@nathan_tasker]

@@TonyTear thanks for the recommendation mate. Will do.

[@leonkernan]

If you're sending a display and phone to a Yourtuber, you'd think you'd check the important stuff is there. It's pretty sad the SoC is missing considering it's so obvious on the display.

[@RestoreTechnique]

What's the printout made of? Paper? I'm surprised it looked so good glueing onto paper.

[@johndrocky4377]

Long Time SUPER FAN here… I haven’t left many comments but I just wanted to say… THANK YOU 🙏 HUGH JEFFREYS FOR ALL THE AWESOME VIDEOS 🎥& ALL YOU DO TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT “RIGHT TO👨‍🔧REPAIR” 👏💜🔥💙🥊

[@sealwheel]

thank you, you and a couple other people have helped me develop my new hobby. i havent done much, but you’ve led me to saving a few things such as an old iphone 5c laying in a bin and an ipod. there are many more devices to fix.

[@sammy9860]

Just a tip: When screws and bolts are all rusted like that, using PB Blaster is your best bet, I'll help penetrate and loosen them up much better than regular WD-40 👍🏼

[@mattclarenzmendoza7127]

What a new way to decorate and reuse e-waste. Another phone saved from landfills.

[@LEXxTALIONS7913]

It's expensive like you said, but the end result is very cool👍

[@Browns-z6m]

Awesome start to my morning!! Great content as usual Hugh!

[@davidhepworth3956]

I have bought two frames from them, an iPhone 2G and of course the iPhone 5! They arrived really fast under a week to the UK and they look incredible. They look like something Apple could have designed.

[@ilyasg2108]

i got an iphone x from e waste today! it has a cracked screen and camera lens, and the face id doesn’t work due to dust on the face id sensor. i also got an icloud locked 6s plus 128gb and a working 64gb 6. pretty nice.

[@IntegraDIY]

KZbin should give awards like this, to phone repair KZbinrs as a thank you for saving broken phones🙏 🤔 📱 ▶️

[@cadenchurchill4296]

Some very interesting decisions being made here regarding the logic board 😳

[@finnjacobs]

I have the same glue! I used it for repairing a phone tho, not for disassembling it lol

[@androidash]

Another iPhone. I have to be honest, you come across as a real Apple fan boy. There's hundreds of millions of people out there using OnePlus, Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco, Motorola, Sony and more. It'd be nice to see a video we're interested in 😊

[@020progamer]

Hi, Hugh! I’m enjoying your videos. Thanks for making them! I know the minute you post a video, it’s gonna be great! Thanks again! :)

[@peepo2560]

Brilliant!

[@DIYwithBatteries]

Ah Nicely done 👍

[@johndinhvo]

Not sure if I missed anything in the video, but why wasn't the wireless charging coil removed? There is a place for the coil in the template after all

[@thefuturegamer9451]

It’s very cool to have, I did buy the iPhone 5 version as it’s the last iPhone Steve Jobs would have gotten to put his input on before passing, yes I know he died right after the 4s was Revealed in 2011

[@effy_shaym]

To remove rust, try something like Evaporust or oxalic acid.

[@PrinzAquatic]

I think you can buy icloud locked ic board and use it as a good condition replacement, they're good as dead anyway unless you have access to the icloud

[@dimitrischristou]

I’ve been wanting to do that project too for some time now

[@Dwall44]

Another great video hue! One question, has anyone ever heard of a brand of smart phone called Wiko? I got one Friday night from a phone repair place in a Mall in Pennsylvania and I’ve never heard of that brand before.

[@harisnaufal3259]

Its a french mobile brand afaik

could you do another collection video at some point this year

[@dennisleslie]

Why does "wireless charging" point to the bottom portion of the battery?

[@mistermagnifico]

That is one thick watch

[@justcauesproduction]

I can feel the passive aggression from the title.

[@theliamcooke]

Why did you put the battery where it was meant to have the wireless charging coil?

[@finnjacobs]

Hey Hugh, I was wondering what tape you use? The red, small double sided tape. I can't find it online. I currently use liquid adhesive as a back up in case somethings up with the adhesive template, and I'd like to switch to the double sided tape you're using. If you could be kind enough to comment the brand/type or link it, that would be greatly appreciated 👍! Thanks!

[@Bean-cs6vm]

probably tesa tape available in different widths

@@QWERTYQwertz852 thank you sir. My first ever folding phone display replacement, gotta say it took around 3x as long as a typical candy bar phone and wasn't without it's issues at one point I thought I killed the OLED panel itself but thankfully I avoided a $750 mistake there, I told the customer they might be better off just getting a z fold 3 at this point and trading in their 2 but people get very attached to things

It’s like having an art collection of Phone parts and you can actually reassemble them to use it as a working phone :) (in rare cases)

Bruhh I literally planned on making one of these with an Xbox series x/s controller after I use parts from it for my special edition one not too long ago, couldn't find a lot of examples... And now you make one :o I'm 50/50 in limbo trying to decide if I should fix both controllers or make art with one

Well, actually in this youtube channel the iPhone deserves more a frame than Ariana, nice job

Hello, is it possible to share the figma or digital file for the frame, so that I could deassemble and put my components by printing the file!

[@drcyb3r]

6:23 I sadly have an E-Waste iPhone X too. It works perfectly fine, looks great and almost brand new and doesn't have any obvious defects. The only and biggest problem is the iCloud-lock it has. As I got this phone from someone working in a house-clearance company who bought it from the company itself in hope he could use it, I can't get anyone to unlock it because the first owner is most likely dead. I will be looking for a matching set of Face-ID sensor, earpiece, board and sim tray to fix that phone. As I got it for less than an original screen or housing would cost, it wasn't that of a bad deal.

[@ParodieHecker-mobile]

Which iOs version is installed?

[@drcyb3r]

@@ParodieHecker-mobile the newest one. I found some tool that said it could install a jailbreak on an iphone X that is locked. I thought I may be able to use that board as a testing board for future iPhone X models I might repair. Sadly the tool reported it isn't compariblemwith the newest IOS version.

[@ParodieHecker-mobile]

@@drcyb3r That's sad. I wanted to mention that you can actually remove the lock on older versions (If only until the Next factory reset of the phone)

[@drcyb3r]

@@ParodieHecker-mobile Thanks. As I got that phone in a lot of about 7 phones including one broken and one working S7 and an iPhone 6 with a dead battery and some thrash phones I just threw away for just 80€ (88US$), I don't really care about that lock too much. He told me the company sells the good and fully working more expencive stuff in their store and because of some laws here in germany they would have to provide warranty and accept returns if they sell broken stuff in the store which would be really useless so he just gets the broken stuff from there and selling the stuff he doesn't need.
