Absolutely amazing. And the fact that it's even faster than the OEM NAND flash 🤯

[@lennylennington]

Thank you for no commentary. Oddly relaxing video lol

[@pryme5837]

6:57 I don't get it: Why are you cnc grinding off the old NAND, if you're going to heat up & remove the remains anyway? I mean you could just heat up and remove the entire NAND? Thx for explaination :-)

[@maciejk2]

i think that he does that because of the fact that motherboard is in reality 2 (or now more, i dont know) pcbs soldered together. i can only guess but if theres a reason for this, its that hot airing the entire thing would cause serious issues

[@ridinggoose4169]

I suppose the temperature of the hot air soldering station needed to remove the black resin would melt away the adjacent solder and/or components. CNC grinding it allows him to use the tip of the soldering iron at that higher temperature (while using the hot air for a better heat spread), but on a smaller area, without affecting the other components/solder.

[@dersebbler9452]

The solder he uses to clean the pads is lead based solder, and that has a much lower metling point to the factory lead free stuff. Thats why he mills the Nand chip away, so he can mix the two solders, lowering the melting point and therefore not run the risk of removing components or weakening factory solder joints.

[@CL-yp1bs]

Lead free solder melts too high. Replace with leaded solder, much safer temperature, no damage.

[@kingsener]

CNC is the safest and most efficient way. Using a hot air gun to remove it normally will cause irreversible damage to other components on the motherboard.

[@Raja995mh33]

The cable sadly isn't any longer 😅 they just packaged it differently

[@LocalSlaveHolder]

I wonder how much cheaper is this procedure than real 1tb iPhone ?

[@fabiolucasdev]

I believe that here in Brazil you would grow a lot. The price difference between a 128GB iPhone 16 Pro Max and the 1TB version is R$3,000.00 (three thousand reais), or US$545.45 (five hundred and forty-five and forty-five cents). In other words, you would make at least US$100 (one hundred dollars) per memory replacement and the cost of the chip would be paid by the customer. And believe me, if you do this here in Brazil, I estimate a profit of US$100,000,000.00 based on the following calculation: In Brazil, there are 242 million cell phones, 37% of which are iPhones. Of these 37%, I guessed 1 million iPhones 16. And if you multiply US$100.00 by 1 million, you will see that you will reach the profit I estimated. And this estimate I made was quite low, and the profit could be much higher. With this profit, it would even be worth opening a branch here in Brazil, it would be enough to pay all the taxes and costs and have a nice amount of money left over. I hope to see you in Brazil!

[@jtry1l]

Which app you're using to restore the ststem?

[@Alex-lc8nk]

amazing work! one question: why can't you de-solder the nand instead of grinding it off?

[@heroicnonsense]

Because de-soldering requires a very high temperature. Combined with the size of the chip, this would put the main PCB at risk. So grinding it off is the safest possible way of removing the chip. Sadly this means destroying the existing NAND.

[@changen4125]

CNC off the NAND lmao. I guess the glue is too hard to remove without damaging the rest of the board.

[@koalaunknown]

It’s soldered not glued.

If you can heat blower installing the new nand, why cant you do it removing the old nand?

[@warriorplutotrent3827]

You have to clean off the pcb before you install the new one thats why. All the glue and residue and resolder the balls

[@warriorplutotrent3827]

You can also use heat to desolder but the resistors are very close on the iPhone 16 so you have to do it very slowly and carefully if using heat to desolder the old chip

[@_MJ07_]

​@@papa_pilo I'm guessing because of the sandwich PCB design, they don't want to heat up the entire thing to a temperature that could desolder the sandwich/components. If the solder is leaded on the new nand, they can use hot air at a much lower temperature to solder it back on without getting the solder on other components to melting temperature.

[@LeeMooEez]

heat is bad for the component longevity etc. the less heat the motherboard and ic experience the better
