iPhone 12 Restoration - Is it worth the effort?

[@1fjeflistens]

In addition to your surgical skills, your camera, and mic are grade A. Soo satisfying.

[@RestoreTechnique]

That's great, thanks! I'm always worrying about the audio, thinking it sounds crappy, or music too loud/soft, narration too loud/soft. 😀

[@haluyolo7568]

Finally a channel that doesn't do fake "my phone is broken I send it to you please fix it" kind of script

[@letbruheerianbruh]

Just give him an award for that

[@dizzy84535]

JAI phone script😂

[@Super_Mia]

you mean, some does that?

[@gperme1993]

I always appreciate how thorough you are with your phone repairs. Crazy what you had to do to get the battery working without the warning notification

[@miroslavmilan]

Speaking of which, I thought the add-on little circuit board only needed to stay on temporarily, in order to fool the iPhone it’s a genuine battery, and possibly to reset the cycle count to zero using the battery programmer. At least that’s what I seem to remember watching other repair videos. Or is that model-dependent too, and Apple cracked down on this yet again, forcing the dongle to stay on? 😢

[@teevoapp]

@@miroslavmilan yes, need to keep the tag-on flex on the battery

[@TheJohnRowley]

I wasn't confident this one would go well given the state of it - but you did it! That lucky little fella was saved from landfill for a few more years thanks to you 😇

[@RestoreTechnique]

Thanks John 👌

[@TheJohnRowley]

: ) @@RestoreTechnique Watched this morning when I was kind of working. Day done and on my second watch through with full attention and enjoying the gross macro-shots of crud cleaning and all the little ambient sounds.

[@RestoreTechnique]

@@TheJohnRowley Could you tell that I was making the sounds for the earpiece cleaning? 😄

[@TheJohnRowley]

State of the art sound effects 😁@@RestoreTechnique

[@_King_Tech_]

This is one of the most precise iphone repair that I've ever seen! Well done mate!👏👏

[@akshaygurnal2087]

19:20 That Cleaning sound of earpiece grill coming out of your mouth was hilarious 😂

[@RestoreTechnique]

😄 Forgot to record audio on that hehe

[@PBKreviews]

lol. When they tell you, "I have never installed a passcode on the phone, I'm sure of it". Then 20 minutes later they tell you "But you can try XXXX and see if it works", and it somehow magically works.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Haha yeah, this guy "shouldn't be a passcode..." 😆

[@Wierie_]

Great video, very entertaining to watch a pro. First time I've seen the battery replacement be a 100% success.

[@DanielTheBigD]

The Face ID edit and criminal records joke cracked me up 😂

[@EduhSama]

I had the frame completely refurbished once, i m never doing it again. Now I only buy the frame with the small parts already on it from aliexpress.

[@Nikkerston]

i was suprised that the display wasnt even cracked seeing what the phone has gone through

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yeah same, I was prepared for a screen replacement

[@Triggas]

Ngl, probably the best phone repair format ive ever seen.

[@ruinleon2639]

Biggest concern on wanting to rebuild iphones is the icloud lock fears so props to you for finding a real deal to unlock it with

[@Anonymous-bz8sd]

3:10 too cute 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Australia has no criminal history! 👏👏 love it

[@Bodyaa]

13:06 expert precision made me laugh a lot 😆. Otherwise, nice restore, mate!

[@RestoreTechnique]

Cheers dude 😄

[@rethor35712]

Watching this after someone broke my iphone screen while replacing the battery, your skills are really fascinating.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Cheers mate

[@lisarayner3091]

Another masterpiece from you. The detail is so good. And I love the way you're adding in the subtle dry humour. Very cute! And how good is it that @PCBWay sponsors you? They're the perfect company for it because of their extensive range of tech products and components.

[@madoca.8290]

Wow,was für eine professionelle Reparatur.Mein Respekt für diese Arbeit. Danke

[@T3CHGY007]

That battery pull was the best ASMR ever!

[@RestoreTechnique]

😄🤌

[@satsumagt5284]

It was clearly the earpiece cleaning

[@RestoreTechnique]

@@satsumagt5284 😆

[@T3CHGY007]

I think this has been the most intense iphone repair that I have ever seen!

[@RestoreTechnique]

😄 haha cool

[@harmonic5107]

The ringer going off sent me into panic mode 😂 been working on call in IT for 5 years now. Scrambled to check my phone before I realized. Nicely done audio trick there. Not sure how you made it sound like it was in the room rather than from headphones. The rest of the repair was great as well, as always with your channel.

[@harmonic5107]

Wow, the struggle you had to go through with the battery is pretty intense. My experience is limited to a galaxy s8 and s10. But I can't say I've ever seen that kind of anti repair BS before.

[@SpareiPhone-n6t]

That’s also my work alarm it also freaked me out on my day off

[@finnjacobs]

3:58 what kinda charger is that? I love how you tested literally ALL the functions

[@RestoreTechnique]

Wireless charger built into a couch. I don't actually own a wireless charger so had to use my housemates couch 😄

[@atomicorang]

❤I appreciate your professionalism and patience❤

[@gabbazeck1]

@RestoreTechnique you dont have to reprogramm the battery on the pc. after you installed the bypass tool on the battery you have to start the phone with the charger. then it will show 100%. greetings!

[@RestoreTechnique]

Ah ok thanks

[@AntiIlluminati_GR]

I enjoyed every single sec. Professional work! Thank you a lot for sharing.

[@joesaiditstrue]

i could watch these videos all day

[@endlessengineering1488]

Very satisfying to see and Hear a fellow Aussie

[@Anonymous-sf2wk]

I wish i would have learned to do these types of things, It must be really cool to know how to restore these products!

[@login415]

This is the only asmr channel in my subs now

[@Al_skeptical]

Yeah probably I'm not the only one who held his breath while watching him remove the screen Well done mate

[@abreezyyt1705]

Thats a lot of work and the profit of not much. But still a satisfying to watch 👍🏻

[@cwdaniels4]

I was not going to subscribe, but when you dropped the rear speaker with expert precision ... I had to ;-)

[@jayvansickle7607]

I had no idea that I’d watch the whole process…. But that was amazing.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Haha yay

[@MiroLakosil]

Recording it all with a Samsung. Loving that! 🙂 Great restoring work as always of course. 👍

[@RestoreTechnique]

Cheers 😄

[@worldlyobserver]

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Recently I just got a new iPhone 12 Pro Max through insurance since mine looked pretty recked only cost 99$ absolutely worth it

[@christopherwood12]

Never knew the iPhone 12 port is the same as the colour of the phone

[@mexagodtvg8937]

I’m gonna use the battery that was already in my 12 and put it into the new housing case, should be in good condition

[@PerMejdal]

I think you should have bought a case with the small parts included, and it was unnecessary to replace the battery. This would have saved a lot of time and some money. Making it more worth your time. However I am glad to see the replacement of these parts in the video.

[@RestoreTechnique]

The frame with all the small parts costs $200. Profit would be almost nothing.

[@jyashgaming]

You have just engaged me for 20mins and i am not aware of that....amazing restoration video dude...enjoyed it..😄😄

[@thewaffle3945]

do u remember or could u give link to ur screwdrivers to iphones? cuz same here want to restore and sell phones

[@RestoreTechnique]

Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to put that in the tools list in description: m.rewa.tech/detail/refox-rs-1-rice-series-2d-screwdriver-kit-for-iphone-repair.html

How patiently he did it while keeping us entertained 👍🏼👌🏼

[@clintmonroe9143]

Excellent cleaning sounds effects for the ear piece grill mate. Brought me right into the moment

[@davidrl41]

I have NEVER been successful doing this 7:11 - any tips from anyone? This is a great video, very satisfying. Worth it? I think this kind of effort is always worth the experience you gain. Unfortunately, by selling it you won't be able to recover the true bench rate.. as if the owner was bringing this unit in for repair. Thanks for the video. Very enjoyable!

[@PCBWay]

We just enjoy so much your phone repair seriesss

[@codelinx]

Wow sound effects at 19:16 are definitely in the running for sound effects of the year!🤯🤩

[@Rhudvdmdir]

Its definitely worth it I’ve made $12 on certain stuff but if I do it over and over it adds up

[@ionutmih97]

This video satisfied my OCD

[@RestoreTechnique]

Great 😄

[@legithacks7342]

Good job m8. Just one more tip: you can buy original apple display adhesive stripes from self service repair program. Kind regards

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

Transitioning from red to blue is like having a new iPhone lol

With the rubber ring u should've left the buttons red so it'll look cool

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yeah true, that would've looked cool. I did that with the Samsung S8 I restored, with black phone and pink buttons/accents.

[@_DreamzGaming]

@@RestoreTechnique cool, I'll check that too!

Pro tip - the tag on flex can be removed after programming the battery to 100%. No need to keep it inside the phone

bro, you did an impeccable job.

Your video can get better, but your work is amazing

[@koenhuisbrink]

The original battery is smaller for a reason. The battery expand after a few years a few milimiters. This new battery is quite dangerous if you ask me...

[@bruman182]

268 AUD seems a bit steep for a 12. Came out years before. I bet that seller was happy

[@АртёмКулиш-ф5ш]

Its cheaper in most cases when you know: what to buy, what right price for this buying and first of all - how to fix it in right way without damaging any modules.

[@suloshi.]

You should make a lightning iPhone 15 when it comes out.

recive? You mean adhesive? This: m.rewa.tech/detail/for-apple-iphone-12-12-mini-12-pro-12-pro-max-screen-repair-tape-waterproof-seal-sticker-replacement.html

Cleaning the grids of the iPhone 12 I drilled two of them, I should replace the grids on the right and left in the articular the one where you replaced the orange colour part and the one on the left. I bought the kit you showed on video but unfortunately I can't find any video how to replace the grids

[@chinhinh8068]

This is so satisfying to watch! Lots of care and dedication put into the phone and the video itself. Love it! You just earned one sub! Love the little humor “I’m very bendy” from Friends in the beginning too lol

88% still a good battery. But WOW, I'm amazed by the ways to bypass apple's system.

[@elmerganzan9131]

Nice job and it's amazing talent, using tools and hightech gadgets, thanks boss.

[@timsmotorcyclediary]

What about the labor charge? That’s a huge item of most repair jobs. Regardless, that was entertaining to watch. Subscribed.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Thanks dude 😀 Yeah labour charge is the profit, which I earn for doing the job.

[@olpo2001]

If you put the phone in DFU, reset, then you can enter Lock Screen code to remove AppleID lock.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Ok thanks for the tip 😀

WoW, what remarkable skills. With all that trouble and expensive parts you need to buy, i have to say it doesn't look really worth it with just $175 profit. The repairing process was very satisfying to watch tho

only bad thing on this restoration is that you changed to the worst color /joke but seriously i love seeing things getting restored and i think that what you done it’s really awesome
