"CPU the same as in pixel 3", "screen same as in galaxy S10", etc.) and finished product wouldn't look like a finished and assembled phone. The lockscreen problem itself shows how unprepared he was for this video, but that's another story.

The reason you won't find Android parts in a backalley store is because the is no need for that, you can order replacement parts directly from the manufacturer. The entire reason this market exists for iPhones is that Apple refuses to sell their parts to shops and individuals that don't want to pay their apple certification fee.

[@leonardomazza8170]

And the same goes for other Apple products, such as iMacs. Ultimately as he said, this abundance of iPhone parts is also due to the fact Apple releases fewer models compared to other companies.

[@BrawndoQC]

​@@kvviingu2507 It's stored on the phone. There's a reason why Apple wants you to pay between $269 and $329 to replace your home button, and it's security. When Apple introduced its Touch ID sensor for the iPhone 5s, the company needed to reassure its customers. Your fingerprints don't get uploaded to Apple's servers. So accepting third party replacements could hack the stored prints.

Next challenge: build your own "cyberpunk" smartphone using different parts that is compatible (or maybe you can adapt) to it, choosing what screen you want, what cameras, ports, speakers, and more Sometimes I think if it's possible today, to build your own custom DIY smartphone, choosing what models and parts of the components do you want, like the mainboard, chipset, cameras, speakers, sensors, screen. If you can find or order such a variety of tech components and custom components on China at the point that you can build a advanced piece of tech like a smartphone, will be wild, a glimpsy of the future

I think the reason some companys removed the 3.5mm headphone jack from their devices. Is cause they think it's either obsolete OR they wanted create a device with less of a bezel. There is some nice smartphones from companys that has a 3.5mm headphone jack and dont have much of a bezel at all near the headphone jack.
