The device is eBay-in Pillonel announced, the bid started at a dollar, and at the end of the auction, someone finally bought it for more than eighty-six times the original price of the phone. Although the transformation process streamed online and made videos for YouTube, the engineer does not recommend anyone to use the prototype as an everyday phone.
Moreover, it does not recommend disassembling or updating the operating system. The reason behind the rigor is that any of the things listed can easily ruin the connector currently used for charging and data transfer in your phone.
The young engineer posted everything on the net about how he redesigned Apple’s C94 connector, how he made his own flexible PCB, and how he installed the new connector. THE To Verge said that no matter how he got rid of the prototype, he won’t give up on the iPhone’s USB-Cs conversion, he plans to try to figure out how to use the connector for fast charging and accessories, and make the connector waterproof.

By auctioning the prototype and the GitHubon disclosing all the descriptions of what he did and how he did it, Pillonel hopes it will be teamwork from his individual project.
