A DIY Chinese professional created a foldable iPhone. Was Not an easy task.
Prefer Razr to Flip zipper
It’s the first time we’ve heard of an unambitious project, and of course, they failed to get it right with the Motorola Razr’s hinge.
The hackers used the “jailbreak”, to help with the suboptimal touch with the folding function, they installed their own software. Of course, if you’re a developer you can sign and beta test your apps, but according to the translation, that shouldn’t be what happened in this context. The app probably needs to have access to more than Apple allows.
Mini battery and 3D printing
The top of the device houses the motherboard and the bottom the battery.
And this is a much bigger project than that: we’re talking here that they had to 3D print components and make a special battery of just 1000mAh to have room for everything. However, a speaker, wireless charging, and MagSafe had to be removed.
This is version 0.1 as the hacker plans to continue refining the process. My guess is that it will go further before Apple considers doing something similar.
