Tech geniuses have proven more than once that there is practically no pekka that can stop them on their way to achieving their goals. And so you were born the first iPhone with USB-C or hybrid equipped with a second battery, 3.5 mm audio connector, speakers and active coolingits stock became the iPhone 13 Pro Max. And first of all there is the revolutionary iPhone Fold, the world’s first foldable iPhone.
There is no doubt that Apple is working on developing such a device. However, the path to a final product that meets all of its quality requirements can be long. However, don’t let the Apple nerds get away with it. And so Nayan and Edwin, two YouTubers from Hong Kong who perform under the pseudonym Technology Aesthetics, decided to put together such an attempt. And this is to preserve the original structure as much as possible.
The journey to the unusual iPhone, which is talked about but doesn’t exist, was captured in a video they posted on YouTube. This includes, for example, problems with the display, when the third party refused to use a cheap flexible display and opted for the iPhone X display. All non-conductive layers had to be removed from it, so which could be flexible enough to be used in an enclosed structure, yet still retain touch functionality. This was also achieved on the 37th display.
The key was the hinge itself. That of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip proved to be unusable due to its design and the radius of curvature of the display. It was just a hinge of the Motorola Razr i.e. the second smartphone of its kind available in the market. He matched it with the necessary parameters.
The cake that the couple had to eat on the way to their desired destination, however, was more. To preserve the functionality of the structures, a number of controversial decisions had to be made. So, for example, the battery is a quarter the size of the original one, a speaker is missing, and all components of the MagSafe wireless charger are missing.
The current prototype of the old iPhone, designated as version 0.1, which among other things comes with its own software that takes into account the foldable nature of the device, can serve the handyman couple to further improve the construction and design in the future .
