A Chinese YouTube content producer made the first foldable iPhone by using pieces of a foldable phone on the market and making it work normally, even before Apple actually started participating in this new smartphone market.
Apple is associated with entering the world of foldable devices, despite the fact that the company has not yet announced its plans for this new market, while major companies, led by Samsung, are increasingly investing in foldable devices.
And speaking of crazy jobs, he did it YouTuber A Chinese made an already foldable iPhone by combining the iPhone X with parts of the already foldable Motorola Razr phone.
In his video, the YouTuber talks about getting parts from different iPhones to make the first foldable iPhone: he took out the internals of the iPhone X and other devices and packed them inside the Motorola Razr’s clamshell-shaped chassis. which can be folded horizontally. Finally, to a foldable iPhone in the style of the Galaxy Z Flip.
Of course, the process wasn’t as straightforward as he says in the previous paragraph, as he adds that it took careful construction and a lot of trial and error to get everything to work properly.
The YouTuber’s ultimate goal was to provide all the iPhone parts he needed, and he also claimed to have tested several hinges to make the phone foldable, including the hinges of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip, but ultimately chose the pivotal Moto Razr because it resulted in the least amount of screen ripples.
The team also had to 3D print some parts to complete the meticulous process, they also impacted battery life, and built a tiny 1,000mAh cell only in the phone, with no wireless charging or MagSafe charging.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Apple’s first officially produced folding screen iPhone will be the same in the YouTuber model, but the American giant will add different touches in a market that’s still in the early stages of its inception.
