this video was helpful because it made me realize i just bought the wrong cable on amazon lol. I thought iphone 13 was already usb c
😂 happy to help
Simply replace the port and you won't need to waste the time by purchasing the lightning one
@@denkasyanov should just get the lightning one cause its not easy to replace, and lightning is better. And i know this is probably a joke. Edit: im just saying what my phone repair-guy said, doing some research i have found out i am wrong, make sure to not take everything you see on the internet to heart.
@@Kenzie1051 lightning is not better
@@Kenzie1051 By what metric is lightning better than USB-C? edit: nevermind, I realize now that you're just a young kid.

The precision that this needs is astounding. I am so surprised you can solder such small parts like that and your CNC skills are better than my actual CNC.
.
no comments!?
Does anyone know why exactly the fast charging only works one way and is not reversible? Im assuming it has something to do with the resistor setup but im kinda unsure. Is it possible to fix that reversible fast charging problem or is it impossible with how the lightning port works?
underrated comment
so is it much faster to transfer prores now?
So beautifully crafted with care and attention to every detail, great work 👍🏻
Woah
👍🏿
All hail
we want meme about this
Nik make a meme abt it please
Now, make the world's first lightning iphone 15
Making a USB-C iPhone 13 from scratch is no small feat and you've nailed it. The dedication, precision and creativity you put into this project are commendable. iPhone 15 has finally used USB-C after he made his iPhone 13 USB-C creation
The end result is stunning. The fit and finish of the USB-C port looks like it came directly from the factory that way !
YEAHHHHH it looks so good that he can almost sell it for 80k.
I wonder what offers he's getting for it
that was the most satisfying part
@@yuria_lu I'm going with a wild guess of Indian Rupees, which would be 1022 USD. A quick search shows that it's about a hundred dollars higher than India's iPhone 13 MSRP.
@@yuria_lu 0:30
Try watching the video
@@rebane2001 No. It's not indian rupees. Try 0:30
I was watching the part where you soldered the connections onto the USB C port thinking "hmm, maybe I could do this" and then looked at my phone and realized how little space that actually is. The skill needed to do that without shorting anything is nothing short of amazing.
And he managed to film it. Great work and skill.
High level technic
Yeah, you'd need a microscope 🔬and to film it... with camera attached
@@deftyfeet fr
Your'd be surprised how well the solder mask works. There are automated soldering setups that just immerse the whole thing in liquid solder, it doesn't come out as one big blob, the resist (the often green coating) repels the solder. Look up drag soldering SMD.
Guy made the USB-C socket for an iPhone before Apple. As others said, soldereing skills and patience are top notch.
Bro made the iPhone 15 two years before apple did.
Way to go 👍👍😇 What a huge pleasure we are to see our boards being one part of your AMAZING work!
But you guys don't have your EDA, he is still using LCEDA🤣
omg pcbway
wow its the actual yt channel lmao
This video is gonna go viral. Beautifully done sir👌🏻And the way you enlarged the charge port hole on the case is so perfect it looks like it was laser cut. Nice job!!
Thanks so much man
I sure hope it does, this man deserves all the effort
It will
@@RestoreTechnique Hi, I really enjoyed the video but I'm kinda curious about why exactly the fast charging only works one way and is not reversible? Im assuming it has something to do with the resistor setup but im kinda unsure. Is it possible to fix that reversible fast charging problem or is it impossible with how modding the lightning port to work with usbc means its impossible to make the fast charging reversible?
Are you saying this because you think this is the first time anyone’s done this? Did you really think a 15 minute video about changing the charging port on a phone would go viral?

Cheers 😀
He did, fast charging only works on one side 14:57
no real need, you will get iphones with usb c in a few years, because EU demands it
@@majstealth and just a note to anyone who comes here to reply to this guy saying that they'll go portless: no they won't, the law itself explicitly says that only devices that are too small to fit a usb-c in aren't obligated to have the port so yeah they aren't allowed to.
@@Hexality shouldnt that read "devices too small to fit a usb-c" ?

@Aloha Akahai let's see if Apple just throws in an adapter cable and keep the lightning port. Do not know exactly what the regulation says that will come into effect late 2024 I think.
Converting the iPhone to USB C is nice an all but mixing the epoxy on the lightning cable box was a nice touch that I really appreciated. Elevated the whole video to the next level in my opinion

It's well deserved, lightning is absolute dogshit
Best hook for a video ever
Apple: "switching our iPhones to use USB-C is going to cost billions in R&D"
This guy:
Building it from scratches
Of course it costs billions… the whole production line has to converted entirely for millions of phones… what’s your point?
@@SkyzzV_ just to prospectively, not retrospective, i guess
@@SkyzzV_ The fact that Apple is using that as an excuse to keep lightning port when they as a company is already worth trillions, already invested tens of billions every year for designing new models. Thus the argument of cost of changing port has no place especially when some hobbyist on TH-cam is able to build one and the fact that they already use USB-C on iPad Pro and MacBooks.
@@SkyzzV_ LMAO. changed once. not a million times.
Now change iPhone 15 back to lightning 💀😂
Here we are today with a iPhone 15 with USB C

@@latafairam all subs are created equal (and treasured 😁)
@@RestoreTechnique i believe in you if you do it
You absolute mad lad. You installed a type C charging port in a modern iphone without having to resort to any tools that are particularly expensive. Your "CNC" skills are next-level, and I am genuinely envious of both your skills and the finished result. I wish I could pay you to do this to my phone, but I doubt I could afford it. Chances are I'll have to wait for Apple to make the switch to type C due to EU regulations. Here's hoping they actually make the switch!
Apple is likely to remove the charging port altogether and use only wireless charging just to spite the EU.
whats cnc
@@mot3600official ur mom
They are forced to make the switch. The next iPhones will all be usb-c
@@randy45 in Europe*
Bro changed the only thing that was making the iPhone 13 different from the iPhone 15
Now, iPhone 15 has a usb-c !
saw the event live
The time, patience, skill and knowledge shown is insane. The fact that it has a factory finish from the outside is also crazy.
Have to admit I didn't expect much when clicking on this video but you really did an unbelievably good job on that conversion.
Thanks
Why was i recommend this video just after the iPhone 15 USB-C announcement?😅
Please put a lightning port on a 15 😂
You did a FANTABULOUS job man.. Apple sees & noted down there's a space and make the next iphone frame even TIGHTER, so none would modify the iphone 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️.... Apple, if you really care for the WORLD'S ENVIRONMENT, you should have introduced the usb c on your phone, instead of removing the CHARGER...
They can just widen the frame with power tools lol
Not with Apple finally being forced to use USB C by 2024. Thank you EU
Apple will be forced to have usb port C soon btw else they out of market,
everyone would have to throw away their old lightning cables which would be worse for the environment
@@daniyalkhizar not really, both the metal and plastic can very easily be recycled .
Being an engineer at heart, I love when someone calls out a big tech like Apple w/ examples, for their incredible stubbornness that only serves the dark-pattern of locking to their absurd "lightning cable" standard.
Crazy that Apple, a company that takes pride in creating the best product for its users, argued "regulatory action stifles innovation" when EU had to force them to move to USB-C. This example clearly shows that they could put a USB-C without any major design compromise.
Do better Apple!
Regulatory action may stiffle innovation, but when was the last time Apple innovated a new charging cable?
Appreciated sir type c way far superior from old git grandad Apple iPhone user.
@@akaraven66 Lol. Solid argument.
@@tombaker9341 the one thing lightning is still better is damage resistance. USBC has the contacts in the middle on a thin plate. This plate can get damaged when cleaning and break.
@@akaraven66 now that's an valid point
Apple:
"Oh! So that's how you do it....💀
That was very impressive! I love seeing these types of videos. I can tell there was a lot of forethought and dedication that went into this project.
This is one the most impressive things I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Video editing and quality - excellent. Voice to music volume ratio - perfect. You deserve to be much bigger. Other creators should come to take notes even if they not interested in the content. And if they are - Attention to detail, precision and camera work all A plus. If I had only one like to use for 2022 this would be it.
I agree. Unique level of brilliance.

Hey! I’m the guy who made the first usb-c iPhone. I enjoyed watching your video and am glad you could replicate the concepts of my video on the iPhone 13, with your own twist and originality on it.
Some comments:
03:17 I’m not sure if you use some heat to remove that glue, but it decreases the chances of ripping/breaking components underneath
05:31 I’m a bit confused why you needed two 5.1kOhms resistors. R2, sure, and that would limit the charging speed (no fast charging) when the USB-C is plugged in one of the two ways. I see you mention that at the end of the video. But I don’t believe R1 is needed.
Wow amazing project
Hey Kenny Pi, thanks for watching!!
Yeah I don't think I was using any heat to remove that glue on the flex, even though I did use heat when removing glue on the C94. But unlike the iPhone X charging flex, it's got those tiny components butted right up against the ports pins, so I don't know how I was going to desolder the port really.
I have seen many people add usb-c to various devices and use a 5.1k resistor on both CC pins. Wasn't sure if it was necessary tbh 😕
Thanks for your great video. Yours was definitely a better build internally with everything on the flexible circuit board, way cleaner, and also less obtrusive around the battery.
I originally started this project at the end of November, trying to get something made by the end of December or January, so i tried a simpler approach, but the project dragged on and on and life got in the way. Was tempted to try and get fast charging working both ways, but decided to just call it. ✌️
cmiiw, but I believe those 5.1k resistors are for type-c to type-c connections and let the connected device (in this case a computer) know it's not a host device, if not you'll need to use a type a to type c cable for it, I only work with custom keyboard PCBs but that's all I know
I think that the only one way fast charging is perfect: just do a dot on the side of the cable that charges fast the phone, so you'll have a fast charging mode for the day and a slow charging mode for the night when you don't need crazy speed
@@RestoreTechnique you guys should do a collab video!
You should make the first lightning-port Iphone 15.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m super impressed that you can go online and have 10 little custom pcbs made to order!

I think the real reason they can do this in affordable price is that they gather a lot of these small orders and put them together on one big pcb to minimize material loss and time spent on each pcb.

yay usb-c is mandatory now
Damn, that is an impressive engineering job, may your USB-C iPhone too sell for eighty thousand dollars or more. Better sell it soon before Apple releases their own lol...
Yes i hope he does get it sold for a lot. He put a lot of effort into it.
Yes i strongly suggest too
New iPhones and iOS are starting to really tempt me but I refuse to jump until USB-C comes around. Bravo man this is a marvellous mod!
It’s either coming in 2023 or never (they might switch to only wireless charging)
USB-C might come to iPhones after the notorious EU law will be put in place
It's coming sooner than most people think. The EU will make usb-c a mandatory standard.
@Carl Gunderson Yeah. And you seem to misunderstand how much expensive it is to have 2 lines of production for the same product. So if a continent worth 800 millions of potential customers obliges you to do something, you do it. And generally it applies worldwide. Heck, California could pass a law like this and it would also apply worldwide. It already happened okce
@Carl Gunderson I doubt Apple would only make them for the European market, in fact I suspect that they will only make usb-c devices and phase out thunderbolt
This is what we’re waiting for the new iPhone 15 release in September 12th of 2023. It would have the same USB-C cable as the 13 you’ve modified. Instead of using the original lightning cable from older iPhones, this cable would be required for couple of reasons and I like to see the full release for the 2023 Apple Event, and your engineering is awesome!
