I am a Japanese repairman and I have been watching your videos. I would like to know the name of the machine that cleanly removes the display sticker or battery sticker when repairing an iPhone.
Just wow! I’m amazed at how meticulous you were while working on this beautiful iPhone 16-1TB Thank you for allowing us to see you at work, I for one was so gobsmacked 😮 I hope you are well and in good health.
6:57 I don't get it: Why are you cnc grinding off the old NAND, if you're going to heat up & remove the remains anyway? I mean you could just heat up and remove the entire NAND? Thx for explaination :-)
i think that he does that because of the fact that motherboard is in reality 2 (or now more, i dont know) pcbs soldered together. i can only guess but if theres a reason for this, its that hot airing the entire thing would cause serious issues
I suppose the temperature of the hot air soldering station needed to remove the black resin would melt away the adjacent solder and/or components. CNC grinding it allows him to use the tip of the soldering iron at that higher temperature (while using the hot air for a better heat spread), but on a smaller area, without affecting the other components/solder.
The solder he uses to clean the pads is lead based solder, and that has a much lower metling point to the factory lead free stuff. Thats why he mills the Nand chip away, so he can mix the two solders, lowering the melting point and therefore not run the risk of removing components or weakening factory solder joints.
CNC is the safest and most efficient way. Using a hot air gun to remove it normally will cause irreversible damage to other components on the motherboard.
@@taanmaay I’d bet it is around half of the price of buying it from Apple? That would be around USD250 in western markets, not sure how much is that difference in China.
I was like oh cool did Apple make it finally possible to upgrade storage with some additional work? "CNC grinding off 128gb NAND" .... oh. nevermind I guess.
Amazing video, but out of curiosity: Will that still be waterproof later on? Shouldn't the adhesive between the back and the sides be renewed too, or is that sealed enough?
Because de-soldering requires a very high temperature. Combined with the size of the chip, this would put the main PCB at risk. So grinding it off is the safest possible way of removing the chip. Sadly this means destroying the existing NAND.
You can also use heat to desolder but the resistors are very close on the iPhone 16 so you have to do it very slowly and carefully if using heat to desolder the old chip
@@papa_pilo I'm guessing because of the sandwich PCB design, they don't want to heat up the entire thing to a temperature that could desolder the sandwich/components. If the solder is leaded on the new nand, they can use hot air at a much lower temperature to solder it back on without getting the solder on other components to melting temperature.
I've seen a lot of these videos expanding the memory on Iphones, but I've never seen on android devices. Is it not possible to expand the memory on Pixel or Samsung phones? Any idea why that is??
in other videos, they do a leak test by putting the device under vacuum, I think they simply did not show the step for this device or they test the nand change and do the vacuum test later.
Awesome job and awesome vid, superior craftsmenship here. Quick q: Can Apple detect the change in hardware or maybe one better would be is Apple doing anything to restrict this in the future?

That cut from delicate disassembly to CNC grinding is hilarious. Amazing!
I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if billions of bits suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
That was fast considering the iPhone 16 just recently launched! Amazing work as always, very precise and professional.
Yep.
nothing really has changed. same parts but with mor epower
@@benchoddept.3857 yes but the internals are redesigned he’s capabilities of understanding these new changes are really good
@@benchoddept.3857You Ungrounded Phones 📱 Good :)
Epic!
First couple minutes, I'm thinking - I can totally do that. Then I saw the CNC machine....
multitool should work - good luck!
@@gabydewilde sand paper, HPF2 face mask and a lot of patience will do the job too.
Why can’t the Nand be desoldered like in older iphones?
@@HNedel u can it just requires a lot more work and is more riskier
hats off to the intricate workmanship !! super clean !
Hands down one of the best at this. So much precision and care to doing this. You make it look so easy and it might be but requires such steady hands
it doesnt look easy

It's like old 2GB SD cards nobody needs them anymore 128GB is usless these days.

@Terminal_Apotos don't upgrade your storage then

Incredible. The right tools for the job, and a result probably better than new off the factory line.

Lead free solder melts too high. Replace with leaded solder, much safer temperature, no damage.

Absolutely amazing. And the fact that it's even faster than the OEM NAND flash 🤯
When I saw the CNC start, I definitely made a sound like a honking goose.
You are truly ASMR.
how much do you charge for that?

@@Snowsea-gs4wu please 🙏 close your lips , he didn't ask you, he clearly asked the youtuber to see if its worth getting storage upgraded... !
You have great skills.
Does your company do storage expansion in USA ?
Good work
2 questions, what is the powdery substance your applying @ 7:22 and the dark liquid @ 8:00 ? Thank You!
Most likely nebulized rosin flux for 7:22, and the other some kind of UV curing resin/glue
This dude has more manufacturing skills than most countries
I was like oh cool did Apple make it finally possible to upgrade storage with some additional work?
"CNC grinding off 128gb NAND"
....
oh. nevermind I guess.
CNC machine on that flash was insane
Thank you for no commentary. Oddly relaxing video lol
Can one install more than 1tb?
There are bigger chips I’ve seen, just don’t know if the controller would accept those.
NAND with a capacity of more than 1T cannot be implanted at this time.
@@kingsener then what's the point of this service? does it cost less this way?
FYI, the length of the data cable is the same as before.
How much do you charge for this service?
You just nailed Apple 🍏🍎
1 TiB is already commercially available. If it was 2, 4, or 8 TiB, then it would be interesting.
I think it cost him cheaper
yeah but its a lot cheaper with him doing it himself
Bro you are truly amazing, greetings from Tunisia
That was satisfying to watch! Great work
straight up shredded that 128gb lol
Do you guys have a physical location in Shenzhen that offers this NAND upgrade service?
The cable sadly isn't any longer 😅 they just packaged it differently
CNC off the NAND lmao. I guess the glue is too hard to remove without damaging the rest of the board.
It’s soldered not glued.
The only video which motivates me to travel China
Well, they didnt make it any harder for you! Always cool watching you do this mod!
This is like visual asmr
How are they testing the disk installation prior to assembling all other parts? May be there is a way or pure confidence?
amazing.. i was blown away at CNC drilling off the original chip.. I guess it could not be removed via heating?
I can hear water dripping in your video lol
Impresionante lo limpio y preciso del proceso 🎉🎉
Amazing! May I ask how much do you charge for this?
as always 200$ for each 256gb :) apple
I want to know the price too. Also where are you located?
@@adredy fair

Amazing video, but out of curiosity: Will that still be waterproof later on? Shouldn't the adhesive between the back and the sides be renewed too, or is that sealed enough?
I love how the nand is grinded off the board. Those torque drivers, do they make them for samsung too?
There are ones for Apple and Android.
@@kingsener where can they be bought?
that was fast thanks for showing it can be done!
I don't suppose this voids the warranty.
Did you not water proof it and air tight seal it?
No aftermarket seal available for the 16 series yet.
Where can I send you my phone to do the same? And how much does it cost?
Congratulations...
RIP Successful
Awesome video!
Super clean 🔥🔥🫡
wow you is best, thank you for this best video...
i never seen before like this video...
I take my hat off. well done
You know it's a good video when you hear the heavy fan noise
Holly molly, Half of my life is just packed is such small piece 😮😮😮
I wonder how much cheaper is this procedure than real 1tb iPhone ?
You are the best.I wish you were in my country ❤
my iPhone 15 Plus 512GB scored 93845 in that same benchmark
Where do you even get the nand from ?
old iphone ?
@@adredy bro the phone just fucking came out
@@Rockardo_ these chips are pretty readily available in China, and that’s where they are based.
@@Rockardo_ old meaning old model
amazing work! one question: why can't you de-solder the nand instead of grinding it off?
Because de-soldering requires a very high temperature. Combined with the size of the chip, this would put the main PCB at risk.
So grinding it off is the safest possible way of removing the chip. Sadly this means destroying the existing NAND.
I really thought iPhone's nvme storage is faster than Samsung's UFS 4.0.
This is nuts! How much does this cost to have done?
my hands are stable enough to do this work anymore lol...very nice indeed
big applause to KingSener
This probably shows how Apple create their larger sized iPhones considering their upgrade prices. 😂
Why are you surrounding the new NAND package in UV resin?
why does this exist is it cheaper to upgrade this way?
If you already have a CNC machine it certainly makes it viable.
Already !
Where in the UK can I get this done?
It would be cheaper to just buy a phone than this lol
This can only be done in technologically advanced countries such as China
@@AG-sx9ws lol
Just search for iphone memory upgrade. Or microsoldering services and go from there.
If you can heat blower installing the new nand, why cant you do it removing the old nand?
You have to clean off the pcb before you install the new one thats why. All the glue and residue and resolder the balls
You can also use heat to desolder but the resistors are very close on the iPhone 16 so you have to do it very slowly and carefully if using heat to desolder the old chip
@@papa_pilo I'm guessing because of the sandwich PCB design, they don't want to heat up the entire thing to a temperature that could desolder the sandwich/components. If the solder is leaded on the new nand, they can use hot air at a much lower temperature to solder it back on without getting the solder on other components to melting temperature.
heat is bad for the component longevity etc. the less heat the motherboard and ic experience the better
all comments in this thread are wrong. it's because there is an epoxy glue under the factory chip
The legend to destroy every small Nand!
What's wrong with the apple 's face?🤣
Is the NAND the same as the 15 pro/max?
128GB chip turned into dust. 🥲
as it should
@@arvs7356real
I think the cost is equal or less then it , It would better to buy the 1 TB variant.
I've seen a lot of these videos expanding the memory on Iphones, but I've never seen on android devices. Is it not possible to expand the memory on Pixel or Samsung phones? Any idea why that is??
because they are cheaper, and most non flagship android phone have mSD card slot
Obliterating the 128 GB NAND was the biggest flex I didn't expect
I need someone that does this in my country, iPhones are being expensive here
what about water resistance? I mean you just closed it like that. weren't you supposed to renew the adhesive band?
My question too, he doesn't have one available yet, no waterproofness, no stencil sticker under screen yet available
It's too early to get the necessary sealings. He can do that easily if this stuff will be available.
in other videos, they do a leak test by putting the device under vacuum, I think they simply did not show the step for this device or they test the nand change and do the vacuum test later.
Because the waterproof glue is not in stock yet😭
Thank you😊
GRINDING THE NAND OFF?! Is that seriously what we'd have to do?!... holy cow.
Apple final boss fight!
