I built a like-new(but really refurbished) iPhone 6S 16GB entirely from parts I bought in the public cell phone parts markets in Huaqiangbei. And it works!
How much did it cost? Answer here: • How Much Does it Cost ...
I've been fascinated by the cell phone parts markets in Shenzhen, China for a while. I'd walked through them a bunch of times, but I still didn't understand basic things, like how they were organized or who was buying all these parts and what they were doing with them.
So when someone mentioned they wondered if you could build a working smartphone from parts in the markets, I jumped at the chance to really dive in and understand how everything works. Well, I sat on it for nine months, and then I dove in.

Probably the only iPhone assembled by an american
if you watch it in reverse its about a guy who takes his new phone apart and sells all the pieces to random shops in china
Did you pre-order the new iPhone 8? "Nah dawg I flew to China and made my own"

For a tech fan, Huaqianbei is a paradise on earth. I bought an used iPad there, changed the drive from 16 to 32Gb, and the battery. 5 years later, the battery life is still impressive and device runs very well, except it doesn’t support newest os. You can literally have any electronic spare parts you want in that market
china got the most randomest items and got a full store dedicated to it. thats dope
People of China, hats off.
Apple: iPhone out of stock
I watched this video about a year ago, and I wish I viewed this much, much sooner. It has since inspired me to fix and repair any broken iPhone, and I have sold and given away a number fully refurbished iPhones in the process. Now, I will never need to buy a brand new phone, ever again! thank you Scotty! 🙏📱👌🏼
I probably saw some of my Ebay sellers
People in China are real af. They know how to grind and hustle.
This was just fantastic to watch! How you built this phone from all the parts you managed to get including the laser engraving. Thanks for sharing!
I'm absolutely mind blown. You gained 75,000 subs and over 4 million views on your first video ever alone! Congrats man!
Revisiting a master piece. Ah, the good old days.
I've seen a few of your past videos but this is the one that made me subscribe. Amazing content.
Final cost is about $300 USD according to the merchants in the video. Personally, I think this is not about the money or time he spent on the phone, it's something that he enjoyed to do with it.
the guy in the repair shop was actually so accurate and precise when he was rebuilding the screen.A small repair shop has defeated apple's apple care
"I really like Apple engineering its so easy to repair their phones" aged like milk
And that's the shop I want to build. Complete set of machines and talented people
