How I Upgraded My iPhone Memory 800% - in Shenzhen, China

- This is my journey in Shenzhen, China to learn how to upgrade the memory in my iPhone 6s from 16GB to 128GB. I've been hearing for several years that this was something the repair shops here in Huaqiangbei could do, and I'd even seen one do it to a friends phone, so naturally, I had to learn how to do it myself. It was harder than I thought.

He can add a headphone jack to an iPhone, add storage to an iPhone, but cannot dualboot windows on mac
Boudz Bazz exactly, first thing that came to my mind
girlsdrinkfeck 😂😂😂😂 Nice meme
Yup.... I think the kind thing to do here is to assume TH-cam money means he doesnt care and not that he doesnt know.
I thought he could just go to a friend or library!!! What the fuck, he needs 1 Windows program for a few hours, proceeds to buy a new computer
Boudz Bazz lol
He didnt even rage when he face problem.he just smile and thinks a solution
I think that part was edited out. I believe I saw a few new dents in the walls around the shop after each new failed attempt.🤣😂
well they build everything there and can literally fix it all they have all the tools not like here in the US
@@tonytrilex2555 Here in the U.S. we have politic getting in the way of us having all the tools we need. Here comes another Tariff, now the Cool $175 Heat Sink is $1,395 dollar from Oversea.
Thats his key to success

Hey scotty! When the real iPhone didn’t boot it’s because the kernel data backup only backs up the core info of the chip (this does not include iOS ). So when it didn’t boot and was in recovery mode that was because it didn’t have an operating system installed. This is normal as I do these upgrades on a daily basis (I own a repair shop in Vancouver Canada called ring ring repair). Love your vids. Keep up the good work man!
@sunlite1231 does restoring works? Just like how scottie did in the last part
@sunlite1231 easy bypass 2020 i cloud screenlock
Do you upgrade memory like ing the vid? If so, how much would u charge to upgrade mine to a 128 gig? Thx
Cool!
Hey could you upgrade to 1 terabyte
Watching you push through the obstacles, practicing and reworking your methods is motivation enough for a lot of us. And watching you soak in that tiny little window of happiness and achievement in the end is just everything. You inspire us brother. Please carry on. Subscribed and liked.
Just watching this video is enough to void an Apple warranty
Dr Jake's Very British Reviews Ha! Hilarious 😂.
Damn.. I'm on an iPad.
Who cares of useless warranties... Obviously don't do it to your brand new phone lol.
It's a joke!!!
Lol!!!
Today I watched someone else be productive and achieve something for the day, while i did nothing yet again
Ali Zaidi you was honest and that gives you a great start for the future.
Everyone has their day.
@J C can i work for you? I need a job :(
Remember, it's always good to be able to enjoy and get happy by success of others too. Shows you're not egoist :)
Kim Jakab Great comments Kim, we need to be more friendly!
3 years ago Xiaomi was not famous, now it has a large market share! AWESOME THIS THING!
XIAOMI is famous in 2012 in China
Growing companies in China is really easy. There is this spirit of doing something big. On the other Hand you can only get big by accepting every Single condition of the CCP which is really bad
@@Vambanbro Xiomi is not part of that BBK cooperation. Xiomi is its own thing and competitor to BBK corporation
Never heard of this bran Xiaomi before.
@@matthewge860 they are selling there laptop around the same price point as apple does 0.0
Since I have found your channel some time ago, it has been big blessing to say the least. The memory upgrade project is speechless in terms of cost saving. Thank you, Scotty.
Well in reality he bought like 25 iphone boards 😂
This guy's always happy and I look up to him and his vibe lol
5M views and more than a million subscribers this gentleman has every reason to be happy. Plus the vids are good!
This was really true when he went shopping with Linus. Linus was so frustrated and totally killed his positive vibe.
Why are u gae
TheCommon Kid who says im gae
@@JeremyWhite84 i would be frustrated if i were in a chinese market spread across 10 buildings as well lmao but yes this guy does look super stoned 24/7 without the red eye
I like that you cover all the disappointing parts too.
It sure impresses me more than those that cut the fails and seem like they did it easily. Now I know it's not easy what he's done, and that gives a better understanding of the achievement he made by learning to do what he did.
that makes it even more exciting to watch tbh
There is learning there too, making us want to root for him when he struggles
The first video I’ve seen of yours, but with 1.84m subscribers I don’t think you missed me. It’s brilliant to see someone who is willing to show the challenges of soldering. Everyone makes it look so easy and it isn’t. I certainly wouldn’t be brave enough to start soldering my iPhone. Very well done indeed.
(26:06 +) I could feel his pain when it didn’t work ,but his tenacitie prevailed in the end. Well done Scotty.
This video nicely sums up a programmers life
You've got 99 problems, try to solve one, You have got 115 problems
Edit : Wow 700 likes and a heart from Scotty himself!! this made my day!!
Vi Con *a windows users life
Kay Tee *a linux (gentoo) users life
Sounds like it's time to refactor :D
model your code before implementing ;) unit testing is also a great thing to do...
99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs, take one down patch it around 120 little bugs in the code.
The beauty is not only him creating a masterpiece. But, the joy and frustration that flows out as he creates it. Loved the entire video. Thank you.
I was so happy when i saw "800% memory upgrade" when in reality it was storage, not the ram I expected....
Yeah the RAM would be impossible because the amount is limited by the software. Unless you modify it which is also basically impossible to do on newer iPhones.
Can older iPhones be modded? I'm currently using a 5S which I love because of the case. it's a cheap imitation survivor case but it's amazing. I'm going to bite the bullet and maybe get a 12 Mini but when I do I was thinking of learning hardware nodding and stripping the 5S down and installing things like a bigger storage and better camera. Do you reckon it's possible at all? Like obviously i know nothing but if I did know something do you reckon it would be possible?
@@sammylpt9076 The storage could be upgraded but it's a finicky process as you saw in the video. A camera upgrade would be limited by the software and the processor. There could be image quality improvement but there are many other factors that limit that, mostly the hardware. Plus I doubt better cameras are made for the 5s anyway.
Modding the software could be done but like I said it's mostly the hardware that limits it which definitely cannot be upgraded. Also at your level of knowledge which as you mentioned is next to nothing it's very likely you would break your beloved 5s if you tried modding anything.
You've been rocking that 5s for a long time, in my opinion I think it's time to move on and get a new phone. From the 5s you will see a world of improvement if you get an iPhone 12, like loading times, response time, download speeds, image quality, and much more. You don't even have to get the latest iPhone 12, you could get a 11 or 10 or even a modern Android. Trust me, you won't regret it. :)
That much ram would be possible on a pc but who would even need that much phone ram anyway?
@@rearmisser or you buy an iphone 12 mini and transfer it's logic board, camera, battery, and everything In the 5s. Doesn't make sense but..
I really respect your perseverance. When a project is kicking you in the butt, you don't just give up, you take a break and you're back at it. You don't give up.
You're passion to learn and work towards the "impossible" and make it look so achievable. Very inspiring.

@@aamyushh damn beat me to it
I defs support this 👍
*Meanwhile at the Apple HQ*
_Guys he is back at it again!!_
Vi Con APPLE HQ: someone MUST STOP HIM!!
Apple HQ: He's cool though.
Vi Con Hahaha, yeah probably!
Vi Con this made my night lol
oh fucc
This was a serious journey and I 👏 am 👏 here 👏 for 👏 it great work, dude, loved this video from start to finish.
You deserve a “Most Patient and Persistant” award. Fun to watch, painful (for you) to have worked through.
Good job!
I am hardcore Android guy yet i watch every videos of you mate ! Always surprised about your projects Scotty.
Saurabh Sarang .
Totally agree!
Sme
Lol u said iwatch
He has a soldering station, a microscope, a battery tester, batteries, old logic boards, but not another windows personal computer.
He's an apple people for some reason.
um how much was the phone with 128gb? i mean I loved this video being i have done this for eeproms on hard drives so it was good but with that equipment most people would just spend the extra money.. exception would be if its not able to be bought. I dont mess with apples because oranges taste much better
@@kennethnicklowicz1030 well, the extra money he spent went into practice & tools. also, he made at least 1500% of the money he spent back from this video.
He can double boot too
my guy doesnt even know how to dual boot or run a vm, just goes and wastes money on a chinese craptop
thanks for sharing that you just needed something simple as your own lightning cable, a lot of people would have embarrassingly left that part out. but this is why i love your videos.
This guy has more motivation and is more determined then I could ever think I could be
These are the only 30 minute videos I'd watch.
How is excessorize me here? Bruh. Sick vids btw
I didn't even notice it was 30 minutes
Facts
This made me appreciate the micro sd slot on my phone a whole lot more.
i think the point he was trying to make is that he can upgrade his phone storage in a few seconds by just plugging in a sd card instead of spending days and a few hundred bucks
Mario you can fit like five 1080p BluRay movies (or two 4K BluRay movies) in 256gb, allowing for space for the firmware. Do you want just five movies on your phone? Space is not often enough which is why most phones include an sd card slot.
Lol yeah. So much pains just to increase storage in an iPhone. Nah. Buy android
If you complain that you can only fit 2-5 movies on 256gb, it's more you than the amount of storage you got lol. First of all, the average encoded 1080p blu ray rip is nowhere close to 40-45gb a movie, and second of all, maybe you should adjust your files to the device your using it with lol. Like it's of any use to put a 4k rip on a phone that can basically show no difference between 720p and 1080p
youfreaker you never download rips. Amateurs do that. You download source material. I have a Deadpool 1080p bluray thats 95gb so I don't know where the heck you got 45-50gb from. I have ender's game that's 112gb 4K bluray. So...
Also, you can see the difference between 720p and 1080p. Just because you can't doesn't meam no one can. You can see the sharpness difference. The only resolutions you can see next to no difference is 720p and 768p.
I was following along in my head and once you got to solder balls, I was like nope. Great to watch, my inner electronics geek is complete watching this channel and your builds.
The thing I really like are the hurdles and the pain, so true and real, man did I feel your Defcon about the Automatic Tressure Machine
From the evidence gathered in the video, there were 2 primary issues that increased the difficulty his experience, one of which he recognized and fixed it. The first was that he used a setting for the hot air blower that was on the wrong setting, particularly vertical air. This was suggested by how much the motherboard was moving. When the helical air setting is used, the intensity of the air produced is much less so and is much more conducive to removal of large items on the PCB such as the nand flash.
He is one of the most amazing people ive ever seen.
If there's one channel on TH-cam that needs to have a Patreon, it's this one. Set it up.
The Greatness of Being "DONE" after a series of serious pains and frustration is really satisfying :). Even as I watch you doing your thing their kinda excite me lol. You are a true iPhone wizard. Continue uploading great content :) many Thumbs up for you :).
Damn true!
Best feeling ever.
Yes!! He is such a determined guy :).
Diether Dayondon c
HAHAHA Hopefully you don't get an update that bricks it!!!! Don't replace your screen!! LOL
So, a couple of years back, i watched this exact video, and it blew my mind away. Now, after 2 years, i decided to buy my own soldering station and i started dealing with smd components. My couple first encounters were not very successful, but i remembered this video and i looked back into it, and i got motivated again. With the power of will i will have success, as well as you dear Scott, did. Good further luck!
Did you have any successful attempts?
@@GamerBoy705_yt hello, yes i have been practicing since, and already helped some people with dealing with their broken tech. If you are interested you should definetly try it, the secret is using a good quality flux and soldering paste/rod. Good luck
@@MenTallisT_96 That's awesome to hear
I have never been this happy for someone. I was almost praying that you pull this off and felt like I was doing this with you.
15:42 I tought you were going to say let's go to the market and get an X-Ray XD
Ya mee tooo😁😀
lol he'd buy almost anything
Scotty : i have to go back to Shenzhen markets to buy some missing parts, but i hurt my feet while walking. let's buy a car!

How to upgrade Android Smartphone to 128GB:
1: Insert SD card.
Done
Not all tho
Than the phone explodes
Specializes movies Joshua wdym
😂😂😂
Luis Bulek Apple sells a phone with 256 gb for some extra 300 dollars, sd card that has 200 gb is like less than 100 dollars
Biggest thieves ever
Loved this, real edge of your seat stuff. Very entertaining, well done Scottie!
This was a really cool video to watch, came from the "building the Android" video and sat in my seat just eyes glued to the screen, definitely worth a like and sub!
The problem is, the software is windows only.
How about a virtual machi.. LETS BUY A NEW COMPUTER
TheWGBbroz you don't want to bother with weird drivers and usb passthrough on virtual machines. Dual booting would have been better
He gets to write it off as an expense xP
Bootcamp
on the plus side, now he is not stuck with a shitty Mac !
rob b true
Never knew there's custom-made holder for soldering an iPhone 6S motherboard with an indentation to hold the flash chip... and a custom-made stencil to apply solder on the chips. Now I wanna move to Shenzhen.
There is same things for all flagman phones and you can order it online.
I've never been so invested in something I would never come near attempting. Kudos sir.
Man, I can feel your emotions. Very powerful and inspiring❤️
Scotty's like an iPhone surgeon
It's ok - they were vestigial. Sort of like the appendix or pinky fingers - you don't really need them it turns out.
How are pinkies unnecessary?
I love how you keep in the frustrating times of things not working or breaking too. Modding is full of that and lots of youtubers take out the frustrating parts so it looks like they did it first try and perfectly. These videos are very relatable and fun to watch.
So cool to rewatch this 🙂 When this video was uploaded, this stuff was dark voodoo magic. Now, 3 years later almost to the day, this stuff and much smaller rework, is my full time dayjob 🙂
I love how he says i give up *FOR NOW*
Love your videos. Being a hobbyist phone repair person myself, it's very cool to see someone run through the same anger, grief, and eventually elation that comes with fixing or modding your own stuff.
Awesome stuff :D
Now you should try to upgrade the RAM.
PeopleCanFly23 It's inside the SoC so it can't be replaced
PeopleCanFly23 you mean like he wrote in the title ?
lol yeah
MalaberLP no
gp3runescape what ?
Wow! Your hard work paid off 👏
Super nice videos of creating that custom iPhone!!!
China seems like a paradise for DIY people, are the things expensive?
It depends. Majority like to con westerner and some are fair to all.
sniperwork
Do you have experience of being conned by Chinese market? I would totally geek out to see so many parts for DIY stuff.
I’ve watch several videos, it’s giving the impression of...if you got an idea for a project, you probably can find all the parts you need just going to the market.
Brendan Nolastname
I’ve tried Amazon and eBay, sometime things come wasn’t up to my expectations. Would be awesome to see and touch it in person as you say.
you wont be conned if you know chinese so learn chinese
Or...people should just be honest in their business.
Great job man, this was fun to watch the progress.
:O You watch him too?
WOAH WADDUP BAKERXDICKHEAD

I just love that "I did it reaction" and its tech edition style....🤜🤛🤜🤛🤜🤛
So refreshing to watch someone who shows the frustration of doing something like this thank you😁😁😁😁😎😎
Dude, you are taking me on a trip I wish I could do, even if it comes with struggle. This is an adventure I am so happy to be part off even if it is through a youtube channel. thank you for the hard work, the extra effort and making these awesome journeys. Love the tips, the inside look of tech, to see what's all available is just so cool and i can't believe how far you can push just one phone..
I never comment on stuff, but I wanted to say that I came here because of Linus & I am really glad that I did. I'm now subbed & gave this video a like, its the first time I've felt like part of a story in a youtube video, relaxed while watching it and not on edge or being talked AT by the youtuber. You seem like a really nice genuine guy keep it up, really interesting insight to see :D P.S I may have uttered a "YES!!" when you made it work at the end haha :)
James Dartnell awesome comment 👍😊
Thank you for adding subtitles!
Great video man, really felt with you through all the steps and especially the relief when the phone booted 😀
Man! I love your enthusiasm. I was literally dancing and happy that the 128 worked!
The Chinese tech guys have tools for EVERYTHING

Super awesome hardship of trying. Lol Good Job bro. Such a nice vlog. Tnx!
Always love to see your hard work gave the sweet result
i learned from every single video that fail isn't the final destination if you keep trying
Oooh, always nice to see a new Strange Parts vid in my notification bar!
Have you thought about putting together a Discord room? It's a great way for the community to connect and interact!

Good idea! Go up so he can see this my friend

Why dont you set it up and then maybe even if he does not make one other will join?
I love to watch short videos but when i watch your videos never skipped a sec. Enjoy watching your Videos :D
Wow I really like your video and I keep whatching your videos any time to learn assembling and repairing mobile phones and that is my hobbies but I dont have tools what I needed
Now we need the battery upgrade 🔋
that is the simple one
Isnt that the easiest part?
You can't fix apple
Make the iPhone twice as think and double the battery capacity
Here Samsung have some spare batteries lying around.
that satisfying sound when he inserts the chip into that talking goldish thing
i’m-💀
i know right!
Great work man, love your videos and the eplannation to things as you're doing them!
I know this is super late but I was glad it worked! Nicely done boss! Tbh, It's one of the reasons I don't like iPhones (Too restrictive) but you've managed to go above and beyond. and shit, if you were selling, I would so buy. Keep it up, man. Seriously. Nicely done!!
I can barely imagine what kind of ridiculous painful hours this man goes through just to make a video for us. Hats off bra !
I feel like you can literally buy everything in China
You know everything is made in China, even black death spread from China.

I like you emotion dude ,very natural ,good job
Man you're the best. God bless and be safe
Its wholesome how happy he gets when he accomplishes it I love content like this
I know just how he feels at the end.. There is nothing more satisfying than completing a difficult task like this! My moment that was similar to his at the end came when I managed to re-create a super-rare board for the old desktop macintosh SE/30.. This particular board allowed the internal monitor to display 256 grayscale... It was a 2 board upgrade for the old mac , made by Micron. The particular Micron video card which allows this is rare enough on its own, but the 'daughter board', which is the one I had to re-create, is rarer still! I went through a bunch of reverse-engineering off of ancient Micron schematics, and talked with a bunch of people who were familiar with this particular upgrade, to get all the info I needed to re-create the daughterboard from scratch.. I then bought all the parts necessary from mouser and digi-key, and went to work.. When I was done, and it was all assembled, I crossed my fingers and powered it on... BINGO!!! IT WORKED!! You don't know how good that feels until you take on one of these difficult projects, and have it come to fruition! Its an awesome feeling! BRAVO SIR! CONGRATS ON YOUR 128Gb iPhone!! Subscribed!
I'm always amazed how the microchips for these old boards are still readily available. I've once stumbled upon 1998s era AMD old-new stock of chips.
TheColonel True, but I was even more amazed that there were still technical papers available, in .pdf form, on the old chips I needed to reference for my project! I reached an impasse at one point due to the lack of information on the wiring for the board that I was creating. There was a simplistic diagram in the actual patent for the board, but it was not very specific. So I had to research the pinouts for the main signal switching chip, and was pleasantly surprised at how easily I found the information on the web for this 1980’s era chip!
Great content. Enjoyable to watch you suffer over your addiction. Keep it coming.
I love his energy. Cool but alive😆
I had to subscribe.
I love the Windows 3.1 sounds this piece of software makes.
Why not Bootcamp instead of another device? Could have saved you a lot of money.
Was gonna suggest this as well
Yeah. Or even a VM might have worked.
I can only guess he didn't wanna give his mac cancer.
Hase Pretty sure you don't have to put only Windows 10 on it.
Xiaomi product placement.
I love watching your vids man!!! Very inspiring
Very Inspiring bro...👍 I really loved doing new thins too..Thanks to your video😊
Just imagine how much money he spends on each of these videos, props to you
Lesson learned. ..hard works does pay. Nice video dude....👍👍👍👍
I love watching the people's reaction around you as you walk down the street talking to your camera in a different language to them.
Congrats and thanks for making this video .
That genuine reaction at 26:40 just melts my heart
+1
Indeed, the feeling of accomplishment.
I like how you make every video an adventure. And It's more than 10 min
I never watch 'how to' videos completely. But this guy is an exception.
I'm interested on watching your Amazing works.i enjoy watching your video. Keep on brother doing.
