Everyone's been asking for months now - is it possible to add a USB-C jack to an iPhone? So I'm taking apart an iPhone 11 Pro Max to find out!

Love how he filmed himself buying the iPhone 11 Pro at the Apple Store in San Francisco like how he always films when buying phone parts in Shenzhen, China.
Hello bot
Wow bnyk like bang hahah
And how it's easier to get an iphone in China than in S.Francisco
Hey Scotty, why dont you replace the L shapped battery with a smaller one and put an aeroplane inside the phone?
Raul Herrera 😂 mad man
Not a bad idea I was thinking the same thing
because then you would have worse battery life
because iPhone 11 batteries have DRM
What the fuck is a aeroplane, is it the russian english for airplane? Idk lol
Everyone gangsta till he makes a new phone entirely

He already did
He did
Lol
@@milkynom he did his android build
Finally Apple just watched this guy's video on YT and learnt to add USB-C to their phones
😂😂😂
nah bro apple doesent listen to any one the eu told apple to change it learn your resherch
its a joke, lighten up :) @@Subbrotmmmss

Fun fact: shia labeauf was in an episode of cops...
“I’m gonna have to do this... ugh... I don’t wanna”
Totally get that. You’re doing some real daunting projects on your channel, Scotty. But you do a magnificent job making your efforts entertaining and understandable, maybe to such an extent that the tasks difficulty no longer get the recognition they deserve. If you have the motivation, we would LOVE to see such an ambitious modification, mate!
Also looking forward to see the secret project 🤩 Hats off for keeping it secret this long! We wanted to keep some huge cosmetic changes secret over on our channel until we release our next video, but buckled under and shared some videos on Twitter yesterday... It’s just so damn tempting to share those milestones!
Someone called Kenny Pi successfully made a usb-c flexcable mod a few days ago, but the full video is not up yet. I think you should check that out!
*this guy could trick me into buying a rock and i'd expect it to have bluetooth*
_also yes do the usb-c video_
Still no video:/
@@CyberPunkSimms it's painful to hear
Strange Part: USB C or Audio Jack?
Apple: No.
So he has to add both :D
or add headphone support to usb-c ;)
@@mordikal USB-C does support headphones, but the OS has to support it too... Which I suspect it doesn't.

@@StrangeParts LOL, mate you should go back after you put a headphone jack and the usb-c, saying something looks weird... Can I have my money back?
I love how he can just go buy an iPhone 11 Pro to take apart like it’s no big deal
I guess you didn’t watch the whole video, or you did and missed it... Sponsored.
Oh
I just didn't afford one phone :(
@@WorKoHolik84 Then How are you Watching
I can't even afford a moto e⁴ and he buys iphone 11 PRO MAXS to take apart
Who is here after that guy beat him to his goal of putting USB C in an iPhone?
yea like seriously, he just gave up and now he'll be left in the past, he's still doing cool stuff, but the headphone jack video and building an iPhone put him on the map, this would've been something that he'd be hugely known for too if he actually did it, it's not even that hard compared to the hp jack one, that's his fault ig, I still wouldn't call him a failure to his face or anything but he had 2 years to do it
@@ethand4784 exactly, 2 years was a long time to do that but ig he had other stuff going on. Its fine now though since someone else did what we thought would be impossible
Do the Type C AND Headphone Jack, prove to everyone that removing features is just a money grabbing technique and can be avoided!
He doesnt have to prove it. We all now.
I think he should do a fully customized iPhone 11 now, backlight and custom back and everything
Of course it is
Vaporeon Gaming actually leaving the lightning port on the new iphones is the exact opposite - it’s literally just keeping iphone users from having to buy adapters and new equipment- working at apple there are people coming in the store daily, complaining about the switch to lightning from their vintage/ obsolete 30 pin cables lmao
Imagine the backlash from the average joe ....
Yannick Gleichauf But Lightning is so much worse than USB-C
Add a lightning charger to an Android phone just for laughs?

@@paulhue86 or could trans phones handle internet?
Now 2 Years later some guy from switzerland did it.
It’s been a year and I’m still waiting for the end product
he never said he was doing it, he just tore apart an 11 Pro Max to see if its possible to add USB-C
@@RUclipsPremium-bm9th cant he replace the port instead of adding a new port?
Look for the youtuber "Kenny Pi" he did it.

Technically you'd be done quicker, since you've got all the contacts, more knowledge, you'd be able to do it in 2, maybe even 1 month.
Just trying to convince you btw.
Very good point(s)!
Once you have this knowledge, you will be even faster for other projects.
You are learning more and more about this phone and reverse engineering more that you actually think you are sir!
@H3ddo it's electronics... you never know. Literally, experience helps a lot and still you might fail or encounter something new. You never know. But that sliver of hope it's what it pulls us to our doom. It's the best :D DO IT!!
@H3ddo at least so far it seems he already have all the parts he needs, the only problem left is the cable routing tech he will use (how he will make the flex). Though as far as I've read, there's already several services where you can design your flex and it will be sent wherever you are without problem.
@H3ddo I don't think it will be easy. But as his face says... pretty doable with reasonable effort (enough to seriously consider it)
I’d like to see if USB-C is possible!
does it matter ? like apple would change it
Europe 🤭
*Emperor Palpatine voice*
“Do it”
medic 01001010 😂😂😂

Legit is what I was thinking
Apple use you video as a tutorial for iPhone 15
Once more unto the breach Scotty.
Everyone is right, you have contacts you didn't before. You have knowledge you didn't before. If the project starts to take a toll on you, take a break and shoot something else. All in all it shouldn't be near as difficult or take near as long, but this kind of stuff does take a fair bit of time and effort. In the end it is your choice, but I'm rooting for you and a USB C Iphone!
This dude just be casually adding features we all want on an iPhone on a small desk in a bedroom while Apple be taking years to finally add something
apple earns too much by selling these lightning chargers, thats why we still get them even in the new iphones
if its broken, you just have to buy another one, right?
Apple is overpriced
@Hi How Are You? I used to be a die-hard Android fan, but I've always hated Samsung phones (my Android phone(s) of choice were LG and HTC). To me, they always sold pure gimmicks as "innovations." I switched to iPhone because I found it much more compatible for me. I don't need the ability to modify file systems, change the look and layout of the entire OS, and so on. I need a phone that I can browse the web, check email, and take clear pictures. I work in construction (which almost every other construction worker I come across uses an iPhone), and I have to take VERY detailed photos. Samsung has always claimed to make a better camera because it has a higher megapixel count, but that's not what makes a great and detailed picture.
Also, every Android I've used has suffered terrible slow downs for no apparent reason (I barely install any apps, and I don't even have games or tons of media on my phone), and suffers from a lack of updates since it's up to the manufacturer to update their phone support to the latest version of Android. Not to mention all of the bloatware that comes from the manufacturers (Samsung is the biggest offender in this area).
But hey, if Samsung floats your boat, all the more power to you. It just isn't for me.
Using a freaking hair dryer.
You mean "removing things"
So, how is project going?
It's not. No China marketplace, no possibility.
*Apple rumors of removing all the ports*
Scotty: lemme add them back
*apple releases usb c on 2020 iphone*
No one:
Strange parts: can you add the old iPhone charging jack?
😆
They are not going to do that no ports most likely
Lol
@@seemagupta6885 that is far out
I doubt they would do that, not for a long time at any rate when they can keep selling their sleazy cables
The main question should be: "Do I really want to spend another 24 hours flying coach back to China?"
LOL
As much as I love to travel 16 hours a plane are hectic for me.

Type C on an iPhone
Apple :that's illegal
@Appu think it's a joke of course he know that
30-Pin has left the chat
Thunderbolt and 30pin is some of the worst charging connector that exisit in its time. Everyone that owns a apple device have some sort of issue with it. Type C have absolutely no issue and micro usb have rare issues.

That quote at 1:45 is some of the best advice I’ve ever heard when it comes to modding anything, electronic or otherwise.
Louis Weisz bunnie is the man. You should go read his book on hardware hacking if you haven’t already.
Strange Parts will do!
I agree with you however what I do if I am a teenager
Vini Dalvino Work on older electronics if you can’t afford the brand new stuff. Even going back a year or two will allow you to buy dirt cheap used stuff that’s still super cool to modify, and will teach you a ton so you’re ready to tackle the bigger newer stuff.
@@StrangeParts Thaks for the advice
Apple: the headphone jack wasn't possible
Strange Parts: Hold my iPhone
Apple: USB-C wasn't possible
Strange Parts: Here we go again

Where did Apple say USB-C wasn't possible?
@@xNiqueish exactly
@@xNiqueish you have a live example
go to any iphone and move the phone upside down and look really close to the port located in the middle of the buttom of the iphone , I THINK AT THIS POINT YOU WILL UNDERSTANK THAT APPLE IS SAYING ITS NOT POSSIBLE
maselito the gamer not really saying not possible, just they don’t want to do it
You know what man, you videos are absolutely amazing and in depth, but I understand that they take a long time and lots of money and effort to make. I would love to see a video of you doing this, but its a really daunting task so I would totally get it if you don't want to
After buying a new phone,
me: let's start to get fun with it!
him: let's 'open' it!
“I’m gonna have to do this... I don’t want to” 😂😂
Julio Calderon I read your comment as he was saying it idk if u care just thought it was kinda cool
"adding type c"
"Headphone jack"
"Removing notch"
"Adding Android"
The last two are impossible
What about buying a samsung instead?
That's a good one add android to an iPhone that would be a good test
@@VeryPiroPlayer It's not impossible, unlike iOS, Android is open source and can be adapated to any hardware and drivers can be written. However It's impossible the other way around if you want Android hardware to run iOS because there won't be any drivers for it in iOS since everything is close sourced by Apple.
@@VeryPiroPlayer Why would removing the notch be impossible?
Imaging watching RUclips and you see Strange Parts making a video in your bedroom.
You should do it! Your adventures are genuinely inspiring
That opening shot on the scooter was amazing
plus the music. god
I'd love to know how that shot was filmed
@@jackpola1242 A 360 panorama camera! Epic shot right?

Hi soon
@Strange Parts DO IT! PLEASE PLEASE DO IT! The Headphone jack video is the one that got me following your videos and I think that doing the USB-C Video will bring a lot of new followers
I like the way he goes straight to opening it without even powering in on for the first time
My opinion:
Do what you want. If you have some interesting proyects now, just do them, maybe save iPhone11 USB-C for Season 3 so you pace it.
Tim Apple: No headphone jack as we are out of space.
Strange part @ 6:09 : there's a lot of space here.
Still waiting for this project man!
Do it. Show apple it's possible in their own headquarters.
"Hey, Apple! I want to put USB-C on the 11."
Apple: "Be aware that you will lose your warranty."
How about.. Hi Apple! Do you have an USB-C cable for the 11? :P..
"I was aware of that my whole life"
"imma end this man's whole career"
Do the type-c!
Great Job!
Now add a lightning port to a USB-C iPhone.
Always love your work dude
In the Apple store they probably thought, "So he's the guy that put the headphone jack back on the iphone?......Make him wait."
Epic 😂🤣🤣
expectations: probably
Please do this! It would be so amazing, no matter how long it takes.
Some one has been able to do it.
Me: *sees the title*
Also me: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WORK!
"Nah man I don't think you should do it." - Nobody, ever.
For sure you should do it! its really interesting!
This was my idea which i wanted to try form soo long n then found ur video big thumbs up i wish to work with u
If I tried this, I would be left with an expensive pile of iPhone parts.
Cheap parts you mean
I would be left with scrap material.
Please take an iPod Classic and upgrade it to 2019 standards (SSD, USB-C, Bluetooth, etc).
Jorge Jimenez an ssd would be bigger than it ahah
@@tomhollier6173 A m.2 could fit maybe
@@tomhollier6173 micro SD will do ;)
You don't understand the complexity of what you're asking for lol
Actually I have an modified IPC with 16g ssd and lager battery can listen music more than one month.
Well yea, of course, I want to see it. It not just about actually adding it, because I think it's pretty obviously possible. To me it's about seeing the journey it takes to do something that not only Apple never intended but also something that everyone is thinking. I love the persistence it takes to do everything you do. Also as someone studying EE I love the techy parts too :)
OMG! very specialist limited edition heat gun! and that nozzle id designed specially for phones!
Scooty:
Apple:- wait that's illegal
Seems to be a matter of when and just break the video into parts and take breaks in between so you dont get so mentally exhausted and bored with the project. Take your time.
He seemed to be excited about this
You can do it.... love the videos....
It's worth noting that switching the port to a usb-c likely won't be as intensive as adding a headphone jack since everything's already there just a matter of wiring it up. You already did a brilliant job with adding a headphone jack; I'd like to see what you can do with the port! That's even something my inexperienced young skillset might be able to tackle after watching you! :)
Buy an iPad that uses USB-C and try to use that component on the iPhone
This is genius thinking 🔥
Maybe not that much of money to throw away...!?
Break down the ipad is not a good idea but you are damn creative to think about that way XD
@@VuaTommy hahaha but he's trying something no one ever had! Either breaking down an iPad or sourcing part of that port from Shenzhen 🤔
can you install androis OS or other operating system on iphone?... and does it possible to turn the iphone or any other smartphone into somthing else?.. lets say a signal disruptor or sonar device like in the batman movie... i also wonder what is the limitation of things you could do with the logic board?.. can you buy an iphone logic board and built something else out of it?
He’s definitely going to add USB C..... the look in his eyes tell it all lol
I saw this when it came out and I think I also commented then but I will do it again: please do some fun changes for Android phone, like putting snapdragon 855 on an older phone, and make it work like butter smooth. Thanks for your dedication. Be well! And have an even more productive year
Hey, how did you get the convesion logic pieces of your lightning cable ?
Do it! After the conversion is done, take it in for something simple like a screen replacement and see what they say.
Apple: We took out the headphone jack and didn’t add type-c.
Scotty: Hold my bear.
Hold my beard🤣🤣
Hold my large, dangerous, forest Predator.
Haha hold my moose
Apple: you mean hold my beer?
Scotty:HOLD MY BEAR
Apple: OH MY GOD IS THAT A BEA-
Scotty: A bear? Yes it is my pet bear
재밌고 좋은 영상 감사합니다!
I would love to see you do it... it'll be a major upgrade over the lightning jack.
Hey Scotty, could you do a Reddit IAMA? I would love to know how you ended up going to China.
I did one a long time ago here: www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/6yomtr/hi_im_scotty_from_strange_parts_i_make_videos/ But maybe it's time to do another one?
@@StrangeParts yes!
@@StrangeParts just put a link for a reddit in each of the videos in youtube so people can get access and know where to search for you in reddit section
Scotty, while I would love to see you convert it to USB-C, I think you've already made up your mind not to do it. While it would be cool, is it worth the months of labour? I think you'd be more happy doing something else, and I think you should do what gives you more enjoyment. Don't get burnt out over a project that you really aren't into.
Either way, I'll be here - watching. Thanks for the content :)
Bojan That sounded unintentionally ominous.
Yup, I'm in this boat too
We wish you continue this project
Yeah you should do this!
It’s just like strange parts teaching Apple to do right things😄
They exactly know how to. But guess what they don't want to.
You're so right

First they add the USB-C jack, then Zack goes and scratches the display and then bends the phone in half ;)

USB C Scotty, Lightning cable in 2019 ? That's criminal 😔
@Connor Lim The galaxy s10 is 7.8mm thick while the iPhone 11 pro is 8.10mm thick.
It fits.
Love it thank you man .
4 years later: iPhone 15 gets USB-C
think you can squeeze the iphone 11 parts into a 5 and make the forbidden iphone SE 2?
EDIT: SE 2020 is still too big, change my mind
The main problem is the screen, 4 inches screen doesn't work
MMPablo and the home button
thats not possible
The battery is bigger than The phone
Faisal Alhilal let it be a smaller battery..:.i just want to see the phone :)
It's possible since we can find enough space in the bottom of the phone (relatively speaking) so we certainly want to see you do, or at least try it.
One thing I've been consider is that Type-C port is clearly larger than the lightning port so I wonder if there're enough vertical spaces for a larger port. And cutting a bigger hole or maybe sanding the screen and bottom plate is a necessary evil. Either way, it will takes up a huge mount of time and trail and error. Probably the worst part is this phone is too new to have parts in Shenzhen for you to find and replace if you accidentally break them.
Anyway, wish you all the best.
2 iPhone generations and almost 2 years later and I’m still waiting on you to make a USB-C iphone
Apple: We're removing the headphones jack because it takes up too much space
