Certainly not transferring everything made the repair faster but it still remains a long and difficult job, given the quantity of parts and screws and you, as always, did a great job.
Definitely the best way to go for repairing the back glass. Doing the rear glass is quick but just knowing it’s not factory throws me off. Seeing as the glass isn’t below the camera rings.
You were one of my inspirations to start repairing! I did a full housing swap on an xs i got in a log the other day, and it went really well. Thank you!
Hey would you be able to tell me where you got the housing from? I’ve got to do the exact same thing but don’t know where to get a good one for a fair price.
@@choonky Thanks for responding 11 months later. Lol I’ve always been skeptical about that website, but would you recommend it since I live in Canada? Where do you live?
We've seen some pretty crazy damage to some iPhones at our shop. I think the worst was an iPhone 12 Pro Max that hit a large rock as the owner rode through the woods on an ATV and lost their grip. The impact was so hard that it snapped the frame near the antenna lines along with destroying the display and back glass. Luckily, the board and internals were fine, so after a quick frame swap, new screen and battery, they had a working phone again.
@@jusalii Yea, but that goes away after a while. We warn all our customers about those types of messages before we work on their devices so they aren't thrown off when they see it the first time.
You can change the back glass without the laser machine. It can be done with a hairdryer/heat gun tweezers, a craft knife and a lot of patience. I’ve done it myself on an XS Max. The replacement rear glass has a slightly oversized hole for the cameras so the camera enclosure can stay in place. It’s cheap to do and the results look good but not for the impatient or faint hearted. I’ve also seen dry ice used to make the adhesive brittle to make the glass shards come away easier. I think Filip from EAP did it on his channel about 3 years ago.
A few days ago, I did a teardown of an old laptop which had Windows Vista. There wasn't a HDD, but it had lots of ports, expandable memory, disk and processor. It's a bummer that Apple and many other companies doesn't do this anymore. They have now socketed memory, processor and HDD/SSD and parts pairing
The fact that the owner wanted to throw that away makes me sad... It was a fully functional even before it got restored to its former glory! He could have slapped a case on it and call it a day!
Exactly, it’s also an iPhone 11 which is an outstanding phone even in 2022, if I was the owner I would have either put a case that doesn’t show the back or throw a d brand skin on it so I couldn’t see the crack at all!
@@mjc0961 Hypothetically strong tape and a case could've helped it if ALL that was wrong was the cracked glass back (why is Apple so stupid? Glass sucks, quit using it ffs), but the battery was literally stabbed and swelling. It could have exploded and caused a tremendous fire mid-video and it wouldn't have been shocking, it would've actually been *expected*. Honestly I'm disappointed that Hugh completely glossed over how stupid this was to work on with absolutely no precautions taken, but I've come to expect it because although he does good repairs, he doesn't seem to realize how dangerous bad batteries are. Dude literally handles spicy pillows barehanded and like nothing, and treats ran over/stabbed phones like they're okay to touch while the battery IS STILL IN IT.
Great repair! Glad to hear that the viewer sent it to you so you culd repair it - and I completely understand why you wouldn't want to be a repair shop (and accept everything) due to the sheer hassle and time consumed with repairing these devices. IMO, iPhones are purposely made too difficult to repair. Why oh why do you need 4 different screwdrivers to do a complete teardown? And why is the back glass glued down with such force that you have to replace the entire housing, or use lasers?
Finally a technician who knows what hes talking about who also takes pride in his work and does everything the proper way. your doing absolutely amazing! keep it up!!
I had to buy special tools to remove the screws on my laptop heatsink because MSI intentionally stripped the screws HORRIBLY to deter me, the consumer and owner of it, from removing it and cleaning it (since if it was cleaner it'd run better and I'd be less inclined to buy a NEW computer years later). Do I own it? The fan connectors were made so frail you'll lose one of the two power wires taking it out. They actually made it with two power wires FOR THIS VERY REASON. Do I own it?
The reason why dual-SIM iPhones are only available in China seems to be that the Chinese government requires the manufacturers to offer only physical dual SIMs. The government there doesn't allow eSIMs.
Call me crazy but I don't understand why I'd even want two SIMs in the first place. What benefit do I get from having a second number? Now I get more incoming spam calls and texts? Now I have to juggle which number I'm calling or texting from? What are the pros to counter all of these cons?
Travel to avoid roaming charges, especially for people who have to travel to a different country for work a lot. Getting properly paid for work-related phone calls since it’s easier as you don’t have to track minutes and numbers. Having a private number so u can silence only one sim on the weekend or whatever and enjoy yourself. Not needing two devices for work if that’s how u like your life. Some people don’t mind carrying two phones around, some do. Since they’re not carrier locked you could even get more coverage using two different carriers. The US carriers hate them bc they want u locked into their service and they really only have three. Outside the US traveling outside your country, and thusly, roaming is muuuuch more common so dual sim can be a necessary part of having a phone. It depends on who your are and how you use your device. For a large part of the world dual-sim is needed or greatly desired. For people in the US who need work phones or travel lines it’s the same scenario. No down-sides outweigh those benefits.
Hi Hugh! Great video as always! Tho i hope that you have transferred the code of the old battery into the new one so that it won’t have the “important battery message”. Hope your store ships to Philippines soon! 🙏🏻
For the battery display message you need to remove the old battery cable and next time try and put some Magsafe magnets on your next build with glass back cool videos
Hugh Jeffery next time why not peel the tape over and desolder the old connector and use kapton tap for high temperature on the new battery after soldering the connector back into place on the new battery. Then battery health would still show up.
Hi Hugh are there any other guides besides ifix for houseing replacements they used to show how to remove everything but on there 11 and 12 pro guides they don't show how to remove a lot of the stuff like antenna near camera other guides seem the same.
The condition of this phone looking like it was hit by a meteor is both hilarious and also somehow more believable knowing it somehow was related to a sodastream. I think those machines are just forces of chaos. One time my dad tried to recarbonate coke with one and it blew up so hard it was dripping from the *ceiling*
1. I’d like to see IP68 testing on a refurbished device & some explanation as to why there can be issues. 2. I’d love to have an iPhone with a dual nano sim tray. I missed out buying the last one, was a good deal
Hugh finally found the housings with the screen clips and button clips installed... man finally found heaven although i would not trust the wifi flex and especially the flash flex which'll likely cause the phone to bootloop
When will you be transforming the 1970s computer? I think you should transform the bottom part into a modern computer but still have the CRT as the display. It's a nice touch plus it'd be cool to see something like Windows 10 on a CRT. Just reminding you.
It's not as dumb as one of my classmates, she managed to "accidentally" crack her MacBook Pro TouchBar with a hammer, that's right A HAMMER. How do you even manage to do that?
What I like about the 11 was it had the same chipset AND ram as the Pro. With that lower res screen, hypothetically, it would provide better performance than the Pro.
Its weird seeing new iphones not have dual sim when my old nokia lumia had dual sim support I know nokia lumias are terrible but i think their actually really nice devices
Hey Hugh I have a iPhone 11 that I am going to repair. It's just a typical screen replacement. I'll get straight to the punch line. Is it worth buying a programming tool just to keep the true tone functionality? I have ordered a replacement straight from IFIXIT. But I am wondering if I need to also order a programing tool in order to copy and transfer data for this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
I'm not sure if you'd be able to fix it, but my sister got her iphone 11 pro destroyed last year, screen ripped off the body and the body is destroyed. Plugging it into a computer did nothing, but I thought there would be a chance to at least get data off of it.

You mean, before it exploded? The battery was penetrated. It was a time bomb. Dude didn't want to die.
Except for that battery... That phone NEEDED repair or disposal. Slapping a case on it and calling it a day would be absolutely the wrong move.

Reprogramming doesn't work on the newer models. You actually have to take the IC from the old battery and transfer it to the new one.

Hugh class videos as always. A cool thing to do is a video on how you keep track of the screws and how you do it?
Isn’t there a way to copy the old battery info into the new battery just like you can with a screen?
You can transfer the controller board at the base of the battery but it’s risky.
Great I installed battery my s6 edge plus with your help Hugh thanks a lot
Good morning Hugh thank you so much for your great video clips 😄
