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.

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
LOL
Wtf XD
Maybe it's exactly what happened.
Then he realized that if he shows it in reverse, than it looks like as if he built one.
thats an idea
no shit
"remove bubble machine" - that sign made me laugh so hard :D
LMAO
It is a direct translate from Chinese.
i think it should be called "Bubble remover".
8:04 love the fact that the machine literally says „remove bubble machine“
Man, I LOVE such straightforward naming. Far better than abstruse jargons that deliberately obfuscates.
@@cosmoobserver3416 you became the very thing you swore to destroy!
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
so in theory you cant easily buy a cheap ipad
@@maxaffe3195 I think it's more likely that the iPad's just found itself to not be part of Apple's format list of support for the next iPadOS updates. Maybe there wasn't any real compromise that had to do with having been purchased in Huaqianbei, or idk maybe there was. Maybe the lack of support for the newer OSs was the compromise, but I feel like that's not the case and it's just Apple being stingy.

Can u change like gpu and cpu?
@@damiangherbali6958 Apple products are unfortunately a bit too locked down to do that.

u so funny
you nailed it bro.
I love it how in China you have a lot of small individual shops instead of one giant store, and you can litterally buy anything if you search long enough.
All these people self employed but in a way working together to recycle goods.
communistic agenda to destroy the American free market.... Walmart, Amazon, etc...
Same here in Paraguay.
@@user-zd7bk6xx5nfor as bad as it can get when it comes to ccp controlled corporations, I think a bunch of small markets would technically constitute more of a free market than having large supermarkets that sell everything

IPHONE 12 NOPE THERE NOW MAKING IT HARD TO FIX AND REPAIR
Yes it's true iPhones aren't that hard to repair but with the iPhone 12 they completely destroyed 3rd party repair shops
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! 🙏📱👌🏼
How you learned to do that, or you already had experience’s?
I probably saw some of my Ebay sellers

I've seen a few of your past videos but this is the one that made me subscribe. Amazing content.
Salute to this guy, he just entertained us with this vlog that has so much plot than the variety shows I have watched
RUclips refreshed all watched videos sometime recently. I keep getting recommended videos I’ve watched years ago. Loved this one when it originally came out! I need to catch back up!
I love the fact that this is his first video on his channel and it's already on trending.
He deserves it though. :)
2.7 million views and 48k subscribers wtf
Did you pre-order the new iPhone 8? "Nah dawg I flew to China and made my own"

Right bro 😂
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
xD Sad but true

@@MetroVerse ouu sick burn.

The China
you really have to admire the Chinese work ethic in light of the way the modern world has progressed around us all. Everything I see around Shenzen as it is represented in western media (an I'm counting this video in that) shows it to be an ingenious, hard working, well grounded set of people. The guys doing the screen work ~ 9:00 adorn their shop with hard drawn pictures of - i assume - their families, and hand drawn logos of the devices they support, whilst they work with some crazy ingenious tools to fix the problems of the trade. The next scene shows an old man making noodles (i think) and other street vendors. This is a mix of technology, personal stories, and tradition that I just don't see in the West. Love it.
that old man was making candy actually, he pulled it so that air enters and after the candy is cut into pieces, they become crunchy :)
And at the end he pays 480¥ or 4$ here. Thats crazy.
thanks for correcting.. totally wasn't sure, but it must have been tasty judging by the way the kid was looking on! :)
+Rey Co. Beats You're pertaining to the Japanese Yen. 480CNY costs about 70USD.
Sheppo so true man
I'm impressed how well you navigated your way through that
And that's the shop I want to build. Complete set of machines and talented people
it's the remove-bubble machine 3000
Bastien Bolafeld removebubblemachin-inator
Also called a pressure chamber. :p
its an autoclave
you must be psycic! I was just abou tto play Thimbleweed Park when i read your comment
you killed me with that one hahahahahah
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.
he can technically sell it for 400
Haha Wa I would not sell it
Haha Wa you could literally do this as a business
dude you if you have the money you can start a small business the fact is that Apple if they find out that someone is building iPhones with like parts from China you are going down fast son !!
I live in Greece and here you can easily fucking have like 5 expert's that know how to fucking build it with the parts and bring parts from China build it here and even if you sell it for 599 or 500 everyone and I mean everyone here is going to buy rich or poor homeless everyone will find a way to buy one
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 think I’ve seen this video at least 3 times and it never bores
How is a 15 second burger King ad #1 on trending and not this?
Dru Iglesia because this guy is making an iPhone it would be a lot more interesting if someone made an Android device
Dru Iglesia lol wherever your from u got some weird trending page
Dru Iglesia Because as a repairman this is so frustratingly cringey to watch lol.
Some Guy refresh your page
Because the trending page is paid for to get to the top based on your region it maybe different based how what companies paid for that region to advertise too
lol, reverse unboxing.
Does that make it a "boxing"?
my mind has been fucked
im so fukin confused wtf man😂😂😂
magic toaster hhh 😂
No it makes it an "Inboxing"
how amazing you manipulates all those electronic parts , They are so electromagnetic fragile and you put all together without and bug !!!! Bravo !
Interesting video dude. I’m stumbling upon it waaaay after the post date tho... Things have changed so much since then.
china got the most randomest items and got a full store dedicated to it. thats dope
Poudii love your channel poudii
didnt think you would watch shit like this poudii
SOLAH PING
I loved the part when he needed the mini things that made the click sound/feel for the volume buttons "Oh, you need this!" Hahaha
Poudii after i seen this i want to live there
It's a bubble remover
"Remove bubble machine"
lmao
IKR i was laughing as well
I laughed so hard hahha
It's actually just a Vacuum Chamber... the inherent effect of removing pressure is decrease in temperature, simple Combined Gas Law gives you that conclusion, it's just simpler to say "Bubble Remover" in layman's term.
We know what it does, it's just funny
Maciej G. That makes it even funnier cause it means they put the sticker on there themselves XD
The dedication, sweat and dream is powerful combination!
decided to follow the algoritm back here. its been so long that you can call this video a classic now.
I caught the most recent stream where you teased some new videos, i'm looking forward to them.
Another thing: the loss of community captions still makes me sad because i can hear what some people are saying but the captions will always now just say [INAUDIBLE]

China is now really an amazing place, where anything can be made, anything can happen, anything can be quite easy....
J. Lee it's easy if you know where to get.
J. Lee No is much expensive that ten years before
I heard about being able to get custom built android tablets in china. So you can pick and choose all the specs you want. All that at a way cheaper price than you could get at a UK, or US market price of a branded tablet.
Yap, only if you live in big cities(with money). There are lots of poor outside the cities.
Next time make a 3 d printer and print an army of cellphone robots!!!
Thanks for your time, I've skipped this video for such a long time but I don't know what made me to watch it today (sounded impossible ) but its an impressive one
An exciting video, a big thank you to you, Cyril from France.
impressive. I can barely make my bed and you go and make your own iphone

People in China are real af. They know how to grind and hustle.
Trap Music NOW. there's many people around the world who know how to grind n hustle
Trap Music NOW. U are stuiped ,fool man ,know nothing about this world
Everyone in America used to know how to grind and hustle. But then big business told politicians to eliminate competition from individuals. So politicians made laws that require people to have a sellers license that has so many rules and requirements
yup regulations have killed american ingenuity. wish these libs understood, maybe after seeing this they may be enlightened.
From my travels every free market in the world people know how to grind and hustle better than us, I think its the ultimate plan of either the government or the corporations to dumb us down.
While most, if not all, parts seem to be from disassembled iPhones, it's still quite interesting - especially from the recycle/reuse aspect.
These are the best videos ever I loooove watching these on my breaks
I guess you could say the phone was "made in china"
Stiv Critter American version iPhone made in China,is it surprised？
Stiv Critter All iPhones are made in China...
Stiv Critter I was literally going to say that and I was thinking about thatXD
handyyMandy __ no the materials are not made in China. It is assembled in china
iphone parts are mostly ODMs, and the ODM companies mostly from china, and other asian companies, they even use samsung parts.. so yes iphone are made in china
The main question is how much did it cost in total to make??!
It says about half of what it would cost new in the US.
mothballjim actually if you search on TaoBao, which is like EBay in China. A fake iPhone would be much cheaper than what he got, and same quality, better get two coz if one broken, it's worthless for you to repair it
300$ according to the Verge.
He spent $1000, but didn't use all the parts he bought. Source: news beat
$300 according to him on his twitter account. but he spent over $1000 including the parts he bought he didnt need.
Fascinating video! I really enjoyed watching it even though I'm not a phone lover.
If I couldn’t do this in a day or two I’d lose interest. I Applaud you for being able to keep interest and finishing your project.
You could make an iPhone 7 with a headphone jack
محمد القحطاني lol
While you could drill a hole in the casing for a 3.5mm headphone jack it would not work with the motherboard as the iPhone 7 was not designed to have one. The software would not be able to understand as IOS 10 on the iphone 7 does not support a headphone jack.
With a some work you might be able to make an iPhone 6s in an iPhone 7 body but iPhone 7 hardware and software does not support 3.5mm
Genius 😂😂😂
what why dont i understand
Not unless you want to drill a hole in a 7 case
7:57 lol it literally says "remove bubble machine" lol XD
lol, I saw that as well, made me laugh
How To Make Sushi love your vids
I don't get what's funny. Not trying to be a smarass or anything. Just wondering
Sounds funny because it is chinese style english. If there is such a thing that's made to remove bubble, it would probably named "debubblizer". Having said all that, one should know that bubble remove machine is just a negative pressure machine that draws air out to create vacuum.
I don't think is funny. Speak other language is not that easy be respectful
Wow I didn't expect I would enjoy this video this much ❤
The mobile phone is nothing at all, just a little hardware and an Android system. It's almost like building a computer.
I remember watching this when it first came out. Great video
"REMOVE BUBBLE MACHINE"
I was there thinking I wonder what this machine is. Is it some kind of vacuum chamber or maybe some kind of oven. Then he closes the door and I feel like an idiot. Of course its a Remove Bubble Machine, what else would it be
I want that machine
its amazing isnt it..
IT IS CALLED 除泡机 除 means get rid of, 泡 means bubble, 机 means machine OK
What if you put bobba tea in it? Would the bobba just disappear from the tea?
take the phone to an Apple store and see what happens

It's just like a normal iPhone though...
I know but see if they will service it
maybe u can exchange a new iPhone
Jeffrey Kim each hardware has an unique id,so apple know that it's an unusual iphone

"It removes bubbles, it's a bubble remover."

"REMOVE BUBBLE MACHINE"
Well then.
I literally read this comment just as they were saying that.
USApatriot30 same. and i randomly skipped forward to this part too
It's called an autoclave
i know I was laughing so hard at that
Autoclave? You sure about that? Pretty sure an autoclave would melt that into a bubbling pile of goo... Sure it's not a vacuum chamber with a UV light?
Markets like that are super dope these men and women do this in such tight spaces in such crowded areas and do a amazing job I just can’t imagine how people can do that as a job
Good job bro!! I’m happy for you🙂
just imagine being an electronic engineer, living in that city. No time for sleep!

HALE IRWIN I couldn't. I'd die of exhaustion from overwork. I'd lose my mind with the things I would conjur up.
Yeah I've a true dream ,,,
What I gathered from this video is how brilliant the Chinese people are. They take any opportunity to make a living off of it. It's truly awe inspiring. Not only that, but they take pride in what they do and their name as a wholesaler. I'm sure they're are some people in China that would take advantage, but I didn't see that in this video.
Really cool video!
To be honest, this is how China should make their fake iPhones, and not just android phones with an iPhone shell and an iOS skin.

I'll watch this video if it promises to stop showing in my recommended
There should be a little menu at the top right of any sidebar reccomendation when you mouse over it - you can use that to select "not interested" and it should remove the video permanently. The same menu should be available (confusingly) at the *bottom* right of any home screen videos in the RUclips app on mobile. Not hating, just trying to inform 😊
it never works I get the same shit over and over no matter how many times I list not interested and not interested in a channel .... still shows up in side bars and recommendations lol.

One question, how much did it cost?
Blind from what I'm seeing, max 100dollars. could be lower if he negotiated..
The screen and all that stuff by itself cost him 70 dollars. I'm sure the entire thing cost him more than 100.
Blind $300
Derek what he made now , will it have ogival support of the apple ?
Ricky L Bennett Jr it's funny how stupid you are since China doesn't use dollars. 480 Chinese money is much lower then you think
This is THE video that got me interested in tech and programming.
Sir, I admire your patience.❤️
Holy shit Shenzhen looks like a fun place
It's a total blast:)
Probably not for a lot of the people living there...
Use Google Maps and drag yourself around the streets. I've lost countless hours doing this. I would be the epitome of the word "tourist" if I ever found myself in China.
Asia is a blast
Those marketplaces look really underground-y, yet seem to be filled with talented people!
wtf? 24 minutes and i never found out how much the project costs.
Keri Sandford exactly

agree
Damn...you've definitely gotten one more subscriber on your channel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
By the way, can you tell how much it costed you to make a new iPhone 6s from scratch? Only the buying parts of course, because the job itself and the time cost are uncountable :))
The effort the time. You earn my sub. Your amazing. From Philippine.
found this video to be thoroughly entertaining as well as educational. Saw it's your first vid, keep going, you're brilliant.
Gotta give credit to all the people who helped him make it. They're brilliant.
This just might be the coolest video I've seen on RUclips it a long time
that's amazing content man! mindblowing
Good job you really did a lot of hardwork
what is the final cost ?
thumbs up that he can see it
I have the same question
How much you spend on:
Used Parts (to build the phone)
Not used Parts (the ones you bought that you didn't used)
Services (like the screen assembly)
Great Content, i fix it should sponsor you xD!
Realy interestead also about the final cost!
But why build one if it is going to cost more or time building it if it is cheaper to just buy a used one
that was actually around $70 USD
yeah you changed it from japanese yen not chinese yen
I don't know why i'm so amused now to go to china to make iphone 7 plus...
parts for older generation are easier to find, so iphone 6s will be much easier to build
I Hope there's a seller who'd make an iphone from refurbished components and sell it for cheap... Hahahahha, I'd like to buy it
Rifal Dipta There is, but since its illegal its kinda harder to find. But selling parts is not illegal at all, thats why lots of people sell it that way so others could re-assemble them.
where u going to get the logic board for 7S ?
TheAmoscokkie 7 Plus? It's already out you could get one
The guy is very good with his work so professional💪
Truly Amazing video loved it !
This is a wonderful video, not only does it confirm the ability to assemble your own iPhone, though it’s long process but the ramifications of outsourcing. It’s a fact the China produces most the worlds stuff, especially tech, but I’d always expect it to be within a factory but to see an entire market within the city that sells parts says a lot about the world economy. That one clip with all the ladies assembling screens on the sidewalk left me speechless. It’s just crazy to see how much of an effect manufacturing has on China.
3:30 You probably didn't feel that, but the guy was expecting you to order 10x 100x 1000x, but you said just one. LOL
Peter Gao ikr
Yeah
I've been dealing in parts for a while with the Chinese...
1000x = You annoy me.
10,000x = Just starting out?
100,000x = Lets do business!
1,000,000x = You need to go to the factory.
Are they honorable in business... Not on Alibaba/Aliexpress, but they are when your there in person.
Buy a single will be expensive in this market.
Yeah, i can gear the expectation and surprises when he said just one, hahaha
You are very skilled at this job
I want to say thank you because this video remembers me of something I think I've lost long ago - the ethusiasm.
Probably now they should start selling DIY iPhone kits for teens 😂😉
Bhrigu Bharadwaj Pant i agree with u
I would build a 250GB 8 Cored iPhone 9A ( I think it's impossible. )

*".....Um iPhone 6S?"*
Seller:"SEX??"
*"6S!!!"*
lol, seller say: 4s. In Chinese, it sound "si (4) ai si (S)"
6S sounds like success!
that girl in the vid was speaking mandarin.but the mandarin 4s also sound like 6s in English
What time frame
Andy Takeasy is mandarin not Cantonese
I was very proud of you. That is intimidating. I have to do it.
