With your level of patience, precision and attention to detail the world was deprived of one of the most talented surgeons we could have ever had. It’s still not too late to apply to medical school.
Thought perhaps I would perform this on my xs max. But fml this is tedious.
repairing phones is not analogous to surgery at all
@@bitcoochie4093 i bet you're fun at parties
@@WildYoungC that was real clever bud how’d ya come up with that one?
Saving iPhones is more important then saving lives hahahhahah
Definitely very weird adjusting the flash and microphone. A cool mod but not really practical.
Yeah I agree
Oh hey dude! Love your videos keep it up ;D!
Hi man I watch your videos, would you recommend me doing this to my iPhone XS?
@@shrekislove422 not really. Its more of a try at your own risk. Its a cheaper build than original housings. More of something to display, less practical with day to day use
@@PhoneRepairGuru ok thanks, also keep up the good work 👍👍
Apple: “Yo dawg, I heard you like flex cables. So I put more flex cables underneath flex cables. That way you have to remove more flex cables when you take off one flex cable.”
fucking flex cables
weird "flex" but ok
@@intertiexd weird flex about flex cables but ok

I did this in January to my iPhone X. Within the first month, I got a hairline crack on the camera due to stresses when it was made. I also completely shattered the back as the phone was in my pocket and I hit the corner of a table. The glass is soooo weak that you can break it with your finger nail. So anyone planning on doing this, don’t. The quality all round is low. Also I am replacing the glass with wood, as it is more custom. I might post a video of it in the future. Have a good day
This comment should be higher.
The sad truth about such mods
@@bravesonly sadly- I thought that since China has been making fake housings for ages, this one might be good. Yeah…. I was wrong.
I found what looks like a nice protection case for my phone, but they only showed renders, so here's hoping it looks somewhat decent in real life. And yes I've gone off trying to change the phone's housing as it seems like too much work for reducing build quality and function
@@RennieAsh good choice
@@nitroneal4998 The "pet peeves" kept building up as he put that housing together lol the buttons needed fixing, the cable doesn't fit, no hole for mic - crappier audio, then the screen just looks tacked on like a $20 LCD replacement I'll just do it with an external case instead XD

Omg kim hi
Hi kim
Ye
lol guys why would real kim write out his name in english when he use korean as his first language
@Quantum i actually laughed 🙂
Probably the third time I’ve watched this video and amazed every time at your ability to take these puzzles apart and get them back together without parts left over.
Excellent work.
This is something I always think about glad you made it real!
Literally same, and I’m so glad he did this! I think transforming a phone into another is so cool!!!
I’ve always thought about this and i didn’t know if it actually could work-
The fact he took care of the flash light and it’s not sticking out in the middle makes me feel so good 😭😭I would still use it
This man is the definition of quality over quantity. Keep it up.
205 likes and no comments, let me change that.
Also he’s more of the definition of quality and quantity.

Please give your review about the third-party CRAZY battery that you always use.
This is the only man I trust any of my tech with.
My favorite part every video of yours is the last part, 'And, WE ARE DONE! '. So satisfying!
Btw, great video Hugh.
And this is it
Satisfying
At least for a knockoff, it still has actual Apple parts. Impressive. 😎
What are you talking about, the XS is a real iPhone and the new 12 PM is just a housing for the phone.
@@xoo6920 exactly, nothing knockoff about this project lol
i guess it's more of a mod than a knockoff
@@xoo6920 Sorry folks. I'll be more sensitive about the terminology I use.
The word you are looking for is third party. The replacement parts are not stock from Apple but technically a knockoff in a way.
Hugh Jeffreys : "Converting an iPhone XS Into a 12 Pro Max"
Online scammer : hmm..interesting
Ah the nostalgia. I had a xs max for a long time and I used to open it up lot to try and fix the face id. Those were good times lol. That phone taught me a lot about fixing newer iphones as all I knew how to fix where older ones.
You know the xs max is only 2 years old right
I did this to! But there is no rear microphone hole 😅
does cellular data work? and hopefully a jailbreak tweak could make the bottom mircophone default for everything.
It would be great if you colour coded your screw driver bits, that's way we can understand when you switch bits
I’m so glad I’ve watched you do this and shown all the problems with it because I really wanted to do this to my phone but I won’t bother now I’m a perfectionist and this just isn’t perfect 👍🏽
They now ship with a new flex cable which doesnt have a microphone
I hate when little things like that happen because like yourself, I am a perfectionist when it comes to going iPhone repairs. I wouldn't have even closed permanently until I tested and made sure it worked 100%. Aside from that, awesome vid as usual.
Yeah I didn't understand that, why not charge it opened, just for 15-20 minutes and then confirm it actually works?
May be he checked it behind the scenes.
@@shameelkhan209 Agreed, no doubt he did check it. He's not stupid.
Don't have to be stupid not to do it, and ofc we're all hoping he did it that way but we won't know it.
At this point, Apple might as well pair the adhesive, screws and volume buttons to the phone
I’m still using a Xs Max and after seeing this video, doesn’t seem like the trade off of looks for functionality are worth it. I think the design of it is pretty classic myself and the quality of the cameras have really held up.
fun fact:
in North Huaqiang ,Shenzhen, China, there are lots of manufacturers who customize 2nd handed iPhone XRs into iphone 11s, 12s, and even 13s. they sell them online for about 1500 yuan(about 225 usd). some people even send their XRs there and get the phone converted there, as XR, 11, 12 and 13 all are the same size. many students with low budget want to have something iOS so they buy the customized iPhones. and hence, a Chinese internet meme appeared, which is saying that everything tech related is customized from an XR, from phones, tablets and i even have seen a comment below a motorbike video saying it is customized from an iPhone XR
I wanna kno more PMO
@@LOCKBlT at the time this comment was published 8 months ago, the price was 1500 yuan for an xr into 11 12 or 13. now with the same price you can buy the iphone 11 modified into 12 or 13, which of course makes the modded xr way cheaper. these phones are usually cheaper without face id as they removed the expensive parts and replaced them with cheaper ones. they are usually sold on tiktok online shops and they are shipped from basically the same place, but more people just prefer to buy a 2nd hand xr or 11 (unmodified) and a modding kit which changes the shape into the 12 or 13. and i saw a skit that says 10 years later, you can still customise the xr into the latest iphones
@@wodeheigui thank you man do you have whatsup or another social media i can text you i have loads of questions thx u
Watching from my real 12 Pro Max, really cool mod, shame about the drawbacks, as it would be perfect without the little problems, as usual you have the patience of a saint and completed a successful repair and conversion whilst making it look easy.
People who buys a new iPhone every year: *Confused screaming*
Neighbor senior had an new IPhone 8 and like 3 weeks later she went to a att store to get a Samsung 10
Took a 350 dollar hit
Absolutely true, and I will add that the wifi power will considerably drop. I did X->12 pro, but 12 pro cases won't fit the modified one. It's more the size of 11pro, which is smaller. The new flashlight, even when it is happy and decides to turn on, will not really enlighten photos in the dark. I thought no one would buy it, and ended up selling it more than a year ago to someone I know, explaining the issues, and they are still happy with it to now :). I still have some of these, but am planning to do it anytime soon.
It's way time America and Europe cracked down on Apple who make it so dificult to replace broken parts in the phones. The fact they don't crack down on them makes you wonder who's side they are on!
Great job with the transfer! However, I feel the Xs max design is so much better than the squared off design. The square design might look cool but the sharp edges are uncomfortable to your hand after holding it for a while. Try holding a 12 max for a while then a Xs max and it is like night and day more comfortable!
Most people use a case anyway
For the Face ID trust me when I say it alway use heat gun on the glass side of the screen for 4-6 seconds which makes the removal of that cable much easier and you don’t have to worry about breaking it or not working for some reason 👌
Finally understand why iPhones are so expensive, you pay for screws and assembly costs. Such minutiae finicky work. Job well done!
there is now a special tool to remove battery strips, I saw it on tictok somewhere it literally removed it in seconds and it didnt break
I wouldn't recomend this housing until they fix some of the issues. Great job tho
its fixed

Nepali ley payoo vaney garxa😂
My favorite part is the chinese aliexpress seller who says "the factory does not generate useless flex cable". It's always works like that in their eyes. If they have a problem that they would like you to understand -> they are totally upset if you don't get it. If you have a legit issue with their product then they always just reply "not a big deal".
This is some serious professionalism brother, respect.
Mission impossible detective: " This will be a difficult job to detonate the bomb and might have lots of parts to remove. Do you think you can handle it?"
Hugh Jeffrey: "yes!"
If you can’t get this done easily you must have learning difficulties or similar.
@@dcclxxvii5703 some have patience to be doing that. I don't. also no one asked you!
@@irram7633
I didn’t need asking nor permission, it’s an open forum.
I messaged you on Instagram about this conversion, I’m glad to see you actually do it!
The fact that they forgot to cut a hole for the rear microphone feels like an oversight to me, and that the person who you bought the part from likely bought them in bulk from someone else.
:awesome:
oi, why doesn't it work?
There’s an 11 pro max convention housing also that would have looked perfect because of the display
And does it HAVE a place for the microphone?
-multiple types of screws
-many little clips
-many antenna stripes(i mean flex cables)
more like a expensive puzzle than a phone
im against people who do this to look relevant but im for people who do it because they genuinely like the new design and their current phones do the job well and dont need to be replaced
Looking at the amount of ribbon cables, brackets, and retaining clips, not to mention the multiple amounts of screws, I just wonder how apple is able to mass produce these things.
Answer is simple. Loads of Chinese kids crammed in a factory. Young little hands seem perfect for such a precision job.
All fun and games until someone looks at your model name in settings😂😂
The flex cables inside iPhones are why they are considered "expensive" phones.
I love his vids i learned soo much that I been fixing my family members phones thanks Hugh
Incredible content Hugh, keep up with the amazing work!
To be honest i never understood why you should do a housing swap, just that your Phone looks like a new model. Only useful for people who try to flex really badly.
Cuz the apple does the same but expensive 😬
Deception in my opinion.
For people who want the new design.
@@thetechpile6794 Apple makes upgrades to the phones every year.
Can you do a video on the iPhone 11 into a 12 pro max or 13 pro max?
you're so talented!
Great, now I have to be even more scared of online scams :)
AS MUCH AS I’D NEVER ATTEMPT TO DO THIS MYSELF your videos are fascinating to watch and I’ve learned lots of things that any phone user should know. Thanks.
In india apple's iPhone xs has no non genuine part message when you replace the parts because iPhone parts in india is cheap but we use good part quality from our shop in india
Wouldn’t it be crazy if apple paired the phone to the housing???
Don't give them ideas
@@Adam_Boots Apple doesn’t even watch his videos.
@@AmtrakFlareon It was a joke
Wow, this is awesome dude.
Chinese companies taking notes be like mhm mhm 📝📝📝
Seeing that poor microphone suffer cuz of the design error of the case was painful to watch, but still this was an interesting mod
It's alot of work...but Hugh makes it so easy to watch and follow.
33 dislikes are from people who bought new iphone because the geniuses from the genius bar say thier old cracked ones are irrepairable
How many screws do you want?
Apple: yes
I did the same conversion on a xr the only suggestion i have for you is to use some T7000 adhesive around the speaker and charging port to help retain waterproof functionality otherwise great job
Talented dude
What? It’s simple, I could do this when I was 10.
Got a link to the housing?

How Apple make 11/12 Pro Max
Apple: hmm Let’s Add 3 Camera on the XS and X
The video we have been waiting for!
Have we?
Hi Hugh
I love your videos, however showing that this can be done will only increase the number of people getting cheated by scammers selling them old iPhones saying its the new model.
Also, the rear mic is also used for noise suppression during voice calls (from earpiece and not with speakerphone), so the noise suppression capabilities will also be limited.
Now make a sleeper build. Use an IPhone 10 housing, iPhone 10 camera module with a broken iPhone 12
Doubt that’s possible as they would’ve changed the connection and obviously the layout of the device
Whoa that's some Transformation. I didn't even think you could make a XS a 12 Pro Max
from one techie to another, you are a legend!
EDIT: this is proof that consumers don't need to jump from model to model so suddenly! (if i need to explain, this heavily applies to you!)
Incrível essa customização 👍👍👍👍

It's due to the efforts of Chinese people that we get to repair our phones/electronics cheaply. I think 95% is dependent on Chinese. Really appreciate that. You ask, they've got
Your fine motor skills and attention to every small detail in these micro devices reminds me of master watch makers of the 1700s!
This made me realize, how well the iPhone is built. Attention to details by Apple is god level.
Sorry but how well? I'd say it's poorly engineered compared to other manufacturers. All they know to do is to make a gazilion flex cables 😁👍
good video brother

Watching this cannibalism now i honored the high pricing of an iphone... respect to those assembly engineer .. damn too many clips, flexible and retainers..
This seems like an unbelievable amount of work and inconvenience for what is basically a cosmetic change, I'm struggling to see what the market is for this and I doubt someone would go to all the trouble to try and push a converted iPhone X as an iPhone 12 to scam someone as that's the only other use case I think for this.
I guess you finally read my DM... Thank you for the content

First
yes sir
@Yahya i cant find anyone who asked
yep
Wow
That microphone would give me constant nightmares, if I knew, it's "installed" like that. Also, if the new battery went flat during storage, it might very well have degraded further than the 13%, the original one had lost. Overall an outstanding job, as usual, but from perfectionist to perfectionist, this has to be said ;)
this opens up a whole new universe for scammers and thieves to swap things and scam ppl !!!!
this video will help them do it ..............
I did this with my iPhone 6 and turned it into an iPhone 8, this was a few years ago. It was great!
Did u sell it
I feel bad for the poor soul that ends up buying this phone after it goes off to ebay with the rest of repairs on this channel

RUclips captions: *welcome back to another huge jefferies video*
What!!!!! I love my XS Max and would totally do this. Genius! I need a new battery in my XS.
@Hugh jefferys Dude, I’ve been binge watching your videos for the last 7 days. Like 15-20 videos per day. My kids always ask why you make so many iPhone 6S Plus videos. I have no answer except it has to be one of your favorites devices.
Have wondered for a little bit. Would it be possible for a company to build a new frame where say a iPhone 7plus could have the internals transferred over and it make the phone look like something completely new.
It would have to have a new screen etc. probably not worth the time or effort. I just feel some of these older iPhones still have so much life left in them. It’s a pity that more of these hardware facelifts can’t be done.
Hello @HughJeffreys I wanted to address the flex cabling you mentioned that go from the wireless charging pad to the buttons: those cables are meant to be ground cables to ground the charging pad to the assembly housing. This type of grounding is quite common in electronics and even things like spacecraft.
The lower Cable is for GPS Information
If it snap, you can not turn around or left or right in Maps
Hugh Jeffreys: Selling a iphone xs
Me: what do you mean iphone xs, its obviously a 12 pro max
I use-to do this with the iPhone 6s, 7 and 8 converting them into a later model housing or into a product red housing, people never bought them, they were so hard to sell and often accusing them of being fake Apple phones, even with the phone in their hands they would often say it’s a good fake so be careful doing this people.
This must be the best upgrade ever without spending 1000$ for a new one (except refurbished parts)
The title for this video should be" Converting an iPhone XS Into a 12 Pro Max with many problems"
Dang! That was a Pro custom mod job bro! Nice work! Reminds me of when I used to do body swaps on the 4's and 4S back in the day. Thumbs down on the maker of that case and flex cable issue. But nice to know there are products out there like this. You got skills man!
Use to do the same and made a killing in middle school
why cant you use a flat screen display to make look fully flat on all sides?
