Creating a USB-C iPhone 13 with no loss of functionality, cable reversibility, fast charging, data transfer, and water resistance.
00:00:06 Creating a USB-C iPhone 13 with no loss of functionality, cable reversibility, fast charging, data transfer, and water resistance.
π± The creator disassembled an iPhone 13 to explore the idea of making a USB-C iPhone.
βοΈ The goal was to achieve cable reversibility, fast charging, data transfer, and water resistance.
π The process involved extracting the Apple C94 board and wiring it up inside the iPhone.
00:02:47 A DIY enthusiast successfully creates a USB-C iPhone 13 by modifying the charging port assembly, using power tools and custom cables.
β‘οΈ Successfully combined the C94 board from the cable and the charging port assembly from the phone using a ribbon cable.
π Used power tools and low melt solder to safely remove the lightning port and desolder the pins.
π Managed to make a 0.5mm flex cable work instead of the required 0.6mm pitch for the 8-pin connectors.
π¦ Found a waterproof and compact USB-C port that caught the attention for use in the project.
00:05:07 The speaker creates a USB-C port for the iPhone 13 by designing a small board and connecting the wires. They make a mistake but can fix it.
π‘ Designing a small board to connect the lightning cable wires and enable fast charging with resistors.
π¨οΈ Printing the board with the necessary parameters and receiving the finished product.
βοΈ Making adjustments to the board to fix a mistake and ensure proper functionality.
00:07:25 In this video, I modify an iPhone 13 to have a USB-C port by cutting out larger holes. I find a USB-C port from another phone and successfully install it.
π The video involves modifying an iPhone 13 to have a USB-C port.
π οΈ A CNC machine is used to cut larger holes in the phone frame.
π± The creator considers finding a USB-C port from another phone, specifically mentioning Sony.
00:09:52 Creating a USB-C iPhone 13 involves enlarging the hole and modifying the frame and screen bracket. The process requires careful utilization of limited internal space.

π§ Challenges faced in fitting the USB-C board inside the phone
π΅ Steps taken to make space for the USB-C board
00:12:24 A modified iPhone 13 with a USB-C port was created by replacing the original parts and making slight modifications.
π± The video demonstrates creating a USB-C iPhone 13 by modifying the original standoff screws and using rubber grommets.
π The modified screws securely hold the USB-C port in place, while the bottom screws clear the port and fit into the screen brackets.
π The cables are wired up and routed, and a slight modification is made to the new screen adhesive.
00:15:24 A video about creating a custom USB-C iPhone 13.
π The video showcases the process of creating a custom USB-C iPhone 13.
π¨ The creator highlights the modifications made to the iPhone 13 to incorporate USB-C connectivity.
π The video ends with a call to action to check out the creator's playlist of custom builds or subscribe for future content.
