Last October, Ken Pillonel, an engineering student, switched an iPhone X from lightning to USB-C, which supports charging, data transfer, and reversibility.
At the same time, the entire project has been open sourced, and Pillaronel has shared the transformation process in detail, including reverse engineering of Apple's C94 interface.
The revamped iPhone X was also sold at $86,001 (about 549,500 yuan).
Now that it's open source, there are other big guys to try, such as Gernot J bstl, and released a modified video, saying that it is inspired by Ken Pillonel and is also based on the iPhone X.
The strongest is to support IP8 waterproof function, to make up for the defects caused by the modification, according to the released video, the modified iPhone can fully wash away the water pipe.
It is understood that he used 20% of the carbon fiber port material, and then used strong glue to fix it, making its USB-C interface more robust, but due to tolerances, it can still see the spilled glue inside the port.
J bstl said he plans to launch the waterproof USB-C interface iPhone X on eBay in a few days, and it is no problem to expect the auction price to exceed $10,000. emmm, isn't it also a way to get rich?
For Apple's insistence on using the Lightning interface, there are currently two versions, one is more durable and strong than Type-C, and the other is to make money. What do you think?
