When you receive a fair offer for your used iPhone, you can often earn enough for a large down payment on the latest model. You spent a fair amount on your initial investment, so it only makes sense to recapture as much of that money as possible. There's a lot to gain by selling your pre-owned iPhone instead of trashing it or letting it sit idle. As an industry leader in buying and selling mobile devices, we offer one of the easiest, fastest and most secure selling platforms online. But considering the prices of many new iPhone models, the payouts are significantly more these days. Trade-in values were often next to nothing. Before the arrival of the iPhone, many people let their old phones sit in a drawer collecting dust. It is just a prototype.Since revolutionizing the cell phone industry more than a decade ago, the iPhone® has emerged as one of the world's most popular mobile devices. So basically you can do whatever you want with it but don’t expect anything from me if you break something. I guarantee that the phone will work when you receive it but if you don’t follow the aforementionned guidelines you are on your own. You will not restore, update, or erase this iPhone You might also want to note the conditions of sale: He’s put it up for sale on eBay, and at the time of writing bidding was already up to an insane $85K. Part of the process requires modifying Apple’s C94 chip, which is used to manage the power going into the device and to identify certified Lightning cables and accessories.īut if that’s a little beyond your electronics skills, you could always buy the one he already made. Of course, in real life, things are much more complex than they sound. Pillonel basically created a Lightning to USB-C adapter so miniaturized that it could fit inside the iPhone. The nearly 14-minute video shows details on how someone can modify an iPhone’s connector. Pillonel didn’t give too many details at the time, but subsequently put a detailed tutorial video online for anyone who wants to follow in his footsteps. It’s now looking increasingly possible that Apple might jump straight from Lightning to a fully portless iPhone.
Way back in 2016, I hoped it would be coming sooner rather than later, and the European Union has been ramping up the pressure on Apple to do just that – yet it still hasn’t happened. While Apple adopted USB-C for both MacBooks and iPads, it hasn’t yet done the same for iPhones – and it’s by no means certain that it ever will. It is billed as the world’s first USB-C iPhone, and it could well remain the only one in existence. Then the schematics for the project were set and tested and the final was to make it fit inside the iPhone! Then the next step was to reverse-engineer the Apple C94 connector and make my own PCB with a female USB C port. The first part was about getting the electronics to work. I’ve finally built the World’s First iPhone with a USB Type-C port. Ken Pillonel last month modified an iPhone X to replace the Lightning port with a fully functional USB-C port …
At the time of writing, the USB-C iPhone eBay listing was already at $85K, and subsequently hit six figures. It had hit $100,100, but it appears that bidder didn’t make good, so it likely went to the second-placed bidder.Ī robotics engineer dismayed by the lack of a USB-C iPhone decided to take matters into his own hands by making one – and has now put it up for sale.
