We have already bought restored iPhone on Aliexpress. Externally, they looked like devices after a year of careful exploitation, but surprises were waited inside us: strange copies of screens with color distortion instead of the original, batter-lived batteries, wheezing in dynamics.

I want to get involved in the adventure! What do I need?

Motherboard. This is the main part of the smartphone, which will be needed to build iPhone 7. Look for it in search of Aliexpieze on request "IPhone 7 Logic Board".

Please note that 2 types of fumes come across the search results: with the touch ID without it. The last option is not for you, with the help of it a fully workable device will not be collected not only with all the desire, but even at any level of skills.

The fact is that the fingerprint sensor Touch ID is tied to the motherboard at the hardware level. Sick her another will not come out. If you set something left, you can use it no more than as the Home button.

That is why you also need to look at the color of the Touch ID. Change the sensor will not work separately, so you need to immediately choose black or white.

The motherboard is a comprehensive spare part on which a large number of components are installed. In this case, you must concern the amount of memory: 32, 128 or 256 GB. It is from him that the cost of the component depends most.

See that you do not slip your motherboard blocked on some operator. Read about all this in the description of the lot on Aliexpress.

Case. This part of the future iPhone 7 will be responsible for tactile sensations from the use of the device. The more expensive and high-quality item you buy, the more complete your impressions will be. Search on request "IPhone 7 REAR CASE".

Almost all sellers on Aliexpress are put into parcel the necessary additional parts. What goes with the case:

• Tray for SIM card
• Volume buttons
• Power button
• Switch modes

The fact is that it is almost impossible to choose the external details from one manufacturer in color to another, so do not try to save and look for them separately.

Also note that the Touch ID sensor, which comes complete with the motherboard, should approach everything else in color - black for black models and white for everyone else.

Nevertheless, you can collect some interesting color option. For example, you can combine white and black components and get a stylish gadget with a black rear and touch ID, as well as a white front panel.

By the way, the chamber's eye is already installed on each normal case, so it does not have to buy it separately.

Pin buttons. Search on request "IPhone 7 Power and Volume Control Cable". It is needed to connect buttons and other components.

Display. You will need a search query. «Iphone 7 OEM DISPLAY». It is very important to specify the OEM to get the maximum quality screen as a result.

However, be morally ready for the fact that the screen can be somewhat different from the original. He can have some other colors, it may be less bright and responsive.

It pleases that the displays of modern iPhone go assembled. In addition to the screen, you also get glass with a built-in touchpad. It gives rise to repairs, but simplifies the assembly of the real Apple smartphone from spare parts with Aliexpress.

Display protection. Look for her on request "IPhone 7 LCD SHIELD Plate". It is attached to the screen assembly, holds other components and protects it from heating and other negative impacts.

Battery. Look for it on request "IPhone 7 Battery". Do not pay attention to the cheapest options and do not try to find a battery of high capacity - all this will not bring to good.

Normal battery capacity for iPhone 7 1960 mAh, from this and repel. Most sellers warn that real can differ slightly, but the difference rarely is more than 10% in a large or smaller side.

Full set of screws. Search on request "IPhone 7 Screw Set". So find a package with all necessary for the assembly of the device with cogs.

Basic camera. What is the iPhone without a basic camera? Look for the appropriate option on request. "IPhone 7 REAR CAMERA".

Do not chase for the most cheap options, you do not need them. Fortunately, for 7 cameras to replace the already cost very cheap.

Front-camera. Look for the necessary spare part on request "IPhone 7 Front Camera". Everything else is similar to the main chamber.

Pay attention to all the necessary additional sensors (lighting, approximation) are already part of the front camera module.

Speaker. Look for it on request "IPhone 7 Earpiece Speaker".

This thing is useful to you not only to make voice calls. No, this is another speaker to create a stereo effect while playing music.

The main speaker. Look for this spare part on request "IPhone 7 Speaker"But in no case do not confuse the main speaker with conversational.

Of course, the Chinese analogue is unlikely to play as high quality as the original. Nevertheless, our experience shows that there is a difference, but it is not super critical.

Port Lightning. Look for it on request "IPhone 7 Connector". The port will be needed for charging the device and connect accessories to it.

For some reason, most sellers on Aliexpress sells this item not one thing, but a lot of 5-10. But you can find the desired option.

The host with this spare part includes the main microphone for the iPhone.

Vibromotor. In general, it is not a simple vibromotor in the iPhone 7, but a special tactile TAPTIC Engine engine. However, by such a request on Aliexpress you will not find anything on legal reasons, and here is the right one - "IPhone 7 Vibro".

Be prepared for the fact that the tactile return from such a decision may not be so pleasant as the original.

Wi-Fi antenna. Search on request "IPhone 7 Wi-Fi Antenna". The package usually includes all accompanying spare parts.

Pieces kit. Search on request "IPhone 7 Metal Plate". It is useful for connecting components among each other and other tasks.

Screwdriver Set. In the parcel almost with every detail for the iPhone with Aliexpress, sellers will put several screwdrivers, so in the end you will have such a large set that the additional will not need.

Moreover, with a high probability, all together you will collect not independently, but in the service where all these tools are already enough.

Additional accessories. Headphones, charging and other accessories buy at their discretion.

(Structure of costs for assembly parts)

I took the more or less average of all components that I managed to find on Aliexpress to collect a real iPhone 7 to 128 GB. Intermediate amount of about 28 380 rubles. Nevertheless, it is necessary to add a master who will collect your device and thorough missing things. Approximate outcome - 30 thousand rubles.

Of course, the most expensive spare part was not the screen or case, but the motherboard. On average, the version with a 128 GB storage will take about 62% in the cost structure. In second place, the display (14%), and the third divide the case and the battery (5%).

It turns out that on average, about 14% falls on small spare parts, screws, glands and other nonsense. But without all this will not work with all the desire.

Most parts have free delivery, but some still have to spend some minor amount that we decided not to take into account in the calculations.

Some details may not reach you in proper form, and the sellers may forget to put something into the kit, so some trifles will have to buy at the place of assembly. But these costs are also insignificant.

You are lying, you can not assemble a real iPhone from Chinese glands

Of course it is impossible! You're right.

Nevertheless, no one says that we will collect iPhone completely from the Chinese spare parts replicas, no. The fact is that in the subway for 11 years with the appearance of the first Apple smartphone, they learned all the details besides the most important - motherboard.

Even in the description of this detail on Aliexpress, it is clearly indicated that it is not new. Local craftsmen just take off motherboards with original deviceswhich can no longer be used in direct appointment, screw your interest and immediately sell. Scheme is simple.

It turns out that in fact you buy the heart of the device after some kind of use, and only then hang it with new ones, but not original components. This fact relieves the performance of the device, its updates and other things. For all this meets the motherboard, which was removed from the real iPhone.

If you still decide to collect iPhone 7 from the parts with Aliexpress, you can use the IFIXIT instructions. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend that you appeal for help to a qualified specialist who will correctly fold all parts of the puzzle and even doubt the missing if it is necessary.

Guys, not easier to just buy a restored device?

We have already bought restored iPhone 7 on Aliexpress. The device was with traces of use, but careful. Everything inside it was original. We ruined only the gasket that protected the internal components from moisture.

This used iPhone 7 cost us 25 thousand rubles. (This is with any package of delivery), and the assembled almost only from non-original parts pulls on all 30 thousand in the second case, we have 128 GB, and not 32, so prices can be considered equal. So what is better?

Of course, I'm for the finished iPhone With Aliexpress, and better for the official refurbished, which is most expensive for only a few thousand. Collect the device from individual parts is too difficult, and it is logical to do only from sports interest.

Why does it turn out that it is almost only so expensive to collect a smartphone? The fact is that spare parts have always cost and will cost more than the entire device assembly. For example, some unofficial SCs even buy new MacBook on disassembly to get components for replacement, and earn them.

Therefore, I will repeat, better buy ready-made devices. And imposing in the adventure, soberly appreciate the possible risks and consequences.

P.S. You can also see the cost of parts on Alibaba, they are usually cheaper there. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that it will make the idea significantly more profitable.

Worldwide. As usual, the guys from the IFIXIT team were the first to get new and disassemble them. For this, they went to distant Australia and stood standing a long queue.

It is unlikely that you do not need disassemble the iPhone 6. So soon, however, there are different situations and it is better to be ready for independent repair and replacing components in advance.

Using a special Pentalobe screwdriver (you can use a 54 bit driver kit), unscrew the screws at least "Pentalobe". It is a pity that Apple uses non-standard screws. Well at least the fact that the device does not need to warm to pars. Thank you anyway.

Next, we open the phone with a suction cup, or a special scotch that leaves no traces (guys from ifixit use a special ISLACK tool). At home, it is better to keep the phone over a soft surface and in two hands and, of course, do not do it on weight.

The next step includes unusual use of boomeranga. We recommend to perform it exclusively under the supervision of a qualified specialist, since the use of boomeranga at home can harm not only the device, but also you and your loved ones. But we will be serious! It is best to turn off all the loops a regular mediatory, like any other plasemasine without sharp edges. Turn off the display loop and go further.

Inside - Many standard philips screws. But a good set of screwdrivers from the nearest radio store will help to cope with any type of screws. With a simple screwdriver, we deal with a metal plate that holds the front panel.

Remove the "Home" button from the front panel. For this purpose, nippers from a manicure set are perfect.

Turn off the loops and remove the front camera and speaker for a detailed study.

To remove the battery, we will again use the plastic "mediator". If you do everything correctly, it will allow you to quickly and without mechanical damage to remove the battery.

The iPhone 6 uses 3.82 to a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1810 mA / h. On one side of it is the power of 6.91 watts / hour, and on the other - 7.01. It seems that engineers managed to improve the figures after the text for printing for one side was approved.

We take out the back chamber tweezers.

Turn off and remove it all the antennas.

Hurray, we got to the motherboard! First, we need to remove the protection against electro-magnetic pulses to find out what inside. And do it.

Now remove the vibromotor module.

There are two types of vibromotors - counterweight and linear oscillating. What better? If you believe the guys from ifixit, it is also difficult to answer this question as to choose between Pepsi and Cola. It seems that this time Apple made a choice in favor of a linear oscillating type.

This year, the appearance of the dynamics has changed slightly. True, the lack of marking push on the thoughts that the changes compared to the speaker of the past model are insignificant.

Charging and headphone jack make up one module and placed on one plume. This means that one connector cannot be replaced separately, only together. Of course, from the point of view of work, it is a deficiency, but for Apple it allows you to save a precious place inside the device.

The last thing remains to be removed - the on and swing buttons of the volume adjustment. In this we will again help tweezers.

That's all. On the scale of maintainability, IFIXIT iPhone 6 receives 7 points out of 10 possible.

The following factors are explained by the following factors:
+ The display module is separated primarily, which simplifies the procedure for replacing the screen (the most frequent breakage)
+ Battery Change easy. All you need to do is unscrew the pentalobe screws and gently remove plastic seals.
+ Fingerprint sensor cable no longer interferes with the opening of the device (in 5s it could be very easy to damage)
- Non-standard Pentalobe screws, requiring special screwdrivers, are still used in iPhone 6.
- Apple is not divided by the repair of iPhone 6 with unauthorized independent workshops and customers

Former employee of Google and a stray hacker from Silicon Valley Scotty Allen gathered 6s Iphon with his own hands. The smartphone was collected in five months from the details purchased by him in China's markets. The video on which he shows how to collect the phone, has become a youtube trend.

American Scotty Allen collected a smartphone and recorded the video on which he told detail about the process of assembling the phone.

The correspondent of "Clop" Metin Jumagulov took an interview with a stray hacker from the silicon valley.

The story is conducted on behalf of Scotty Allen

My name is Scotty Allen. I am a hacker and engineer.

I come from the USA, San Francisco. He worked at Google and participated in some famous startups. The last three years I travel around the world.

About one and a half years ago, I arrived in China to the city of Shenzhen, next to Hong Kong, in order to learn the process of electronics production in more detail.

I have always been associated with electronics, IT technologies and now I can explore all this at a deeper level.

I fell in love with this place. In Shenzhen, I spend a lot of time.

With like-minded people, I walked in a place that can be called the Mobile Phone Market. There, mostly sold spare parts and details.

We did not too versed in all this. One of us said: "I wonder if one of you can collect your own phone?"

This idea did not come out of my head. It sounded like a challenge for me. I took it.

It was a great way to learn deeper about the mobile phone market and about the smartphones themselves.

I thought about this nine months before I decided to create a phone myself and recorded the video.

Why did I choose an iPhone? This is a good question that many ask me. Firstly, I am familiar with iPhone much better than with the rest of the smartphones. I use it myself.

The second - in China there are a lot of things related to "EPL". Not only phones, but also various details, spare parts, buildings and more. IPhone is very popular.

And because of the fact that the "filling" for iPhone can be easily found in urban shops and markets, it is easier to collect it.

I also thought that the creation of an iPhone would be a little more interesting, because this brand is recognized worldwide.

Before that I had no experience.This is the first time I do something like that. I will say more. This is the first time I have seen the "insides" of the phone (laughs).

The greatest difficulty with which I met is my bad knowledge of the Chinese language (laughs).

It was no less difficult to find all parts for the assembly of the phone, to understand what exactly needs to be bought and where.

It's hard to find a processor. You can not just buy a processor, similar to what is in iPhone. The only possible way is to buy, disassemble the iPhone and withdraw its processor.

As I understood with the processor - this separate story, which I may tell you in the next video.

Another difficulty is what I wanted to create my own motherboard, technical details can be viewed on video.

All I spent about 1000 dollars. Most of the amount went to the details and tools. But now, scientific experience, if I want to repeat the experiment, then I will put 300 dollars.

The whole process, from making a decision before the presentation of the video, took five months.But the real job is to build a phone and a roller entry - lasted for about two months.

My own iPhone and iPhone from Eppl is almost the same. I now have two phones and if I show them to you, you will not see the differences.

Of course, an iPhone from "EPL" has a warranty period and he was going to be more experienced in this area. Therefore, we can say that it is better.

Open your own business or continue to collect phones I am not going. It was just an experiment.

Honestly, I did not expect my video to be so popular. What is happening now - madness (laughs).

Many people write me now, congratulate. Often I see messages like - "It was a great video! We look at you! "

People are shocked, they are very excited.

I myself was very excited and happy when I finally finished work. It took so much time and labor, sometimes I thought I could not cope. Naturally, I am satisfied with myself.

Sphere video trade captured me, I love it.

I will be honest, it happened after I visited Kyrgyzstan. I was inspired by the videos that Kloop did.

Definitely, I will continue to shoot videos related to the area of \u200b\u200bIT technologies, my adventures and travels.

I am pleased to come again to Kyrgyzstan. I had a good time.

I believe that Kyrgyzstan is an excellent example of an open world, a democratic country. And the "cloop" is a very important part of the country.

I am impressed with the activities of this media and everyone I met in the editorial office. I am still amazed by Kyrgyzstan.

Engineering genius does not know the boundaries, and many craftsmen around the world create a variety of devices from remedies. With your example, they show that even the most modern and technological device can be repeated, having some free time, developed fantasy and growing out of the right place. It tells how to collect the iPhone from the Chinese spare parts and why you need a computer size with a room that is capable only to run Tetris.

Jobs himself

Scotty Allen Software Developer (Scotty Allen) caught fire for the idea of \u200b\u200bcollecting their own iPhone, using extremely spare and used parts. He lives in China, so there was no problem with finding parts: he visited the Huaqiangbei electronics market several times in Shenzhen and found everything you need.

"You must be wondering why I decided to collect iPhone 6s, not iPhone 7? I had two reasons for it. First, I already have an iPhone 6s purchased in Store, and I could use it to compare the result of the assembly with the original, "wrote Allen in his blog. - Secondly, it is much more important, spare parts for iPhone 7 find the market is incredibly difficult. I do not quite understand why. "

Allen planned to assemble a fee on their own, soldering all the components, but it turned out to be too difficult, so he bought ready to assemble with the fingerprint scanner Touchid. The screen he also intended to collect on his own, but due to the lack of special equipment I had to buy a used screen.

Allen says that he was not particularly needed by the second iPhone 6s, the project was stood in order to understand how much such an idea is real and that the Chinese spare parts market should be explored. The idea of \u200b\u200bhim threw one of the Shenzhen engineers with whom he communicated in the market.

When choosing an allen body, I ran into an unexpected problem - he could not find the HOME button with a black fingerprint scanner, and he had to collect a pink iPhone. As a result, Allen's entire project took more than 1000 dollars, but he admits that he spent most of the money. The real cost of the phone amounted to only 300 dollars. It cannot be said that this allowed the developer to save, since the Apple iPhone 6S reassessed will cost approximately the same amount.

Plywood phone

Even when it was engaged in the development of the modular project Ara, the craftsmen began to create phones under individual needs. One of the creators of the Arduino platform David Mellis (David Mellis) decided to make his own phone and laid out the drawings and sources into the network. To do this, you needed the Arduino GSM Shield, buttons, display and speaker with a microphone.

The housing for the phone Mellis decided to make it possible to cut the holes with a laser from the plywood. Everyone can do this item completely differently: print on a 3D printer, cast from metal or even cut out of plasticine.

1 /11

Fantasy can be shown when choosing components. The easiest display for eight characters, according to the creator, will cost $ 40. The liquid crystal screen costs only 10 dollars - it would seem more convenient, but Mellis warns that such a screen is less reliable and can be broken before installation in the phone. The speaker also turned out to be very expensive pleasure: he cost about $ 12.

Mellis describes this project as "complex, but fulfilled" and argues that the cost of the phone collected by its own hands is about 200 dollars. It can take and make calls, keep the names and friends of friends, show time, take and send ESEMES
- That is, everything that any "dialer" knows how to do. Therefore, it is worth it for such a project, only if you really want to do something unique with your own hands.

Porn Frare Sgubilo

The prisoners are also not alien to high technologies. Two prisoners of Marion prison in the American state of Ohio manually gathered computers to go online, watch porn and read articles. Thanks to the prisoner's rehabilitation program, within which they disassemble old computers on processing components (RET3), (Adam Johnston) and Scott Spriggs (Scott Spriggs) managed to collect two fully functional computers.

Like secret agents, they plunged all the necessary components in the trolley and quietly brought it by the protection and metal detectors. After that, they collected PC and hid them in the ceiling, then conducted Internet cables. To connect to the prison network, they used the login and password, which was spied at one of the employees.

Computers were used for the entire coil: watching films, TV shows and porn, studied instructions for making weapons, explosives and drugs in Darknet via Tor. All sorts of hacker "rows" were found on PCs: self-signed certificates, VPN-tools, Bitcoin-wallets, bank accounts and much more.

Separate mention deserves the fact that with computers prisoners read notes on. It helped them to arrange five credit cards, knowing only the social insurance numbers and the date of birth of the jailers, which they kidnapped from the inner base.

Hackers-Arrestants declassified four months later: network administrators at some point noticed that from a certain time for an unknown reason on one of the computers exceeds the traffic limit. Employees received a notification that a new device was connected to the network, but did not give this values. And only when the jailers began to check the entire prison network, they found those most computers hidden under the ceiling.

Back in the past

With the example of David Mellis, constructed a phone from plywood, the British circuit engineer James Newman decided to create his own "from scratch". He gathered a Megaprocessor car from seven benches of two-meter height, the total weight of more than 500 kilograms. The creation of a computer numbering 40 thousand transistors and 10 thousand LEDs, Newman left 40 thousand pounds and four years of life.

"The car on your desktop can be in millions of times better than that I built, but my much more beautiful. I do not think that I can ever sell my project, but I want Megaprocessor to be represented as an exhibit in a museum or educational institution, "Newman told about his development.

This computer is more like a computer of the middle of the XX century, rather than modern PC. Newman specifically created a 16-bit processor with a frequency of 20 kilohertz. The entire computer is divided into certain modules collected from individual boards. Several modules are collected in a single cabinet for two meters. To demonstrate the capabilities of the "megaprocessor", the Tetris game, launched on a huge LED displacement with a resolution of 32 per 64 LED pixel, was chosen. Management occurred using a modified arcade controller. During the game in real time, everything is visible inside the car.

In the process of assembly it was not without any problems. Near a dozen Transistors Newman installed incorrectly, and it was still like a needle in a haystack. Such errors occurred and when connecting connectors, which were more than 500. Other difficulties were thinned wires, not to the end of the inserted cables, closures on the body, transistor defects and much more. If all this is summed, it becomes clear why the creation of the "mega-processor" took so much time.

According to Newman, his brainchild is ideal for educational purposes to show people what is happening inside the gadgets used by them. After all, the computer was originally created to visualize the computing process. On the question of why he spent so many strength, time and resources on Megaprocessor, Newman answered quite prose: "I just wanted so much."

This instruction will help disassemble your iPhone 6, do everything neat. The iPhone 6 has glued parts. If the analysis occurs with the effort, it means that it is incorrect.

When writing the iPhone 6 in a neat position, spread all the details in a neat position, then when assembling you will not have difficulties. All information can also be deleted, so create backup copies of everything you need.
