Phone X Product RED
Mod For iPhone 7! #Helpful Post
your
old iPhone 7 into a new iPhone
10
can I possibly be serious did I learn
the
magical alchemy process of turning
lead
into gold of iPhones no but as
close
as possible I will show you how to
turn
your old iPhone 7 relatively old
into
a new iPhone 10 both in looks and
in
behavior I mean the software that's
very
important here too so basically
your
old iPhone will be able to do
almost
everything a new one can do but
without
spending a thousand dollars on
it
and yeah I've done this video before
with
the old iPhone a6 success version
honestly
it turned out better than I
thought
but still not great now there's
a
new kit that's way more accurate way
more
detailed since this thing was
actually
made before the iPhone 10 came
out
so they changed up some things and
the
software is different too so let's
go
ahead and cover how to turn your
iPhone
7 into an iPhone time I got the
latest
and greatest kit right here so
you're
curious to see how it differs and
the
kicker is there's a product red
version
so if you wanted a color that
the
iPhone 10 does not officially come
with
you could do it so on let's check
it
out nice and pop and red in there so
I
try the camera around here and I'll
show
you guys the latest and greatest
from
China ok so here I've got my donor
phone
which obviously you will need
iPhone
sevens have come down in price a
lot
you can get a used one on ebay for
around
250 to 300 dollars I've seen them
that
low so you know it's not so much
risk
you're not risking a thousand seven
hundred
eight hundred dollar phone to do
this
with but let's check out what the
results
could possibly be so product red
I'm
actually interested to see if they
have
the little label down there because
that
would be a nice touch
and
already I can tell that the unit
itself
is looking way better I mean the
finish
of it looks great the camera lens
looks
way more realistic I mean if I
actually
saw this that I have a hard
time
differing it's from the real one
not
in this color obviously but oh ok
great
I love that they updated the text
see
on the old one whose apparent that
from
that alone it was not real but that
one
definitely looking better I'm
disappointed
they did not do the product
to
red but that looks fantastic
definitely
a huge improvement from the
old
one so as you can see the flash will
go
here
to
mask it so I'm curious to see how the
performance
will differ from the
official
one but it looks fantastic I
mean
look at that evolution the edges
look
great closer to the real one of
course
they do come with the gear you
need
and they started including the
battery
stickers too which is helpful
let's
check out the other one so I got a
space
gray color as well this was not
available
at the time the other kits so
it's
good to see that they evolved in
their
design as well okay so let's check
it
out and ooh that is nice
I
am surprised I really like this
actually
so the text looks great I mean
next
to the official one it looks
literally
like an iPhone 10 I mean look
at
that you can see that it's not as
dark
the Apple logos they're a little
lighter
the lenses though I mean it
looks
just about the same size wise
positioning
much much better than the
old
version so already I can tell that
this
is gonna be way more convincing and
the
cool thing is it's thinner than the
official
iPhone 10 so your iPhone 10
kits
could be thinner and slimmer more
comfortable
to hold on the bottom as you
can
see you're not gonna be missing the
headphone
jack because you never had it
in
the first place unlike on this one we
actually
had to get rid of it entirely
so
okay I love how it looks the text has
been
updated the color is accurate to
the
lens actually looks like the real
deal
so
once we get everything in there very
curious
to see how it'll turn out so
yeah
this will not be an easy process
yes
you guys will need some hands-on
work
disassembling your iPhone 7 so I
recommend
the iFixit guides which I'll
link
down below in the description but
if
you guys do want to go ahead and see
how
to install this I will show you that
and
at the ends the software bit so I'll
show
you how to actually get convincing
iPhone
10 software on your device and
make
it look and feel like an iPhone 10
and
actually have some of the features
it
does alright let's get to it and uh
just
a little checklist here to make
sure
you guys have everything you need
with
the kits you'll actually get the
tools
but I'm gonna use my own from I
fix
it here I would recommend one of
these
they really help to keep track of
the
screws because positioning is very
important
it's
quite a process so I'll basically
skip
over the harder points but do a
little
time lapse for you guys so you
can
see how it went I've never done this
to
an iPhone 7 so this will be a first
but
you know I love challenges so let's
get
to it so I decided to end up going
with
the product a red version just
because
of how unique it is everyone's
seen
an iPhone 10 and Space Gray but
what
about products red and in
comparison
with the official one it's
not
too far off actually color wise it's
just
the mattes versus glass finish over
here
obviously can't have both here and
no
labels down there but otherwise
looking
pretty clean pretty similar
everything
even the port's the silver
attention
to details so I do like that
so
these look pretty dang close all
right
so to get started we need a heat
gun
and because of the adhesive on the
iPhone
7 you want to loosen that with
some
heats next up remove the 2p2 bolts
on
the bottom goes in just like butter
since
it is heated up and the seal is
sold
it's literally like a dollar or two
on
eBay so not a big deal to replace it
to
keep your water resistance you can do
that
now this is the new iPhone 7 series
so
it does open up to the right and it's
ready
to go so open it to the side and
we
are in now you want to go ahead and
remove
this plate and this plate up here
in
order to remove the display and
that's
it your iPhone screen is
separated
so set that aside and now down
to
the difficult stuff so now I would
recommend
you guys follow closely with
an
eye fix that guide but it will give
you
some pointers along the way I'm
gonna
start by removing the taptic
engine
down here and first I've actually
just
unplugged the power that way if
anything
happens there's no energy going
through
there next up we're gonna remove
the
grounding brackets so first off get
this
flathead out of the way here and
then
beneath it you want to go ahead and
pry
the little grounding that's upwards
and
the three flathead screws located
right
here right here and right here the
last
ones holding the launch port in
place
but first off do unplug this
connector
alright it's ready to be
pulled
up just like that there are the
brains
of your iPhone 7 Series hard
part's
over so now we just basically got
to
remove the battery and all of these
connectors
volume buttons replace those
and
the Lightning bit down here okay so
I've
transplanted that portion next
I
want to remove the battery this part
is
a little tricky but nothing you can't
do
especially now that all the
components
are out of the way it should
be
pretty easy basically peel back the
adhesive
strips holding the battery in
place
be very gentle not to pierce
lithium
battery definitely do not want
to
do that okay and I think I got it all
right
so this part is a little tricky
but
it's not too difficult basically you
want
to take one edge of the metal
brackets
remove it here and then one of
these
sides will pop up just like that
as
you can see I've loosened it and then
once
you pry it up then you pry it out
and
it comes out and reinstall it the
same
way for every single one in the new
shell
do make sure that the buttons are
cliquey
so that way you'll know you got
it
right they are working and with these
cables
reapplied let's go ahead and
reassemble
this thing the same way we DE
assembled
it so little time lapse for ya
really
too much footage to throw into
one
video but basically use the iFixit
guy
to throw everything back together
right
and just go ahead and power it on
to
check that everything is working and
it
is before you pop the display back in
alright
guys so we are golden everything
is
working on the front end and on the
back
look at that so we've got the
genuine
iPhone 10 look with a spin with
the
product red color so I gotta say
definitely
feels just like an iPhone 7
would
but it's got the premium glass
back
which actually feels pretty great
and
depending on which color you choose
you're
gonna get a different finish of
course
with the red I like so the flash
unit
is right there and the camera the
bottom
one does look a little bit funny
upon
closer inspection but the top one
fits
pretty well and overall it's a the
hardware
part of this bit is pretty dang
good
it feels great next to product red
iPhone
7 looks pretty good so it's a
nice
spin on your older iPhone but next
to
an actual iPhone 10 it looks pretty
dang
close the lenses as you can see
very
high quality on this aftermarket
shell
it looks really really good about
the
same as the official one I'd say
that
this is a success so far so that is
the
hardware parts really great so let's
go
ahead and take a look at the software
and
believe it or not it is entirely
possible
to get the whole iPhone 10
experience
on older iPhones including
the
iPhone 7
which
we have created to look like an
iPhone
10 so from the lock screen I'm
going
to go ahead and bring over a
certain
device that already has this
implemented
we are able to get these
same
features here we swipe up to unlock
of
course we can't reproduce face ID
without
the 3d module but close enough
we
can get a similar experience on lock
screen
at least to swipe up also our 3d
touch
toggles here like the flashlight
in
order to turn that on from there
really
easily the camera buttons right
there
really cool so that is possible
also
we do have the iPhone 10 status bar
up
here and when we slide from the top
right
as you can see the control center
is
activated as well super cool very
very
similar experience here has been
ported
entirely to my iPhone 7 it even
says
the carrier name on the lockscreen
but
if I go ahead and unlock this device
inside
you will see that changes to the
time
on the top left so here's where it
gets
really interesting the behavior or
the
gestures of the iPhone 10 are now
possible
on older iPhones using a swipe
up
and as you can see swipe up will
basically
go to the app switcher here
just
like it would on the iPhone 10
jumping
into an app if you swipe up
it'll
go home swipe to the right to
bring
up the last most recently used app
and
this is the iPhone 10 experience on
all
their iPhones you don't even need
that
home button anymore get used to not
even
using it ever again so I think it's
so
cool how you can reproduce it on
older
phones and it works perfectly now
there
are some things of course you
won't
get like the organic LED display
the
knotch
for
example but that's something I'm
sure
you will not miss overall though I
gotta
say it works absolutely well so
what
is it it's called fluidity and it's
only
available unfortunately for devices
on
this firmware so if you are on iOS 11
point
one point two eleven point one
point
one eleven point 1 or lower you
are
able to install it otherwise if
you're
on an eleven point to eleven
point
two point five you can't do it so
you
can get the half the experience with
the
show but not the entire UI of the
iPhone
ten which is unfortunate so if
you
guys are on that firmware you're
able
to get it and reproduce the iPhone
10
in its entirety so these two things
combined
to give you the ultimate iPhone
10
experience without having to spend
over
a thousand dollars
on
it so I just wanted to say guys
thanks
so much for watching this was
pretty
interesting for me because the
amount
of detail they put into this show
is
really quite great and I love how it
looks
like a product red iPhone on an
iPhone
that Apple would never release it
on
so I think that's a very nice touch
overall
though love the outcome of this
project
so thanks for watching guys just
another
iPhone mod I'm bringing to you
if
you want to grab one of these are
pretty
cheap like 40 50 bucks down below
in
the description hope I helped you if
