He’s back: making Apple products better than Apple
We have seen Scott Allen from Strange Parts first build his own iPhone, then bringing back the headphone jack to the iPhone 7 to then upgrade the internal memory by about 800%. I felt that he had taken it as far as he could – I was wrong.
Wireless charging is not a new phenomenon outside of the Cupertino company’s products, but when it comes to Apple’s own products, there are wires and wires everywhere.
Scott came across a kit which promises to give his iPhone wireless charging capabilities – all that it took was some tinkering and head-scratching.
As you might remember, Scott likes to make his videos as comprehensive as possible, so if you have about 30+ minutes to spare, click on the video above and see how it is all done.
More about Scott you can find at Strange Parts.
