What Parts do You Need to Make Your Own iPhone?



What are all the different parts you need to build your own iPhone 7? Sure, the main parts you need are a logic board, screen, battery, and case, but what about the rest? Tons of you guys emailed, messaged, and left comments asking me, so I finally sat down and went through an iPhone part by part.

  1. What parts are swappable between iPhone 6, 6s, 7? if you're trying to build a working phone from old broken phones.

    (mainly the screens I'm curious about; have an iPhone 7 with a broken screen, a 6s with a working screen but no backlight, and a 6 just for extra spare parts..)

  2. I think the biggest Problem of trying to build DIY phones and maybe reselling them is, that you probably wont have the imei numbers fit together like on the case and in the phone settings. So like me for example, i tried to buy and build a galaxy s5, it all went mostly perfect, except of the mei sticker and number inside the phone. you cant sell them legal if they dont have this fit of imei together i think, isnt it like this??
    Please let me know how you guys went along with this problem if you had it also.

  3. Hi!
    In order to make a working phone can I use different parts that belong to different devices (excluding the Logic. board and home button) ? Thanks in advcd
