When Apple care wont cover it, Hugh care will
Good apple care zuccs
ok
But Jeffery could of made it an iPhone 12 pro by just changing to a custom chassis
@@FrontierGD Don't Forget To Buy The HughCare+
@@Zahoodo Something like that exists ? Damn
This is heart, liver and kidney transplant surgery 😂😂
How about Pancreas?
And also a 🐱 transpalnt
No. It's eye surgery. Or maybe I should say iSurgery.
With complete skin graft.
🧠 too 😂
It seems to me that these devices were designed to be extremely difficult to repair. So thank you for proving that it can be done and for making Apple seethe. Mad respect!
the comparison for ease of repair between iphone and other brands is normally in the screen replacement. with iphone you take the screen off and transfer a couple things if not just one, with a samsung you have to take the back off and transfer everything he just did in the video just to fix a screen unless you have the tools to seperate the glass from the body of the phone. its rediculous
@@matthowe2703 not true. There's a video on Hugh's channel where he bought 2 identical iphones and tried to exchange some parts between them. Everything, including screen was software locked and lost half of it's functionality after the replacement.
@@brandulak my bad for not stating that with the 12 and 13 models that happens. i repair iphones almost daily and with the 11 and down changing the screen is no issue
The newer the iPhone the harder it is to repeat it meaning ppl are gonna have to buy new phones preferably iPhones making apple more money cause there scummy but have good products
Watching this taking place just gives me stress. I keep getting this feeling: what if you lose a screw?
There are bulks of screws and parts you’re able to buy in this case
easy answer: magnets.
Read this in your narrating voice lol
whatcha doin here salc1?
likely losing one screw like really affect much but that's why you have a tray to keep all your screws in place
The seller stopped responding because he was disappointed that the phone is still working.
🤣🤣🤣
Nah, Hugh said you have 48 hours to unlock it or I open an eBay case which is reasonable but not necessary in the first message! If the seller isn't responding or said I can't unlock it for you, you can say that, no problem.
@@samdarius3305 it was needed because the seller stated that the phone was removed from the icloud. But it wasn't. So in the instance he was perfectly in the right to do that because at that point the seller basically committed what is known as false advertisement.
@@Chrisp707- I see your point and for that reason, Hugh would've won that eBay case for sure! It's just that when you mention it in the first message, It puts a lot of unnecessary stress on the seller. Having a little patience is the right thing to do in my opinion, but if the seller isn't responding or can't help, That's the way to go!
She got embarrassed to tell that his man can't keep himself from bending and hitting $1k phones.
If Apple had their way, every individual screw in the iPhone would require a different screwdriver bit to remove.
And it would also be paired with the phone, making your phone not work anymore if you don't use an identical screw
@crap youtube special screws that are paired wirelessly to a special screwdriver, and only unlock when said screwdriver is detected nearby
@@hotyeahsus8343 and the wireless screwdriver would be paired to one of apples stores so it only works in that store
I wouldn’t put it past them 💀
@@graham1158 Mhm 💀😭
Epic repair dude, working on these phones is massively time consuming but so satisfying at the end. If this doesn't prove why right to repair needs more traction, nothing will.
I am totally in awe at your skill, patience, eyesight co-ordination and everything else it takes to complete this job! Thank you for filming this incredibly complicated procedure.
This phone is surely covered under "Apple Doesn't Care"
Apple really does not care if you are a psychopath who beats phones so hard that screens tear off
Frankly, no one expects that much damage to be covered by warranty.
They're like "We need money, you dumb fool"
Lol
doesn't care yet doesn't want people to replace the parts....what a company
Right to repair is a must !
@@greggoog7559 but apple thinks it is and has anti repair design in its new phones
@@tupsutumppu that’s honestly so annoying
@@shirosewayakikitsunenosenk3423 and it is not jusy annoying but also Costly
Amazing that you are doing this, kudos! You are one of the brave warriors fighting against a company's right to repair policy. Thank you for everything you're doing!
I love how you rebuild these things! You are talented!!
Wish my local eBay had such good deals...
Same. Only possible in Australia.
I wish I even had ebay
Same, there are too many repair shops in my country and even normal people who know how to repair tech.
No one sells or repairs broken phones where I live. Even if their broken they're priced at ~100Cad and would be too expensive to repair Edit: it would also cost a million dollars to ship anything here
@@sapkra the problem with Kleinanzeigen is that most sellers refuse to sell to another country. Or sometimes even to a proxy.
I love seeing destroyed/old things being resurrected so fun and interesting
ikr
Whenever my life takes unexpected turns, I watch repair videos like Jeffrey’s - he restores order after chaos and destruction. So soothing.
@@gern0tk hope you alright dude😢
Put it this way more of the planet has to be dug up and destroyed ( of various degrees depending on country and Jungle it is in ) to get the rare minerals needed for electronics . Thats why i don't buy new gear anymore
These videos remind me of the time I rebuilt a first gen PSP that was ragesmashed into bits...that bad boy still works! Great stuff as always, Hugh!
This was beautiful to watch. I wish there was a show about repairs like this.
These phones look like hell to repair because of the many different damn screws lol
Yea screws are a headache XD
Yeah they really are I tried fixing my old 6 and the screws were making me stressed cuz I was worried I was gonna mess up the screw placements
Actually you just need to keep track, it keeps you awake

Man, I love your videos. Keep up the great work.
It’s interesting how a trillion dollar company can’t repair this phone but a KZheadr with 700k subscribers can.
I still can’t imagine how someone just literally destroyed a $1000 piece of tech...
People just get careless
Not quite literally
@@muradmalik But this is just a year old... Idk about you but I wouldn’t be so careless that even The phone chassis gets destroyed,
i smashed my old Xs into the wall to a state that was more or less a dust, rendering it completely unrepairable, even the batter got on fire. As another fellow said: Anger issues :) i hope my 11pro has a better fate though.
@@hilal_younus you would be suprised at how hard everyday tasks can beat up phones.

Just finished removing back glass on an 8 plus. What a pain in the arse that was!
@@absolutely1337 yeah That’s a pain
@@owenspinks793 omg yes. Literally a pain. Burnt my fingers with a heat gun. Prob took 3 hours all said and done. Crazy that’s how Apple assembles these.
The black sticker over the apple logo on the rear housing is there to hide the apple logo from customs not to protect it.
Would customs take it or something?
@@Alex-qd6hk yeah and then the seller would be tracked down and legal action would be done against them for copying
@@salsaproductions6286 yes
@@Alex-qd6hk yea they seize counterfeit goods
Interesting
It is amazing how you can reassemble a phone from parts that you bought and put the phone back together simply amazing
Thank you Hugh, for changing the point of view (closer up). Now one can see the disassembly more detailed, which helps a lot of understanding the internals. Hope it doesn't count to much into the complexity of film making. Keep on going.
"Hope it doesn't count to much into the complexity of film making." Can you explain what you meant here dear?

You`ll never get the Truetone back anyways. Paired to the original hardware.
Just genius, no use to others but you turned them into something valuable! Bravo love it!
And this is why I watch your videos, they are fun and satisfying!!!!

Well done, Hugh Jeffreys for fixing the iPhone 11 Pro! Good job!
Best destroyed restoration, good job!
"it's dislodged the screen which is ripped off and is nowhere to be found" R.I.P. True Tone
What’s True Tone for anyway? I never understood this feature and why it’s so important for the screen to be original for it to work.
@@gern0tk True Tone matches the color temperature of the display to the environment around it
U can reprogram even whitout the original screen. I can told u how.
.
@@xvtybirestore3464 finally someone says this. All you need is the front facing camera. It houses all the necessary information.
I would really recommend that you get some new meshs with the glue already applied. A set only costs about 2$ and that way you can make sure the phone is at least somewhat waterproof.
@Ellis The DJ - It’s not a claim. It’s tested and rated to a certain depth for a certain time.
i love this kind of videos, it's a great skill to have. I've meddled with iPhone repairs before, but back in the 4s/6p days - this newer ones look daunting! such a shame about the software locks, back in the days you could slap in a chinese display and the only difference would be the quality itself, never had to worry about errors.
The only repair video that clearly explained things. I was able to follow along. Not repairing myself but like. It all made sense. Unlike some videos out there
Being a repairer myself i love your videos. hands down my favorite
*your
I feel a little sad for such a huge effort in salvaging a heavily damaged phone only to be hampered by hostility towards repair from Apple. Such an ahole company!
i honestly think there should be laws that don't allow software bound pairing, that you're forced to pay way more for the repair as when u want to do it by yourself.
They've been an ahole company doing the exact same things since before the first iPhone - albeit to a smaller degree originally. This is the natural place where we have ended up because their fanboys enjoy paying more for inferior products and defending anti-consumer practices while being reamed by Apple.
Well you could just take the phone to an authorized workshop and have it calibrated, that will make the phone all good. Except for the Face-ID
I agree with you but this is not exclusively an Apple thing. Samsung phones are harder to open and are just as bad to repair. All these companies are assholes
@@totalyrandomh2o okay and what happens when they tell you your parts aren’t genuine and in order to calibrate, they need you to pay for a battery and screen replacement to the tune of how ever many hundreds of dollars? Because that’s what they’re told to do by apple.
New Subscriber! I enjoy your IMac videos, and have several just sitting around. It gives me hope, watching your videos, that the memories and files are salvageable. Thank You.
Hi Hugh. I'm a fan from the Philippines. I always watch your videos and i find it relaxing while watching you restore or fix things.
imagine being able to find deals that are this good lol
“Real anger issues” killed me 😂😂
Hi Jeff thanks for all the info and videos, so after watching this as this is starting of a NEW HOBBY, I really enjoy doing this, want to service these, so even destroyed iphones are still fixable, thank you
It's so complicated, but it's so satisfying to watch the transformation from trash to somthing usable.. Thumps up
He probably bought Techrax’s phones
yeah lol
init 😃😃
Lol
You are the best!! Your determination to learn and fix things are flawless !! Excellent work !!
Excellent video informative and well detailed. You have definitely piqued my interest in my doing such a rebuild!
Profound transformation and great reiteration of present right-to-repair policies, always appreciate the education! Thank you for your work!
It's freaking 5 in the morning in India and I'm watching Hugh Jeffreys lol.
The dot projector can be replaced with only microsoldering
Very good work. And love your honesty.
i don't imagine i have enough patience even to do the voiceover...let alone doing the repair keep up the good work!
In 5 years iPhone’s screws will get so small that only Ant-Man will be able to fix this phones
Apple just killed 3rd Part Repar with iPhone 12
They will also pair the screws to the devices in a few years time. 😂
Marvelous transformation! I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you! Cheers!
This happened to my xr when i came off my motorbike, I bought a new screen to test it still worked (everything smashed and shell was bent similar to this one), I plugged in the screen to find it still working perfectly. I bought a new shell and spend 3 hours stripping it down and completely rebuilding it. After it looked brand new and worked perfectly too.
Amazing restoration. Congratulations 🙂😃. Thank you for your great video.🙂
“Had some real anger issues” I can send you my Dad’s iPhone 6, he hit with a hammer…
I- what?
Feeling stress? Hugh’s video will make you relax!
It actually does though
What a solid repair! I'll admit the screw-to-bracket ratio is not changed since iPhone 4... so ability to repair is still intimidating! Wonders if I should be so lucky to find diamond-in-the-rough project like Hugh 🥕✨💎
Amazing work!
That was an absolutely amazing transformation! Great repair video - if it wasn't for your repairs, that would have definitely become e-waste. Just a shame about the software locks...
Liked before even watching cause I know this be a banger
It’s like transferring your consciousness into a new body. Amazing.
More like transplanting your toenail on someone else's body. After a while I couldn't even notice what exactly did he buy for 25$? He changed basically everything.
@@brandulak if what you're saying is true.. that means an iPhone 11 costs around 350$ for manufacturing..! I don't agree with you on this! The device had mother board, RAM, processor, storage, screws, etc... He got it for only 25$ and made it into an almost brand-new iPhone11! Honestly, I can give 350$ for that...
Right, but unfortunately, Apple makes it so that the new body has some minor defects
@@brandulak the logic board stayed the same, meaning the phones "consciousness" stayed
Love your work!
Seeing the inside of this thing reminds me of a video I watched of VTuned rebuilding a McLaren. The entire time, I was thinking to myself, just throw this thing in the garbage... Impressive the amount of patience that Hugh has.
Yea. Vtuned’s build somehow feel easy after watching this
That is insane. How would someone break their phone that bad!?
It was probably in a "destroying iPhone" video
I think the heel of a stilletto could have done it.

With the sandwich board design it amazes me greatly how lucky you were to still have a working board with such damage. I have done a few close to this and most suffer from broken connections between the halves. All in all good to see yet another device live on from certain death 👌
they didn’t turn icloud off since they thought the phone was unfixable 💀
Lmao I bet it was a challenge and they just sold them for "scraps"
They thought nobody had a test screen
Your like a guru that magically makes phones like new again, always been a huge fan of yours Hugh, even started repairing phones myself 😍
Everyone who know how to fix tech know that Hugh is just a populist clown
@@straightwarlock5341 exactly
I really like to watch you repairing. I have a question for you, how did you organize all the screws takes off from the phone? When I do the repairing I always scare that I forget where to put it.
Always great and informative. How long did this one take to restore?
At least you saved 1 phone that goes in the landfill
Yeah Rescue a phone from getting scrapped
@@EliasSchmid00 yeah sad
Apple: HAHAHA, let's see Hugh fix THAT!! Hugh: I fixed it. Apple: **NANI?!**
I mean apple send this sort of stuff back to China land to be refurbed in foxconn. They can technically do it in the stores, just too time consuming.
@@0w3nn yeah, to get rid of those messages you need to be a highly skilled board tech. You need to transferred the ic from the display flex over to the new screen, that makes the non genuine display message go away, you would need to transfer the bms board and spot weld it to the nickel contacts under the polyamide tape to remove the battery message. And the dot projector seems to just need a new crystal.
This was a very nice and delicate video, enjoyed it a lot. Will try to purchase one and take it apart..
you are just so brilliant mate.
And here you have the long awaited collaboration between JRE and Hugh. 🤣
Check if the WiFi and Cellular work, as the sandwich board could easily be damaged with how severe of an impact that took.
Works fine :)
Hey Hugh, love your vids, mate just to confirm, there is no way to remove the battery message? Have you looked into transferring the battery logic board and spot welding at all? If so, can you offer advice or provide a video on it?
Magnificent ! What a job !
Hugh, you should get into micro soldering because that way you would be able to then get rid of the "Non-Genuine Display Message"
How?
no he wouldn't. you would have to have the chip off the original screen which was missing
@@carsonwilliams5223 that's what I'm thought
@@carsonwilliams5223 Yeah you wouldn't be able to do it in this scenario but in future repairs it could be a possibility.
When the iPhone 11 pro died *the iPhone says I’m getting repair and I wanna get smashed again*
So satisfying watching you!
Amazing repair but resourcing the parts is even more amazing.
How the hell does someone let their phone get nuked like that i need to know.
Fell outta their pocket while on a bike ride 🤷🏾♂️
@@isaiahanderson7237 if a phone looks like that just because it fell out of your pocket while riding a bike the phone is really miserable. 😂
Ragequit
Must've thrown it out at the top of some building and then got ran over by a truck.
@@David-hm3lx apple go brrr
Jesus, did they run over those with a tank? Wow
Hey Hugh! you can get rid of battery warning message by simply replacing battery vmr chip of the orignal battery into the replacement one by removing the insulation tape and cutting of the chip but you have to be careful not to bend the flux cables. You do need micro welding machine to weld it to the replacement battery... I know it's tricky n long shot but I would love to see you doing this experiment in your next video.
With all the screws and parts laid out perfectly I can only imagine a cat jumping up on the table. Good video.
Amazing repair as always. But I have one question for you. I have seen many people copy the screen serial from the old screen to the new screen in order to preserve true tone functionality. In cases where the display is badly damaged, you can still use 3utools to get all the serial numbers of each iphone part including the screen's. Why diddn't you try doing that for the screen or any of the other parts that were not working like face id? Please reply :)
As a phone repair technician myself he’s done amazing job but you don’t need the old phone’s screen all the time for you to get the true tone you can use software to get it as long as the phone is connected to it but overall amazing referb job must admit
This video just made me a subscriber.. This makes no financial sense, the parts end up costing more buying a used phone in decent condition, but I have to admire the effort of restoring this phone!!
THATS why they make it artificially hard to repair them...
