The story of transforming the iPhone XR into an iPhone 12 using the suspicious parts sold in China has been released. We strongly recommend that you do not imitate.
Case that makes the appearance iPhone 12
In China, “parts that make the appearance of an old iPhone look like the iPhone 12” were on sale even before the real iPhone 12 was released.
On the Chinese information blog Bāshíliù, the details of using the contents of the iPhone XR to make it look like the iPhone 12 have been published.
I prepared the iPhone XR, which was submerged and stuck, and the parts that made it look like an iPhone 12 purchased from Taobao, a major online shopping site in China.
Removed the display of iPhone XR, transplanted the set such as the board to the case like iPhone 12, then changed the SIM slot to one that can insert two physical SIMs, installed a non-genuine display and battery, and succeeded in operating That’s right.
In addition, although touch operation and Face ID work, it seems that the LED flash and volume button can no longer be used.
Surprisingly low quality
In addition, the iPhone 12 style is only the appearance and the strength is very low, just drop it on a wooden table from a height of about 5 cm, a big crack will occur in the glass back panel, the frame will be distorted, the display will come off, and it will be flexible It seems that the cable has been torn.
To say the least, it’s practically zero.
After removing all the parts transplanted from the iPhone XR from the case, I dropped the case from a height of 1.3 meters, and it was disastrous to see.
In addition, it seems that the Apple case did not crack.
Don’t imitate, absolutely!
If you disassemble your iPhone, not only will it not be covered by Apple’s warranty, but repairs will not be covered. If you make such modifications, it will be treated as a fake brand product and cannot be brought into Japan. If you sell it to someone, it’s a crime.
