Although Apple’s latest iPhone 13 series is widely regarded as a solid flagship for the price, the phone still has several compromises for its price, such as its legacy Lightning port, the absence of Touch ID, the missing 3.5mm headphone jack and its hideous notch in the middle of the display. 

But as people say “If you want a thing, you gotta do it yourself”, and this Chinese DIY Electronics Youtuber, Aio Technology, has taken the motto to the next level, as he has created himself the fully-functioning “New iPhone” that has a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a pop-up selfie camera, Touch ID and most importantly of all, no notch!

What makes this achievement more astounding is that the “New iPhone” that he had created features the same Apple A15 Bionic SoC with 5G connectivity found on the iPhone 13 series, so you are not sacrificing performance at all when using the device.

Let’s start with how he made this iPhone. The creator said that to make this “New iPhone”, he had to buy the latest generation of the iPhone SE (2022) which was equipped with the 4.7-inch display and 5G processor that he needed for this project. Indirectly, the iPhone SE 3rd Generation featured the Apple A15 Bionic processor paired with the 4GB RAM, which allowed the device to easily power through daily tasks with no stutters at all.

As for the design of this “New iPhone”, to fully make use of the screen, the creator made a rectangular aluminium casing with minimal bezels for the LCD display panel to fit in. In pursuit of the truly bezel-less iPhone, the “New iPhone” features a flat-screen non-curved display that has top, left and right side bezels almost as thin as 1mm.

However, he didn’t stop there, he wanted this “New iPhone” project to go even further. Since there was no more space left on the home screen for Touch ID, the creator decided to embed the fingerprint sensor into the side-mounted power button.

And since there was no room for the front-facing selfie camera as well, the mad lad had even created a dedicated pop-up motor mechanism as well just to house the selfie camera!

Taking the dream a step further, since he also wanted a no-compromise iPhone, he had swapped out the iPhone SE 3’s battery for the larger capacity one on the iPhone X, and the lightning port for a USB-C port. Despite all the modifications above, the man still managed to find space left to fit a 3.5mm headphone jack and wireless charging into the “new iPhone”.

The end product of this project is truly nothing short of extraordinary, as not only this 4.7-inch bezel-less “New iPhone” is smaller than the iPhone 13 Mini, it features the long-gone headphone jack, USB-C port, and even a larger battery than on the iPhone SE 3rd Generation (2022).

Unfortunately, this “New iPhone” is not available for sale and probably won’t ever reach the market. However, there have been recent rumours of Apple implementing USB-C in its next iPhone 14 series like the iPad Air 4 (2020) and iPad Mini 5 (2021).

Apple‘s sales have seen a recent dip, but it seems the company is optimistic that sales will stabilize soon. Apple suppliers are currently planning to produce parts for up to 75 million iPhones for the second half of the year. This is equal to last year’s amount, which means they’re probably expecting sales to stabilize soon enough.

Now, it’s important to note that while they may be planning for 75 million units, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll manage to sell that many. It does however mean that Apple expects to sell close to that amount. Whether their confidence is misplaced or not remains to be seen, though it’s fully possible considering it’s a brand new launch.

Apple has recently stopped publicly reporting unit sales of iPhones and other products in its quarterly earnings releases, making it more difficult for analysts and others to track those numbers over time and requiring them to calculate unit sales based on reported revenue numbers and estimated average prices.

If you’ve been on the internet as of late, there’s a high chance you’ve seen renders for the new iPhone. Now personally I’m not a big fan of the new design, but there’s no doubt in my mind that it’ll still do well. The big question is, how well will it do in the currently more competitive market? We’ll have to wait and see.
