I imagined a possible scene of a movie. A family assaulted at home, robbers took down all phone lines and all smartphones from the family. And someone managed to escape and grabbed that portrait and started to assemble the iPhone to dial 911.

I'd pay someone to do this to to my older devices.

My dad still uses this phone daily, I put a new battery in, works fine. He likes it mainly because of the headphone jack.

Looks similar to the Grid displays so idk if you could sell them without walking on that territory (lots of tech YouTubers peddle the brand) - nice job tho!

The 6S was one of my favorites, I had mine in Space Grey. I ended up giving it to my Great-Grandmother and she used it until she passed away. I wish I could’ve gotten ahold of it again when she passed, had it set up exactly how she wanted it.

Cringey AF in any building other than an Apple office.

Battery is dangerous to be in there and should be replaced with a mock one.

Just stop it. These are not interesting.

I would get rid of the battery or replace it with a fake. I have an old iPhone 3GS that was basically sitting around for many years at zero charge and was kind of confused to find the Otterbox case popping open when I dug it up one day. Opened up the Otterbox to find the rear of it had swelled considerably. It's not like it spontaneously combusted on me or anything, and it's still fine, but since you're framing this and it could fall down randomly or something when the battery is old and maybe swells, I wouldn't take the risk.

Nice! One of the better ones I've seen.

This is me being too critical but right-aligning a bullet list is a bit of a no no.

I love this. Also people saying this is uninteresting/cringe, suck your mom. This is interesting, you’re just fucking boring. Take your smooth brains somewhere else. 🖕🏼

OP’s is likely mostly real components at least.

I can’t say about all of Grid’s products, but I got their Gameboy and multiple components were way too perfect and clean (including the case) to be 30+ years old.

A couple of my components seem real (the buttons specifically). It feels like they substitute whatever they don’t have with remakes. If so, I’m fine with that. I like their design. I just wish they were open about it if true.

Now re OP: I’m with you.

I was expecting a cool 3D frame type of thing holding each individual part in series

When mine finally bites the dust I plan on doing something like this. We still use it daily as an office phone for running apps.

This was the first phone I purchased while working for Apple, and the most memorable launch!

I did make my own. The phone in the frame is my sisters iPhone 6s that died one day last year. I kept it for a while with the intent of making this kind of thing. Then when my dad bought an ifixit kit to replace his MacBook battery, I used the tools from it to tear down the phone. I then bought a frame from The Range. I designed the template using open office draw as it used centimetres for sizes. The font is apples own font, and I printed the template on card at a local shop that has a good printer in it.

I'm not sure about starting a business, but I am thinking of making more of them. I have an iPhone 7 that died after my sister threw it down the stairs that i am going to do this with, I just need the tri-point screwdriver to deal with those pesky uncommmon screws inside the phone. I might buy some from ebay aswell

Sounds like a strange film scene, could be an advert for one of the companies that make and sell these frames professionally like GRID or Xreart. Though some components have been cut off from the flex cables, but still a interesting thought.

Is that a prop battery? Probably not safe mounting an actual Lithium ion battery like that

Given how horribly raped the earth is about to get over the next decade or so due to the push to save car companies with electric cars, a few people out there putting iPhones on their wall isn’t going to make a pinch of shit of difference. Let the person enjoy his little project. The earth will be dead either way.

Yeah, everyone saying this has got us here.

“Given how horribly raped the earth, me doing XYZ isn’t going to make a pinch of shit of difference.”

I was merely giving my opinion, i am sure OP is not going to spring into action and toss their project into recycling :)
