Good job, I hope you're able to miniaturize your circuit. It would be amazing if third parties started selling flex cables with USB C already swapped in instead of lightning, and then you'd just need a custom chassis.

This is super high quality work, very interested in seeing the next video. This would be prohibitively expensive I’m sure, but would it have been possible to salvage the charging port module from a usb c iPad and work that into the iPhone?

@ExploringTheSimulation

3 жыл бұрын

Great question thank you. I thought about this when I first started the project but decided not to choose this path for two reasons. 1. The parts were just not available easily at the time 2. I don't believe it would actually have helped in this case as the operating system on the iPad is most likely capable of using the USB protocol natively whereas the iPhone uses the Lightning protocol. This would have probably required a software mod that completely changes the scope of the project. Here we reverse engineer the circuit on the C94 board to do the Lightning - USB conversion for us without having to study it in detail.

nice work :)

Nice video bro. ❤️

Amazing ! What is the watch you are wearing in the video ?

Good work Kenny Pi, I would suggest you partner with third party manufactures and sell this for those who won't mind the warning messages from our friends for the benefits that will be gained with usb type C. Am here to see the success of this project.

@@BlakeTedKord Because it's faster than AirDrop and more convenient than a cable. Plus, plenty of people use micro SD cards to expand their phone's storage and not necessarily to make file transfers to other devices. That's probably why iPhones have never supported micro SD cards, because Apple wants people to pay more for an iPhone with more storage than let them pay less for the base model then just pay like $20 for an extra 128GB of storage.

Hey friend, these Apple cables are really built like tank but you can use some heat from the hot air station after removing the upper layer of it.

You could do a case wich has a lightining plug inside, and a usb-c plug outside. It wouldnt require opening the phone, and would be easy to anyone to use it, without any soldering or messing inside the phone. And it would be probably commercially viable, even more if apple actually switchesd to usb c in newer iphones

Omg YES I knew it was possible it just took someone to do it

bravo

Can you just use iPad Pro USB C connector and reverse engineerings to work with Iphone ? Won't it be much simpler ?

Bro what about the charging duration? Does it change?

well what’s the purpose of it, in any case the whole lightning connector is nothing else than a usb 2 port so in terms of charging maybe it would help but data transfer still bad, i’m not sure that the chip is just a protocol adapter or is the actual usb2 chip , is worth to check i guess

Looking forward for the same cable replacement for airpods case. It's a lot free space in it and also it does not require data transfer
