Great video, but this should probably have a 2017 in the title.

I think he later on added a headphone jack to the same phone i built in this video. It was just after all the brouhaha about Apple / Samsung et al removing it.

Another cool episode is where he upgrades a 16GB iPhone to 128GB by soldering a larger flash chip onto the board:

How did they download iOS on to the phone. Is it pre-embedded in the motherboard

They bought a used board that came out of a working iPhone.

Maybe Gibson missed the mark in setting Neuromancer in Chiba City?

To be fair to Gibson, the Shemzhen SEZ had just about been started when he wrote Neuromancer. As I understand it Japan at that time had an underground electronics scene in Tokyo - though of course nothing to the scale of Huaqiangbei.

I wonder if the market is still functional post Covid. Been a few years since i visited it. Definitely one of the wonders of the post modern world.

I think it's remarkable that all those parts and sophisticated procedures/repairs are available in local markets.
