Building a Gold & Diamond iPhone 12 Pro Max - Most Luxurious iPhone Ever. 

Loving the budget builds!

Apple: We'll pair the housing to the circuit board in the next model.

While watching, I always imagine someone from appl watching these video intently and taking notes about the next thing to lockdown or make hard to replace. Grt vid

*Damn! A car restoration video looked more simple than this. You have nerves of steel mate. Kudos to you.*

I am amazed how much more complex they were able to make the teardown process when compared to earlier models.

Imagine Hugh takes a lunch break and a cat jumps up on his magnetic mat and plays with all the parts. Awesome video sir.

My friend, I admire your skills, and most of all, your patience, with all due respect.

It's satisfying to see you repair all these phones. I wish I had your knowledge on the field, never would I buy anything new. I can't imagine how proud you must be after each repair. Good work mate 👍🏾

Your knowledge and patience are very impressive!! So many opportunities for mistakes and you dodged them all.

Imo the phone looked more expensive and elegant in its stock configuration, the excessive gold and diamonds look tacky and extremely cheap.

17:23 Manufactured diamond and cubic zirconia _are not_ the same thing, the mined diamond industry just wants you to think that. Cubic zirconia is its own gemstone, made of crystalline zirconium dioxide, while manufactured diamond is crystalline carbon - in other words, _chemically identical_ to mined diamond in every way save for potential contaminants and/or inclusions.

I watch his videos for its therapeutic effect. The voice over is soothing that it makes me fall asleep faster.

Awesome stuff Hugh!❤️

Finally an iPhone 12 pro max mod

This build has huge disadvantages 1. Apple repairability 2. Everybody will want to steal your phone 3. Why the hell do you want that

This is so satisfying tbh, despite the housing making the phone look cheap. The lightshow in the end is absolutely amazing.

Nice project - though that took a lot of time and patience! It looks like these iPhones are needlessly overcomplicated to repair and disassemble. I also wonder if 3G/4G/5G signal strength has also been impacted by that metal back...

Hugh straight up called us all poor

Amazing Hugh Keep it up you’ve inspired me so much!

Now this is just insane! Keep up the great builds

We'll laugh at this when Apple starts pairing the phones body to the motherboard.

Perfect outro mate! That’s was the cinematic view of the Gold Housing! Love it though!

8:55 you are a very patient man.

So if that is not the Caviar product itself then what is it? Either way. Although I don't fancy these types of looks on a phone, I must admit that the whole process was enjoyable to watch. Keep it up mate.

Hi guys welcome to another Hugh Jeffrey's video. Gotta love it :)

Different screws with different screw heads have different torx pressure. I can only assume they use Phillips around the housing because there’s more of a solid base behind it so more you can exert more force for tightening whereas more fragile components can’t have this so the tri wing head allows for less pressure and more of a ‘holding into place’ instead of tightening into place if that makes sense?

hey Hugh Jeffreys you are the best restorer ever and the best youtuber ever

Amazing ending!!!!!

The real luxury is inside the gorgeous design and architecture of components

I like that design not for its gold or the diamonds, but the fact that it just has its cameras protruding without a square

Apple: brings out iPhone. 14 Hugh: "hi guys welcome back to another Hugh Jeffreys video today we will be restoring the new iPhone 14"

Awesome video loved this one 👍

I enjoy your videos Hugh, and the amount of patience you exhibit is saintly! Not to mention your knowledge and skills. Question: Are the majority of these repairs/upgrades a one-day project, or do most/many take multiple days to complete? Thanks so much for sharing your videos with us. God bless, and cheers from Kansas. Rev. D.

Gilded products always look tacky. Also me: Considered buying golden iPad. It would be cool if Vertu made housings with brushed metal and leather for iPhones 🤑

ah my god it looks so fancy and decadent, I love it!

At least they were cubic zirconias, and not plastic. Looks awesome Hugh 👌

It looks amazing!!! (if you turn off the lights)

Love the gold build iphones

Hey Hugh Jeffreys I watching you make custom iPhone's that gold custom iPhone looks really cool I would love too try too do that on one my iPhone's that I have but I don't have the stuff too do it with.

I love how clean the camera array looks now without the acrylic square

I can’t see me running out and getting this conversion. But it’s great to see what it takes to do a complete change.

What a stunning look to the iPhone good job Hugh ☺️

Bloody beautiful, mate. I'd say the total spend is more than reasonable when you factor in how much they cost when new

Hands of a surgeon

Love his videos So satisfing when it's done

WoW a work of a magician, what thoroughness, WoW thank you for sharing this video

You are the best. I shared this video with everyone I know. You deserve a lot of fancy tech.

It looks so difficult just looking at it . You are doing great my buddy .😊

Great content I would like to see more videos like this

I love all is custom builds

Sunday and a Hugh Jeffrey’s video

Love these iPhone videos I’m watching them every sunday

Mate your nearly at 1 million subs .. keep up the great work 🤟🏼

I would love to see metal back, normal one, so after dropping it, it won't be breaking.

1:26 “unscrew the two phillips screws” i was like hold up apple wouldnt change that

Great housing swap there

Great video. It was only when I changed the battery in my own phone (inspired by this channel) that I got to see just how small everything is.

Don't forget that crunch

I still don't see how you can remember where all those tiny pieces and screws go back. I can barely do a battery and screen repair. This is amazing.

wow that looks amazing

This video’s gonna blow up. Mark my words.

This is so pretty

Simple Awesome ✌️ ✌️ ✌️ you are a super talented human being 💐🙏

Im working to get to your level you make it look so easy

Understandable

Amazing and expensive

Those b-roll shots are on point

I love this even if it's only to undercut the atrocious "luxury" phone industry. These products are beyond overpriced, hideously over-designed, and only attract the most fake kind of person.

Incredible video Hugh! My guess would be Apple makes the process of disassembly extremely difficult to prevent the masses from repairs themselves.

Speaking out of experience, the fake gold housing will have all the "gold" rubbed off within 6 months making it look really terrible. Those housings all seem to do that after some heavy use. Ever since iphone 4 they have been making these "24ct gold" housings.

I gave you a thumbs up a great video but I hated the case I thought it looked tacky lol but many thanks for yet another great video to watch!

Bling ✨ Bling ✨

bruh this is a nightmare. ive done iphones 6 to 12 and the latest is by far the most time consuming. I genuinly admire your patience.

It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if Apple discovers a way to physically destroy parts if you try to remove them from their phones.

Goodluck restoring it.

Talented dude

8:50 So many parts to be replaced and needs to be put back together for hours!

what will happen if you plug in the spare face id while the Iphone is still on is will you still get the exact same error

Now that’s cool!

You did great work. I do not like gold but this is a keeper.

now these are the videos that i love keep up the good work

1:25 wait philip screws, I thought they would use pentalobe.

Yeah, that's subtle.

Can you Do a custom gold plated samsung or android

Hi Hug l been always waiting for your new vid i love all your videos and always like

Dankpods + Hugh Jeffreys collab PLEASE

Thats a special iPhone the first 2 screws are Phillips wow😅

Love your work! It's probably just pareidolia, but I swear I see a face in the LED flash during the beginning of the video at 16 seconds or so!!

Caviar could learn a thing or two from you Hugh! 😉👍🏻

I know you have more items than you have on your site. As far as buying something from your site goes, the last two phones I bought were more affordable. I got a Samsung Galaxy s20 FE 5G for $100 new, still sealed in the box and a Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra 5G, used, with a shattered glass back for $50 and a replacement back glass for $26 making it a $76 used phone. After watching your repair videos I felt confident in replacing the back glass myself. Now it's a limited edition (by repair) Black Chrome s21 Ultra 5G. And nobody trying to take it from me can prove it isn't mine simply because mine's the only Black Chrome in existence. At least until someone else follows suit.

If just like to point out that you said Phillip's screw not pentelpople screw at the start of the video but at the end you got it right. Just wanted to point that out, awesome vid as allways and looking forwards to next Saturdays upload

I don’t even fix phones but I love your videos

So Could you Converter to USB Lighting to type-c iPhone

This was so satisfying to watch

Where do you find/buy those custom phone housings. When i search for it, i only find replacement parts like screens. And shipping to germany would be nice. Nice job on those builds👌🏼I watched every one of them😬

Wow it’s beautiful! Question…how long does it really take you to restore a phone? I’m sure it’s not something you do in an hour. Right?

12 pro max, s8 blue 7+ and the purple 4s

Nice one again.

I'm very glad Apple isn't using those one-way screws where it's stripped on the counter-clockwise direction, making it nearly impossible to remove.
