I took the flash memory chips from a broken iPhone 6 and turned it into a working USB flash drive in the electronics markets in Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen, China. I ran across the bare circuit board to do this during my previous iPhone storage upgrade video, and I just had to try it.

i think it possible, just need to copy the memory chip from working phone like past video and paste to the new memory if the flash drive use the same code memory with the phone and solder back. **if the flash driver memory still working.

Not everything is sunshine and rainbows, you kind of have to take the good with the bad when it comes to peoples subjective opinions. Merely talking about the bad does not equate to talking down. Omitting criticism for some cultures is demeaning to the people of that culture, whereas criticism is the norm among peers. To ignore the bad is to forgo change in spite of all that which is good.

@SeanAlcorn 6 лет назад

It's sadly not possible to seperate the glas on the touch id chip without breaking it.. So a custom apple shaped glas piece can not be stuck on to the bare touch id chip. But you can (if you are good with micro soldering) cut the flex cable and extend it to the back or find the right male and female plug to make your own extension cable to manouver it to the back side.
