American YouTubers Matthew Perkins and Arun Maini are making a 2-meter-tall, 200-kg iPhone 15 Pro.
To do this, they used an 88-inch LG TV, which they converted into a touch screen.
The bloggers then made the case, using an aluminum frame as a base. They added working buttons, a speaker, and three cameras.
The cameras used were Canon EOS R5 and Sony RX10 Mark 4 to simulate telephoto lenses.
The only component they couldn’t copy was iOS, because it was closed source, so the bloggers decided to use Android with an iOS-style launcher.
As a result, they got a working phone that can take photos, send emails, run any applications and make video calls. The entire project cost $70 thousand or 6.3 million rubles. [Engadget]
