Wow. I just realized that this man gets to restore iPhones, Build a massive collection, and make money by filming what he likes to do. That’s an awesome job.
Ikr
Very smart
Stephen Turner
Yeah. The ultimate job.
He resells them as refurbished
@@singhsahab6775 he makes more money from them then
You got 256GB instead of 64GB? Send it back. It was a scam.
I think the phone is stolen
256 is way more storage than 64

Yes, it's 4am
No, I don't have an iPhone
Yes, I watched this whole video
No, I can't sleep
Yes same. I wander around youtube then I came here
Ikr 😂😂😂
Michael Thackray fuck me too its 3:40 am lol
Same. Except its 4PM.
Really ? 4:03 am while typing, just wow, guess I am not alone..
“Very difficult to do, it took me 10-15 minutes”
Wow it will take me 3 years 😂
Even with a strait up diagram with each screw numbered... I’d have trouble replacing all those my god. Some of these dudes make it look super easy. Hugh is one of them lol.
@@Errcyco repairing thing is pretty enjoyable.
@@Errcyco dude he has a table which has the names of the screws and the screw that fits into the phone will go :)
Apple: We'll make iPhones in such a way that they can't be repaired.
Hugh: Hold my beer.
@John Mondovi Go catch a trout buddy nobody cares about your opinion
Haha... Lets challenge hugh to repair iphone 8 or newer cracked back cover without changing full housing 😑
아미 Pyel Apple actually makes iPhones so easy to repair.
Hold my tools *
CallMeFrankT. the glass is curve so it's very hard to repair
Hugh: It's really hard to remove the back glass.
Jerry: Hold my pry tool.
Check the new video at Jerry channel 😂
Ahmed Alsarraf the laser one? 😂 lmao
His name is Zack not Jerry
༷ no, jerry rig is a common saying, it’s not his name
Hey Jeffrey. I repaired my own phone for the first time, thanks to your videos. You’ve saved me 200€! Cheers man.
Me: oh shit , the temper glass broke.. it's the end of my phone
This man: oKay , this whole phone is ruined BUT...this is not the end..
RAJ K GUPTA
Me: My battery is not doing that going anymore I should get a new one.
This absolute madman: Right guys the volume down button still works so we’re good it’s not completely broken
At least the logic board isn't broken
tang jing you true
@@gasketsnotyetblown9467 literally, have u tried replacing a power button or volume button in a phone??!!!!! You don't know how much hard work or effort is needed to replace those. So shut up.
@@therobloxianstar4689 Yeah I've done it before it's not that hard lol
It is great feeling when you decide to fix your own device by yourself. As you said, most people will see all those screws and just give up, but in general it is not so hard.
I have disassembled more than 150-200 laptops so far. I successfully performed all kinds of parts replacements, including cleaning and replacement of thermal past and I never came across some issue that I could not fix.
Having required tools for the job is most important which is not expensive to have.
Also keeping track of every step is very important so that it does not happen that you assemble the unit and you find out that you forgot to attach a webcam flat cable or fan to the motherboard... I'm using old fashion notepad and I create sketches of every stage during the disassembling and later I follow all steps in reverse
I have attempted to change screens on iPhones, however they occasionally do not work. I have looked into this and found it may be static electricity in the connectors. Any tips on how to stop that?
@@generalphoney6237 may be connect the lcd and the ground through your body, it may work
i agree
it felt Cool to open my IPod 4 ( and puncturing the battery and almost die from toxic fumes )
and it was cool seeing what runs my 2007 macbook
Wow. Dude you should work on a Nintendo Switch. I don’t know how hard those are to repair but man you can do magic
they're not as difficult as an iPhone 8, so I second this
2 reply’s only okay...
Tendo switch is easier than this fucking iphone 8.
I know switch ins easy but it would be cool to expand from iPhones
Adam S yeah it’s just a bunch a huge parts
When he said „its actually not too difficult“ I almost spit my beer.
With tools, it is not too difficult. It takes a long time though and you really have to be careful, so you don’t accidentally cut cables or lose things like screws. It probably takes him like 2 hours to fix this phone.
Thanks Hugh I used this video when I did this repair the other night took me a few hours but I managed to completely replace everything with only breaking the silent switch on the side. In the end it was a win ended up with a completely restored iPhone 8
okey, a 256gigs iphone 8 for $300? nice
Did u see how that thing looks?
David Mentalist yes but you can repair it
@@appleworld6546 yeah if your name is Hugh
Okay*
Apple World not with cheep costs
It’s amazing how people can neglect their devices. Thank you Hugh for restoring such a marvel of technology!
Your repair video outcomes are truly magnificent.
Zacks long lost brother 😂
Get hugh to repair a durability test?
Love how he talking like a tutorial like we are going to do it like come on you lost me at 0:05
Ophelia_ Wood okay but like why tf is this so funny tf?
Black butler Lover she never said it was?
Nah, some of us actually repair our own phones. I would've loved to have watched this tutorial before I attempted to repair my iPhone 6 screen which was a big pain in the ass, but fun nonetheless.
John RG sis I was saying their comment was funny mind your own business
@@blackbutlerlover6054 fuck off
If it were me, by the time i finished my repair i would be richer by many extra screws and strange-looking-not-fitting-anywhere parts
Xy Z haha 😂 same
Those are just spare parts, u know
Xy Z why are there so many left over parts....
*stonks*
@@johngardiner8847 Apple adds the extra parts so the process of repairing the iPhone seems more difficult than it actually is so, it dieters people from repairing their phones and pushes them to buy a new iPhone instead.
You make it look too easy. And I gotta give you a lot of kudos for calling Apple out for making products that by and large cannot be repaired at home, usually resulting in more e-waste and yet another inevitable Apple purchase for some hapless civilian. There is so much talk of waste, and Apple positions themselves as sort of an eco-conscious, liberal company. Yet, look at how much they contribute to waste!
Why did you called Apple a liberal company, you could've just said that it's a company that believes in by being an eco friendly company but there just doing e-waste anyways so I'm not sure If your trying to be political on this
@@robertleclair5336 Don't forget that Cook is a deviate.

6:17 THANK YOU for showing us how you disassembled the phone! Nobody shows the part of where everything goes once the phone is taken apart
IOS 10.3.3 for the iPhone 5s just got signed by Apple.
UPDATE: The SHSH blobs are empty and therefore don't work!
Thanks for the info. My friend just downgraded his 5s
Mine is already on 10.3.3 😂
@@nobrickzkickz2747 Did it work? Some people are having issues restoring it
@@HughJeffreys it works perfectly (for now at least)
Hugh Jeffreys I would but I don’t want to lose all my data because I use a 5s every day as I don’t have a better phone and I am not allowed to upgrade
Watching your repairs is so addictive! Great narration as always!
why have i binged a bunch of episodes??? i have no idea but im hooked
the red back and black front looks better than the one with the white front.
Edit: I know that the red iPhone 7 only came with a white front and the red iPhone 8 only came with a black front. I was referring to the design of the phones. Black on red on any phone looks better than white on red.
The iPhone 8 in red has always had a black front though, it’s the iPhone 7 in red that had a white one
you're really not an apple fan if you have not understood the fact that iPhone 8 had the black front and 7 had the white front. change your name and profile picture u disgrace.
Sharughan smh I was talking about the design
Sharughan is that much hate necessary?
True!!
Android user, not a fan of Apple. But love watching your vids, quite interesting to see the mechanics to it.
Doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of Apple or not. Just compliment him without going back on your statement.
why do u feel the need to say u hate apple?
Other way round for me not a huge fan of android but I am an iPhone user
@@danandlaundry Agreed. Android sucks for creative applications like music and video. Bit like Windows in that regard. There's a good reason why the vast majority of creatives use Macs and iOS devices. They are just the right tools for the job, simple as that.
Jon Vincent They’re both good, it just depends on what Android you get.
One of my few favourite CZcams channels. Great content, great creator.
Why am I so refreshed while fixing that iPhone?😌 the way he explained every parts he connects, it seems very easy.
It was really satisfying experience to watch this restore, you have awesome precision and patience bro
That's amazing! If you start an iPhone repair company, I'll definitely send my broken phone to you!!!!
TRUEE
Search up louis rossman
Red &white looks much better. Really informative videos. Well done HUGH. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Im exactly 23 mins from Frankston! Im knew to the channel and Im enjoying it.
Wow. Great job Hugh. That black on red looks very sharp!!!
Great job! I’m so glad that you put in all this effort not only in the repairs of the device but in the quality of your video too. Keep it up! ✌️
I prefer the aluminium red but it’d be better with a black display.
Watching your iPhone 12 tear down recently along with your old iPhone tear down videos, seeing you warn your audience from “anti” repair to you finally seeing the anti repair process was interesting because they finally did it, especially given how much they make in services
It’s very impressive!
It looks so easy but it’s also is so complicated.
Def red and and black display on iPhone 8...I have the iPhone 8 Plus Product Red myself and I love this phone!! Great vid btw and you have a new sub!!!
Hey Hugh what a great channel you have so interesting especially for people like myself who can only wish was able to to something with modern gadgets. I love the outcome to smashed apple gadgets. Great 👍🏻 thank you for sharing.
And I thought it was hard to unscrew ONE screw
DANGET!
Wow Awesome restoration 👌 Red black looks stunning 👍
yesss ive been looking forward to this video! ;)
love the red and black Hugh, works very well
Hi Hugh thank you so much for your great video
If someone was to break in to an Apple store, they shouldn't steal the iPhones, iPads and Macs, but rather the machine used to re-program iPhone parts
:moai:
That was so satisfying to watch. Great job. :)
Amazing video - the skill level to make the phone new again is insane. And the production quality deserves a mention.
Also insane are the prices of Apple products. I can pick up a brand new Pocophone F1 128GB for approx AUD 400 where I live.
I know your not going to see this but you inspired me to start working on phones and yesterday I did my first housing swap with an iphone xr and I have to say I would have never fixed phones or would have thought it was possible without you.
God I love your Repaire videos. Perfect thing to watch before bed. Knowing technology is looked after. So many broken stuff out there and left aside 😭
My mum got a Project Red iPhone 8 & managed to drop it. Luckily, it only dinged a corner.
And I’m glad I’m not the only one who applies rear protectors to their phones.
Rear protectors? You mean
C A S ES?
That thing looks brand new when you finished repairing it. I cant even tell that the phone was broken before. Good job! And I have a question. What do you do with the iPhones when you finish repairing them? Display them on a shelf?
He probably uses it as a daily driver.
He puts the phone’s in a collection and then shows it near the end of year.
Yamaha ZumaMike probably wouldn’t be making much profit considering the time spent repairing and the new tools
He sells them on Ebay what do you think he does?
hellboyy2001 I just said what I think he does.
Your videos are very soothing.. keep it up brother!
Your content is very entertaining and educational💆🏾♂️💯
You should start a iPhone repair company
aaronbregoli he most likely would be the biggest apple repair center
Stupid he'd get sued by apple
RussellPlays Mods why
@Seth Dean You obviously haven't watched Louis Rossmann have you?
@Seth Dean Bro you can get sued like that you have an IQ of 35 if you do not understand that.
I’ve been waiting this at 5 o clock and it it wasn’t uploaded. But I still love you hugh :)
From my personal experience with refurbishing a iPhone 7 is how the charger flex cable was designed were right next to the Taptic Engine plugin the flex cable has a very small u-turn making it very easy to tear when pulling the cable up thus disabling the Taptic Engine (unless you are willing to wait for a replacement to arrive in a week in the United States)
great job hugh!
It’s 1 am
I can’t fall asleep
Came to watch Hugh Jeffreys videos😭
Welcome to another video of CZcams recommending me something I like
Best tech channel ever seen😻
NICE WORK MAN KEEP GOING
How did you manage to get that charging port bracket to glue in to the chassis? Currently restoring my iP8+ and honestly the quality of these chassis is underwhelming.. terrible screw threads, missing brackets pretty much all throughout...
Actually was so fun watching this video as I was going through the literal same issues as you where; infinite amounts of screws, super strong battery adhesive, intricate button brackets, extremely annoying hidden screws... Great video, the quality of these has improved so much throughout the last few months!
Watching this actually gives me more of an appreciation for the price these new phones sell for. Thats a lot of fiddly work and tech.
You shouldn't be because phones like this were specifically engineered to make repairs, should your phone be damaged, very hard and thus makes you shell out money again for a new phone. Horrible practice, to be honest.
Great job again like always
i really like the red and black design!!
That guy you got this iPhone is mad 256 gb iPhone writes 64gb

Hi buddy.. as always you refurbished this iPhone very well keep it up.👌👌👍
This iphone was very dirty, you removed lot of dirt from it. Still i saw some dirt on the motherboard near those metal shields. Next time just use isopropyl alcohol 99% you will find. This alcohol will not damage your board but will clean it thoroughly. If this dirt and dust remains inside it will again in future create corrosion there.
The Red and White option is really nice 👍 wow awesome video
I really love your work sir
Love your video bro and your very smart likewise 💯
This is stressful and satisfying
I like that profile picture bro
Your voice is so calm in this video.
Red and black looks awesome..
Hey Hugh I got a iPhone 8 plus for 110!
It needs a new screen, rear end and a home button! Wish me luck!
Home button will not work
The home button is cracked, it might still be functional
May the apple gods bless me bro
@@JackTheDarkVampirePrince154 how does one break a home button lol
@@exquisitedark I don't know bro, people are weird.
Schmousting Berry I’ve seen a home button that you can buy and it connects to your phone wirelessly but you won’t have touch id
I really love your videos tbh!! Well explained and good angle of the camera..
P.S. i love fixingthings what course should i get??

apple:its free real estate
Why would I ever use a damn headphone jack? I hate them, the cords get caught on stuff.... It`s called Bluetooth, and it`s awesome. The glass back panel allows for wireless charging. Samsungs have the same thing now..., Get over it.

wtf
He is a genius. He buys a ip8 for 300$, fixes it for under 100$ totaling 400$. The he uploads this video and gets almost 2 million views. Makes the money back, and keeps the iphone.
red n white looks cool
