Thanks to most games for games, adding more game memory is as basic as breaking from the rear panel and simply driving a fresh SSD M.2 into a spare socket. When it comes to phones, it is a bit more complex, especially if the device is the iPhone 17 Pro Max. And when I say toddlerI actually mean an extremely complicated feat of highly qualified engineering, as one of the mode shows.
The latest iPhone 17 Pro Max Apple, the most steep in the released limit, is available with four memory options: 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB. There is a price difference of $ 200 between the first three, and due to the size of the capacity stroke, a gap of USD 400 between models 1 and 2 TB.
Unfortunately, there is no SD card socket or this, so you can’t change how much memory you have after purchase. Well, actually you PowerAlthough as Director It is not straightforward at YouTube shows.
Thanks to the flawless presentation and attention to detail, long but beloved videofienge leads through each step related to replacing the SSD module with a capacity of 256 GB in the iPhone 17 Pro Max 1 (they planned to utilize the 2 TB module, but could not be associated with compatibility problems).
The first thing you notice is how many different screws and ribbon cables are used on the phone. I was pleasantly surprised that a relatively diminutive glue was involved, but despite the same reaching the SSD module itself is an almighty task, and certainly not for anyone with shaken hands.
Even if you are more skillful than Aye-Aye, there is one obstacle that will stop almost everyone in their tracks. Apple, like all phone manufacturers, used the SOC (System on Chip system), in which the SSD module is associated with the upper part of the Dram module, which in turn is associated with the upper part of the processor.
The DirectorfeFeFeFeFEFEFEF solution is both brilliant and disturbing: utilize the CNC grinding machine to grind each SSD trace from the packaging, leaving only bare high heels at the top of the drama. Or, as video signatures describe this, “Flashing” physically “. This is certainly the most safe method of replacing the warehouse disk that you can have.
After disappearing the old Flash system, Nand Directorfeng removed all old soldering balls (each system is mounted to others using the BGA, Ball Grid board, inside the packaging), and then carefully applied their new layer to mount the SSD 1 TB SSD module. After all, it is a “simply” case of reversing the dismantling process, and then loading iOS to disk and bingo! You now have an iPhone with four times larger memory capacity than before.
It must be admitted that, taking into account the cost of all the equipment needed, as well as the years of training and experience required to do everything shown in the film, it may be a technically cheaper payment of the 400 USD difference and the purchase of 1 TB iPhone. Ah, but then you would never feel the joy of making one of the most sophisticated film films I’ve ever seen.
Although it is glorious to watch the whole process, I prefer to work on desktop and laptop computers. Much less screws, much more space to work, and 1 TB SSD are now quite affordable. On the other hand, watching how I pose a fresh laptop ride would not be a fascinating clock. Hmm, I wonder what I can CNC Mill in my Acer RTX 4050 Lappy?
