The iPhone with USB-C port is (really) very expensive

Remember: last October 17, we reported the feat of a DIYer who managed to power his iPhone using the universal USB-C standard rather than the traditional Lightning port. Since then, success seems to have been achieved. Indeed, the mobile in question is now available on eBay. At auction. For the modest sum of… 100,000 dollars currently, even more. That is the equivalent of more than 85,000 euros at the current exchange rate.

But be careful, because there are some conditions. In fact, the buyer undertakes to:

  • do not open the device
  • do not use it daily
  • do not restore, update or delete it

Otherwise, as the creator specifies, the “prototype” could prove dysfunctional. Which would be a real shame, given that the iPhone X in question here is indeed capable of turning on, communicating and transferring files via its new socket. Note also that the item in question has 64 GB of memory and that it is black in color, with of course iOS as the operating system.

For those who would be tempted by this nugget, the iPhone X offers a 5.8-inch Super Retina HD panel (2,436 x 1,125 pixels) and is compatible with the 4G network. It integrates two 12 Mpx photo sensors on the back. One is a wide-angle lens with ƒ/1.8 aperture, while the other is a telephoto lens with ƒ/2.4 aperture. In terms of dimensions, the iPhonethe iPhone 13 released a few years later. For a weight that is also almost equivalent: 174 g.

The iPhone X is also protected against splashes, water and dust. Certified with the IP67 protection index, it can therefore remain submerged for half an hour at a depth of one meter. As for autonomy, it reaches up to thirteen hours of video playback or sixty hours of audio playback, according to official information provided by the manufacturer.
