Mod Kit Lets You Convert Your iPhone SE or iPhone 5 Into a 4-inch iPhone 6 [Video]

Mod Kit Lets You Convert Your iPhone SE or iPhone 5 Into a 4-inch iPhone 6 [Video]

Disappointed that Apple chose an iPhone 5 body for the iPhone SE? It's possible to transplant your device into a 4-inch iPhone 6 style body, reports Computerbild.de.

The site purchased a mod kit sold on AliExpress for converting an iPhone 5 or 5s to a 4-inch iPhone 6. The kit includes a new body which lets you move over components from your old device.

In order to swap the iPhone’s housing you should know exactly what you’re doing. Each ever so tiny screw, all the wires and covers must be moved into their new home. While the extraction of the logic board is rather simple, the flat cables under the board are harder to remove: pull to strongly and a conductor path might be severed in the process. Obey the supreme rule: do it step-by-step, slowly and remember where all the parts go. Even our most experienced engineer needed more than two hours for the entire transformation.

Computerbild says that only advanced users should attempt this mod but it's technically possible. Also, it's important to note that the quality of the 4-inch body will not be as good as Apple's and could vary from seller to seller.

Check out the video below to see the transformation...

There are only two cases you can use for this: The case that came with it (if you chose such) or the TwelveSouth SurfacePad but still nice mod

You don't have to tell people which phones they need or what they do with it unless they ask you

The iPhone 6 has lesser specs than the iPhone SE. It's just a fun mod that makes your phone unique.

the cost of an iPhone SE plus the cost of this kit...might as well just buy the 6. Also, converting to this kit voids your warranty.

Besides, i saved money not having to rebuy cases. Old iPhone 5 stuff fits on my SE. Including my Logitech Powershell mfi controller.

That's not going to allow people to screw over each other on ebay at all.
