Structure simply one mobile phone from scratch would be a substantial endeavor, even if the world has lots of them. Now think of attempting to construct one that’s 100 times its regular size with almost all the very same types and functions.
YouTubers Matthew Perkins (DIY Perks) and Arun Maini (MrWhoseTheBoss) did precisely that, developing a working reproduction of an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The finished job determined 6.74 feet high and 440 pounds, making the set a main Guinness World Record.

Perkins began his construct with the screen, an enormous endeavor that needed transforming a LG Signature 88-inch OLED television into a responsive touchscreen. He commissioned a maker to make a piece of touch foil the size of the screen, which he repaired in location with an optically clear glue UV epoxy.
The next difficulty was discovering a method to fit extra-large variations of the phone’s parts in a frame: the speakers, three-lens video camera range, the volume and power buttons and the unique function button. He developed a frame out of aluminum with a cross shaped assistance in the middle. The cams specifically weren’t low-cost, as Perkins chose to utilize both a Canon EOS R5 along with a Sony RX10 Mark 4 to simulate the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s telephoto lens. The frame was likewise developed to be completely installed to a similarly-scaled up phone stand so it might be turned without providing the user an enormous hernia.

The only significant part they could not recreate was the os, considering that Apple’s iOS is closed-source. Utilizing Android had 2 significant advantages: the Bliss OS recreated the feel of an iPhone home screen utilizing a themed skin, and they might set up Flappy Bird– something real iPhone owners have not been able to do in almost a years.
The phone might be huge however it seems simply as practical as a portable iPhone. Maini and a group of pals took the phone into the real life to check it out, and obviously it can make tap-to-pay purchases, send out e-mails and make video calls. Practical or not, it’s brave to bring a $70,000 phone onto the streets of London without a case.
