I Gave Every iPhone USB-C.

Video Description

Years after my viral "World's First USB-C iPhone" modification, I'm back to revive the project. This time, I'm turning that one-off DIY mod into a real product you can own. Join me on the full engineering journey as I build the ultimate iPhone case. We'll tackle the electronics with a clever 'parasitic powering' hack to enable true 9V fast charging, a problem my original mod had. I'll show you my process of reverse engineering, rapid prototyping with 3D printing, and designing a custom flexible PCB. From countless design revisions to scaling up for mass production, this video shows everything that went into creating a slim, durable case that adds a USB-C port while supporting MagSafe, data transfer, and CarPlay. This isn't just a hack anymore; it's the biggest project I've ever done.
