I PHONE 5S AND 6S THA BEST PHONE

is the  best 
 this one consists of six apple iPhones that were being sold for parts or repair listing intrigued me and I wondered if I could score a bargain and fix them up to make a bit of money these phones range from the 5s to 6s so far from the latest but that's what you can expect a lot of cheap broken phones I picked this whole lot up for a total of 134 Australian dollars which is around the price of a working iPhone 6s here in Australia so as long as we can get one working then we should already be able to make our money back I'll unbox all of the phones so we can take a closer look at them to charge them up and see what happens immediately you can see some have smashed screens some are scratched and others are in perfect condition like this rose gold 6s upon plugging in the iPhone 5s we see an.....

apple logo 

but shortly after it continues boot looping I'll plug in the rest of these phones and let them charge up after letting them all charge we have one with no passcode three locked with a passcode and two that don't turn on so far it's looking promising although in the description it stated that most of these were iCloud locked more on that later what we got was three phone 6s all with non-broken displays we had two iPhone sixes one being a six-plus these both have smashed screens and of course, lastly, we have the iPhone 5s which is in absolutely perfect condition the phone without the passcode interests me most and it's actually why I purchased a lot in the first place, it's an iPhone 6s running ios 9.2.1 I still remember the slide to unlock back in the day when i.....

used to use an iPhone 

it is definitely a really fun throwback there are some weird quirks though whilst there's nothing on the phone and it looks pretty much stuck if you force touch on the lock screen you get this weird glitchy video of dogs to appear and in settings of course it is still linked to someone's cloud account and being an iPhone that means you can't reset the device although I wouldn't want to reset it or even connect it to the internet as Apple servers have been deactivating 

and bricking these iPhone 6s on ios 9 

in an attempt to force people to update their ios version 

and they provide no explanation as to 

why our next phone is this iPhone 6s it's locked with a passcode on a recent version of ios which disables all USB connections without the password what's really lucky is apple's reset protection is turned off so the device will be able to be reused when it's reset I will achieve this by putting the device in recovery mode and reset it with iTunes although I ran into an error saying I was not authorized to install ios apple's support page wasn't much help either it said to update restart and try again it turns out the real issue was apple has blocked the installation of ios 14.4.1 the version I was trying to install they do this for all older versions of their software preventing you from downgrading to an older version so I re-downloaded the latest 14.4 updates and proceeded with the restore this time the restore completed without a hiccup and we arrived at the hello screen thankfully there was no activation lock as we had previously checked that before resetting the device after running through the setup you can see it is now fully functioning and is a 64-gigabyte model while still functional the battery is at 86 health i will replace it to ensure the phone performs like new the percentage sounds quite high but based on my experience with iphone batteries, you can start to get random shutdowns and short battery life to open the phone I'll remove the two pentalobe screws and lift up the display with a suction cup once i'm inside I can disconnect the battery by removing the bracket on top and using a spudger to disconnect the connection itself while not necessary I will also be removing the display this will give us some more room to work and allow us to reapply the water resistant seal later on as you can see the original seal hasn't done a very good job as there's quite a lot of dirt and grime inside

after removing the battery release 

strips we can remove the battery I'll then use a brush to clean up the

insides of the iPhone and remove as much 

of that dirt as I can I'll also need to remove all the remaining residue from the display and frame of the phone to ensure our new seal will be seated incorrectly and do the best job it can at keeping out that dust and grime once everything is cleaned up it's time to install our new battery it's already prepped with adhesive strips so all I've got to do is press it down into place before I can reinstall the vibration motor and attach new water and dust resistant seal to the phone pressing it down into place with a sponger I can remove the top layer of the protective film before reattaching our original display panel back into place fastening the metal bracket for the front display into place I can reconnect the battery and attach its bracket after cleaning up the insides of the phone it's time to remove the final protective layer over that adhesive before we seal down our front display panel after attaching the two bottom screws this 6s is now functioning great but get a look at that screen protector i mean how could the last owner just leave that on there well I figured that out quite quickly it won't come off well at least not without a fight I've never seen anything like it the glue was so strong that if I could get my pick under the glass it would just shatter and breakaway it took a lot of alcohol and 30 minutes of prying i got it off in a million pieces that is it did leave a lot of adhesive residue but I was able to just rub that away and with that, we have a fully working iphone 6s our next device is the iPhone 6. it's got a smashed screen the LCD is broken and it is an international model likely from europe the problem here is that find my iphone is turned on which means if you reset the device it will become bricked and require the previous owner's password you used to be able to insert a sim card and ask Siri who was the owner of a device and it would tell you the contact information of that phone unfortunately since then in newer software updates apple disabled siri after a restart so that's not possible I decided to put a sim card in to see if any notifications would pop up or a phone number but instead, it just went back to the activation screen as the phone is likely sim-locked as a result, I can't do any more with this phone our fourth phone is this iPhone 6 plus it's seen better days the housing is quite scratched the screen is smashed and the battery is no longer holding a decent charge so the phone tends to shut off randomly the good news well find my iPhone is turned off which means when we reset it to remove the passcode we'll actually be able to reactivate and reuse the device so I'll place the device in recovery mode and restore it just like we did with the iPhone

after the restore completes we'll be 

able to set up the phone and check out 

the battery health 

and storage capacity of this phone it 

turns out this is a 64 gig model 

with a battery health rating of 87 for 

this phone we'll be replacing the 

battery 

and the front display panel in a similar 

manner to the iPhone 6s 

we'll remove the two pentalobe screws 

from the bottom and lift up the display 

using a suction cup and a plastic pick 

once inside we can disconnect the 

battery one of the screws was 

rounded off but luckily I was able to 

get it out 

after disconnecting the battery I can 

move to the top portion of the phone 

where I'm going to remove this bracket 

and the display's flex cables 

after removing the display we can take a 

a closer look at the inside of the phone 

you can see the water indicator has 

turned red to indicate liquid damage 

and you can see quite a lot of corrosion.                                  

inside the phone

while it still works I'm going to clean 

it up later on 

for now, though we're going to get rid of 

this old battery I'll need to remove the 

three adhesive strips 

holding it in place these need to be 

pulled 

almost parallel to the battery to ensure 

they don't snap off 

after getting that old battery out of 

the phone it's time to give the insides 

a good clean 

I'll remove any connectors and spray the 

phone with isopropyl alcohol 

using a toothbrush I can brush away as 

much corrosion and dirt as possible 

it's now time to move across to the.                                                                          

front display I'll need to remove    the home button 

and earpiece assembly to transfer to our 

new screen 

you can see here with the home button 

things are looking quite corroded 

there's no apple logo on that cable 

which indicates to me that this isn't an 

original 

home button so no loss if we can't 

recover it 

it was working so I don't see why it 

wouldn't after I cleaned it up 

you can see it's looking quite good and 

I don't see any damage to the cable 

itself 

I'll remove the home button because 

we'll need that later on if you do have 

functioning touch id 

you'll need to make sure not to damage 

this cable or you will lose that 

functionality 

up at the top, we'll need to remove the 

earpiece speaker 

front-facing camera and microphone of 

course 

cleaning components as we go 

the last thing I'll need to take off 

this screen is this shield that covers

the back 

running underneath is the home button 

cable so it's important not to damage

it when we remove this part 

proceeding it's now time to crack out 

our new display panel 

we'll need to reattach everything we 

just removed like our 

rear display shield front-facing camera assembly and home button speaking of the home button we'll need to clean it first to remove all of that gunk that was 

built up on top of it 

we will also replace the gasket most

repair shops will miss this step 

the home button has originally adhered into place, if it's losing it can rotate

and this rotating force can snap the 

cable

reconnecting our home button all that's 

left to do is attach its bracket at the top, we can reconnect the flex cable for the earpiece microphone and front-facing camera

positioning everything back into place

we can make sure it is aligned properly

before tightening down the bracket

finally, we can reconnect our new display

panel to our phone

after connecting the flex cables we can

install the battery and test out the

phone

as you can see our phone is operational

although

our touch id will never function this is

because apple pairs each home button

to each device which means if it's

replaced or repaired it will no longer

function

proceeding I can reinstall the LCD

bracket and its five Phillips head

screws

lastly, I'll reinstall the battery into

our phone

this is a brand new replacement which

should bring our battery health capacity

back up to a hundred percent

after fitting it into place I can

reinstall its bracket

clean up the inside of the phone before

sealing down the display

the iPhone 6 series of phones don't have

water and dust resistant seals

like the iPhone 6s hence why I didn't

install one on this device

after installing the two pentalobe 

screws the last thing we'll need to do 

is remove this car mount from the back 

of the phone 

if you take one thing away from this 

video let it be this 

never stick these mounting systems to 

the back of your phone 

not just because you should be able to 

drive without looking at your phone 

but because these mounts are almost 

impossible to remove 

it took about 30 minutes just to remove 

this is from the phone 

not even pliers would rip this junk off 

the back 

I wish it was possible to demonstrate 

just how strong this adhesive was 

but this was some next-level stuff of 

course there was still a heap of residue 

on the back 

which I used more adhesive remover to 

get off 

but finally, a phone was free of this 

ugly mount and I could wipe it down 

and all of that hard work has paid off 

well at least it looked like that until 

I turned the phone on 

that's right it turns out the adhesive 

remover ran down the sides of the phone 

and it was absorbed by our new screen 

none of the insides of the phone 

just the backlight I don't have a 

replacement backlight or 

screen assembly so I'll have to finish 

this off at a later date 

our next device is another 6s this one 

doesn't power on we're going to open it 

up and put a new battery in it to see if 

that 

fixes our issues upon opening it I can 

see that the device has sustained 

some form of liquid damage so the 

chances of it working 

are pretty slim I'll connect another new 

battery with some charge in it to test 

out the phone 

pressing the power button I was 

surprised to see the Apple logo 

although that's as far as we could get 

it the device 

just keeps boot looping the issue here 

is find my iPhone as turned on which 

means if we restore it 

it will lock up and not work anymore but 

there's a trick 

we're going to update the device instead 

of restoring it 

this will replace the entire operating 

system but leave the user partition in 

place 

this means if the device successfully 

updates 

we should get to a lock screen so we 

should be able to somewhat use the 

device 

after it's updated I was surprised to 

see that it successfully completed 

and the phone was actually working and i

could 

confirm that  this phone has no passcode 

I could continue through the setup 

screen 

and was greeted with a 64 gig iPhone 

6s, however, the water damage has caused 

issues 

the baseband chip doesn't work which 

means you can't make or receive calls or 

text messages 

this thing is basically just an iPod 

touch I will replace the battery 

as it's completely dead this will allow

me to at least turn the device on and 

off 

one thing to note is if you reset this 

device 

you'll be brought to this screen where 

it says unable to activate 

and this is due to the baseband chip not 

functioning

in ios 10 and earlier this wasn't an

issue but since ios 11 

if you have a phone with bad baseband it 

won't activate 

taking the board in isopropyl alcohol 

and cleaning it up may resolve this 

issue but it's likely that it will need 

proper micro-soldering repair 

once I've got a used battery installed i 

can press it back together 

and reinstall the two screws 

our last device is this iPhone 5s and 

there's not a whole lot I can say about.........

this one 

other than iCloud is turned on and it is 

stuck in a permanent boot loop 

it also flashes to a red screen 

occasionally and this indicates to me 

that the hard drive or and flash 

storage in this device 

is completely toast it won't even show 

up in iTunes 

and immediately shuts off when i 

disconnect the power 

however, all hope is not lost as it's in 

great condition so I can easily part-out 

the screen and housing 

and sell those on so this is it out of

the six devices 

three are working and one is in an 

partially working state 

if I was able to sell these devices 

individually and part out the two that 

didn't work 

I could easily triple the money I spent 

it's always a shame to see a device that 

could be fixed and reused 

blocked from doing so each year millions 

of working or fixable apple devices are 

shredded 

because of apple's activation lock a 

flawed security feature 

even if a device is not marked as lost 

or stolen apple's ios 

locks it from being reused if you don't 

log out of your account and give away 

sell donate your device or even forget 

your account password 

no one can use it this is a big issue 

for corporate and schools who have 

employees returning thousand dollar 

devices 

as bricks, after they quit fixing this 

the issue would be easy 

simply giving a 30-day grace period 

after a reset 

would be enough for an owner to have 

time to mark the devices lost or stolen 

after the period elapsed the lock would 

be removed and the device could be 

reused 

of course, prohibiting the reuse of 

devices mean that they can sell more 

new devices 

so I don't see this as an issue to ever 

change unless enough people voice their 

opinion on it
