A Chinese tech enthusiast has since shared a video of a foldable iPhone that was expertly constructed on Twitter. A Chinese artisan, according to Ben Geskin (@BenGeskin), has converted an iPhone into a foldable gadget. The motherboard, chip, and memory are located in the bottom half of the device, while the battery, sensors, and cameras are located in the top portion.

The modified iPhone's design is bizarre-looking, yet it works as can be seen in the video. However, as might be anticipated from such a project, the screen appears to be weak.

Even if the video is in Chinese, the procedure may be understood thanks to the subtitles. The creation of the foldable Apple smartphone required around 200 days of trial and error, which is a lengthy process. Check out the video below.
