Turn Your iPhone X Into a XS! Perfect Gold Kit #Helpful Post

his is a beautiful iPhone tennis right

wrong this was an iPhone 10 just a few

hours ago before I stripped it and put

it into this shell it looks just like

the new iPhone 10s it is absolutely

gorgeous you will never be able to tell

the difference between this and a

genuine iPhone 10 s so in this video I'm

gonna be showing you how to update the

look of your iPhone 10 whether it's

broken or you're just tired of the

existing color and swap it into this

beautiful new 10 s housing kits this is

one of the best housing swaps I could

possibly recommend and in this video I'm

gonna be showing you how to install it

and this is especially useful if you've

broken the back on your iPhone 10 this

is like a four or five $600 replacement

in some cases well now maybe a little

bit cheaper that the 10s is out but in

any case if you just wanted an update to

the look make it look beautiful like the

10s or it's broken this is how to do it

so let's take a look at that casing

actually I've not seen it in person but

it looks really really good in the

pictures like near om quality I

literally just started binge watching

season four of narcos and this reminds

me of some products from that show all

right and let's see how close they got

the finish to Apple's om all right oh

wow look at that

so that reflective finish on inside as

you can see it's a shimmer special

coating that Apple applies for the first

time ever I'm seeing it in an

aftermarket housing how cool is that

this looks oh em what makes this so

great is it looks like an iPhone 10 s

you would not know otherwise how do you

even know it's a 10 s if you're not

experienced in that you won't know on

the bottom the ports are the same the

speaker holes are the same so you don't

have that mismatched speaker design so I

guess that's kind of a benefit even how

this feels so solid of course you still

get your wireless charging the stainless

steel band I'm kind of impressed how

amazing this feels a very very good

quality here so we also do have the

little buttons and stuff that comes with

it right here in that same finish and

yeah let's go ahead and turn this 1-year

old phone into the newest latest and

greatest No

we'll ever known and this is the one of

choice so this iPhone here I kind of did

some repairs on it's got a broken frame

it's the perfect one to replace here and

I'm just going to transfer everything

from inside to this one here and the

process itself does take quite some time

I'm going to be following that iFixit

guide I'll be glossing over some of the

more important points here but I just

want to say this feels great such a

premium finish here

very very nice housing but okay let's

get to work gonna be doing this step by

step obviously we're not doing the 10 s

Mac sighs just a 10 s because the 10

didn't come in to size last year but uh

okay let's get to work so I want to

start by turning your iPhone off of

course and then I'm gonna pry the screen

off and go from there and what you'll

need obviously a toolkit of some sort

doesn't need to be this one in

particular but I use the I fix it and I

usually I fix it guides with this to

help me break you down I'll leave a link

down below if you want to follow that

and battery stickers these are the wrong

ones but make them work and I would

recommend one of these screw mats so I

don't have want to just printed it out

and put it on magnet board right here

that way you can organize the screws it

seems like there's just less screws

overall versus earlier models so that's

why I say seems a little bit easier to

tear this one down this will be my first

time ever tearing down an iPhone 10

series to the core completely replacing

everything so just as a beginner at the

iPhone 10 as you may be watching this

we'll see how it goes I want to start by

removing the screws from the bottom here

and to loeb placing them on the match

next up using the suction tool you want

to pry the screen up mine's already been

removed so I can easily get in there

won't be this easy for you and it does

open up to the side so do remember that

don't cut any of these connections on

accidents and then want to remove this

plate here get the screen out of the way

as always you want to remember the screw

placement that's why the mats are so

important here because the screws are

all different sizes and putting one in

another slot could damage things

actually even keep your phone from

turning on in some cases so be very

careful about that gently pry up all the

connections holding the display place

and off to the side of that one goes

okay so we're gonna start by removing

the cameras here go ahead and unplug all

of these connections and remove the

Phillips screws surrounding the cameras

next up want to remove the motherboard

so let's go ahead and release all of

these connections on top of it

be very gentle as to not crease or cut

any the Flex cables very very efficient

logic board for sure compared to earlier

iPhones and remove any further screws

holding the motherboard in place and

just like that it is ready to remove of

course can't forget the SIM card tray

holding everything in place here and

with the face ID camera out of the way

go ahead and pry this bad boy out and

Wow

just appreciate that in your hand for a

moment there is so much engineering that

has went into this absolutely insane

we're gonna focus on this area down here

go ahead and remove all these screws

holding the taptic engine in and the

speaker okay go ahead and remove the

shielding holding this in place

next up unplug the taptic engine from

this connector here so next up we want

to go ahead and remove the battery and

this one may or may not be a pain in the

arse so of course with these tabs I want

to pull on them to release the adhesive

holding this all in place alright got

one okay after a heavy struggle got the

bottom one out and now we're gonna do

the top one be careful with the borders

of the iPhone just cut myself really bad

or sharp whoa you want to go ahead and

remove four screws on the border here

holding the antenna wires and charging

port wires in place on the bottom here a

couple more screws get those out of the

way alright and I would recommend a heat

gun to go ahead and loosen up all of the

Flex cables here you don't want to tear

any of them of course we want to remove

these three remaining screws here on the

inside of the SIM card tray there's a

little pin you have to push out there

you're going to replace into the new

iPhone

it doesn't appear that it comes with

this little piece so we're just gonna

push that into the little hole right

here

all right I've transferred over the

cables here and now start reinstalling

everything piece by piece

next we're gonna go up here put the

wireless charging pad and don't forget

about all these side bolsters over here

you want to go ahead and reinstall here

I'm gonna go ahead and remove the

FaceTime cameras now we're gonna remove

the Wi-Fi antenna appear remove all the

screws peel that back and replace it

onto the new iPhone right out that goes

in it goes to the gold iPhone there's a

lot more smaller little tiny parts

little antennas than I anticipated

going into this so it's definitely not

as easy as I might have made it sound

next up we're gonna remove the power

cable assembly all these brackets on the

side peel that back and replace it

immediately into the new ones so like

the others be very very gentle with

these ribbon cables they are prone to

tearing I would recommend heating this

area up and then pull this metal bracket

up like this and go ahead and pull it

out

now the power button can be removed and

do the reverse instructions on the

opposite shell with the gold button okay

and that last remaining thing is the

wireless charging pad in the buttons

here on the left so go ahead and remove

all of this structure here replace it

into the new one and I'll get to the

charging pad in a second alright once

you've got those removed you want to

very very gently go around the edges

here and pry the wireless charging pad

upwards the adhesive okay just like that

we've a decay today last piece and let's

go ahead and place it into this bad boy

loosen this little old brackets and then

just pull it straight up

reinstall the gold buttons on the new

one okay so now that everything has been

swapped over or we can start

reinstallation off all the existing

parts starting with the battery and then

the taptic engine and the loudspeaker

and the logic board and so on basically

reverse all of the steps that we just

did alright that's in there

so logic board goes back make sure

you're not covering any wires

accidentally okay just like that my

friends we have sucked the soul from one

iPhone and inserted it into a gold 10s

shell let's connect the display and

fingers crossed that everything went

right I did damage one part and I was a

cable up here near the face ID module it

was for an antenna and yeah so that's

the only thing otherwise everything went

smoothly hoping everything will work

right now after the turn on so I'm gonna

go ahead and power it on or at least try

to and oh yes we have life hopefully

everything works otherwise you can go

ahead and seal it up final inspection

before closing make sure everything's in

order

nothing looks out of place and

everything is working go ahead and close

it up now the crappy thing is with this

gold body they didn't give you gold

screws so you have to reuse your black

ones but you really can't tell now can

you and let's place our new gold SIM

card tray inside hoping that service is

gonna work let's Wow I'm very very

satisfied with the fit and finish of

this it feels OEM it feels just like an

iPhone 10s model that's very unusual

with these kind of shells all the bolt

placement was in the right place like I

cannot say enough good things about this

if you break the shell of your iPhone 10

this is honestly one of the best things

you can possibly do in terms of a

replacement you get this beautiful gold

shell basically an updated iPhone 10s on

the old 10 models and wrapping this up

just have some closing statements here

if you want your iPhone 10 to have a

fresh new look or if you crack the back

glass of your iPhone 10 you can update

it to the 10s look it is absolutely

beautiful

it's cost-efficient you don't have to

replace the entire iPhone and keep your

old one looking and feeling fresh

the finish is top-notch especially what

gets me is the fact that it has that

reflective coating look just like

Apple's iPhone at 10s model they have

this shimmer and now it's been

replicated on this

market show it looks really really great

so I would recommend this so much as for

the installation process I

underestimated how difficult it would be

and honestly took me several hours and

pain I'm bleeding I did slightly damage

the interior because I was trying to

rush but if you take your time totally

doable you know this was the first time

inside an iPhone 10 for me actually

stripping it so it wasn't all too bad

all things considered if you guys want

to buy this I'll leave a link down below

in the description where you can get it

totally would recommend thanks for

watching guys stay tuned for the next

one
