Disassemble to upgrade iPhone storage space, do you want to do it?

Previously, when the manufacturer also provided a microSD card slot, we were able to expand the capacity space through the slot. However, as mobile phones become thinner and thinner, they are also designed to be simple and beautiful. Many mobile phones have cancelled this design, and even Samsung has no longer equipped the Galaxy S6 with a microSD card slot.

The iPhone has never offered a microSD card slot, and if the user wants more capacity, he can only buy a larger version.

However, if you have a better ability to do it, you can also upgrade your phone's storage space, just like we replace the memory and graphics card for the assembled computer.

Unpack the iPhone and upgrade the storage space. Would you like to do this?

16GB too few users to change storage space

The minimum capacity version of the previous generation iPhone6 ​​and iPhone6Plus is 16GB. Since Apple does not provide the 32GB version, the 64GB version is a bit price-stressing for some users, so many people choose 16GB.

However, in addition to the system footprint and built-in application footprint, there is not much free space left, which is not enough for users to store photos, videos and games accumulated every day.

In order to solve this problem, the netizen Shanghai Bufan Technology took the lead in setting off the DIY banner and leading people to disassemble and replace the storage space.

Let's take a look at his approach.

Some people have to ask the iPhone6 ​​not to say hard disk, baseband CPU, chip, fingerprint, A8 main CPU has encryption, how can be changed. Yes, the traditional method to change the memory, you have to change a set of chips, but now it is different, out of the hard disk serial number reading and writing device artifact, you can change the hard disk, Apple's activation verification mechanism for iPhone6 ​​is the hard disk serial number The IMEI serial number of the mobile phone, and the matching of the fingerprint and the CPU can activate the normal use. Each hard disk has a different serial number, and the other is not a set. The mobile phone can not be used normally, and only needs to be The serial number of the 128G hard disk to be replaced is changed to the same as the original serial number of my 16G hard disk, and it can be verified and activated normally.

In short, through this approach, he successfully upgraded the 16GB iPhone6Plus to 128GB capacity. The netizen said that in fact, iPhone4S, iPhone5 and iPhone6 ​​can also upgrade storage space.

After the posting of this post, some people followed his example and upgraded the storage space by himself. For example, the netizen named tianzh, he also upgraded iPhone6Plus.

However, netizens have repeatedly stressed that the dismantling operation is risky, and friends who have no skills should not try it easily!

Everyone thinks that 16GB is less, but disassemble and upgrade the memory, and the technology is not enough. Let's not change the battery, upgrade the storage space, and some people may not even have to remove it.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

Recently, 360 City has launched an iPhone6/6Plus upgrade storage space service. According to official news, users only need 399 yuan to upgrade from 16G to 128G, and give a comparison of 16G and 128G storable content, and promises 0 risk upgrade, certified accessories, 360-day warranty for 30-day warranty.

In other words, the user does not need to risk the retirement of the mobile phone to upgrade the storage space, only need to spend 399 yuan to get everything.

iPhone6 ​​and iPhone6Plus original 16GB storage space can store 2700 photos, 2 hours video, 360 songs; upgrade can store 16000 pictures; 18 hours video and 2880 songs.

At present, the service only supports the upgrade of the store in Beijing. iPhone users in other regions can only choose to mail. At the same time, the user needs to back up the personal information such as address book, photo, video, etc. before the user sends the mobile phone, and the iOS system is the highest version after the upgrade service is completed.

So far, regardless of the users themselves DIY, or the upgrade service provided by 360, only support iPhone6, iPhone6Plus upgrade from 16/64GB to 128GB.

However, we believe that in the near future, there will be 16GB version of iPhone6s and 6sPlus upgrade to 128GB in our forum. Some technology companies may also provide 6s/6splus storage space upgrade service.

What should I do after repairing the machine?

This needs to be clear to everyone, if you upgrade your own memory, it means your warranty service is invalid. If you upgrade the storage space through the services provided by others, your official warranty in Apple will also be invalid, but the third party will provide you with a 30-day warranty.

If your phone warranty is about to expire, don't worry about repairs. Many people's iPhone6 ​​and 6Plus warranty services should also expire soon.

Netizen: This can have

From the comments of netizens, most people are quite active in tearing down the memory upgrade. Many people said that this solution is very practical and willing to give it a try.

However, from the comments, the support and willingness to try are users with strong hands. Some people ridiculed that if the hand is disabled, even if the toss is broken, it can be upgraded, directly upgraded from the 16GB iPhone6Plus to the 128GB iPhone6sPlus.

For the storage space upgrade service provided by 360, netizens joked that 360 will not only help you upgrade the storage space, but also give you 360 full security software. After returning, a bunch of 360 browsers and 360 housekeepers.

From another angle, we can also see that the phone serial number can be rewritten by disassembling the storage space. You want the US version or licensed. So, if you buy an iPhone through an unofficial channel or buy a second-hand iPhone, you need to be careful.

I hope the next generation no longer has a 16GB version.

Originally, we thought that the iPhone6s generation will no longer have a 16GB version, because nowadays, both photos and game applications, they are getting bigger and bigger, taking up more space, and the situation of 16GB is quite big a few years ago. Different.

In 2012, the average application size was 23MB. The advent of retina displays and 1080p screens has dramatically increased the space occupied by applications, as each application has to provide higher resolution images and therefore requires more space. The complexity of the application is also increasing, and the functionality and user experience are becoming more abundant. This is definitely a good thing for the application ecosystem, but it will take up more storage space.

Apple has also raised the upper limit of the space occupied by the app to 4GB this year, meaning that the largest application can occupy a quarter of the capacity of a normal iPhone. Of course, not all apps are "Big Mac", Facebook is only 95.2MB, Twitter is only 62.7MB, and Snapchat is only 52.9MB.

However, these are just the space occupied before the application is opened. Once the application is launched, the images and data will continue to take up more space.

Also, let's take a look at the photo. In the past, the 8 megapixel photos taken by the iPhone 5s and 6 were about 3 MB. If an average of 200 photos were taken during a holiday, it would take up about 600 MB.

On the iPhone6s, the camera reaches 12 million pixels, which means that the image size will be larger and the space consumption will increase, and Apple's latest LivePhotos will take up more space with the increase of video and audio.

The iPhone 6s also supports 4K video capture, which is about 300MB every 1 minute. In this regard, I just want to ask, since there is only 16GB, what does 4K mean?

Some people may say that there is no iCloud cloud storage? Yes, but the reality is that most ordinary white users will not do this by default, they will choose to be forced to delete some content.

Exhaustion of storage capacity can have a negative impact on the user experience. Users need to be forced to delete precious memories, music, and various apps and games.

If you still play some games, this is a small expert in eating space. Even a small game like "CrossyRoad" still takes up 74.7MB of space before it starts. Angry Birds 2 is 91.6MB, Candy Smash Legend is 55MB, and Monument Valley reaches 275MB before installing the expansion pack.

Compared to screen-rich games such as Real Racing 3, this is not worth mentioning. This racing game requires at least 855MB of space.

The 16GB version is not enough. From the user's point of view, I hope that the next generation we can see the iPhone7 and iPhone7Plus phones of 32GB, 64GB and 128GB.

At one time, our call for 2GB of memory was very high. Although the iPhone6 ​​was released, our hopes fell through once; however, in the iPhone6s generation, the user’s wishes were finally reached. Now, our voice for 32GB is also very high, I hope the next generation can do so.

Although from the perspective of Apple, continuing to produce the 16GB version next year will help to make more profits. Compared with 32GB, 64GB and 128GB, Apple has gained more profits through marketing strategies such as 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. Since it does not support storage expansion, users who need it can only skip the long-awaited 32GB, and choose more. Expensive 64GB and 128GB capacity.

According to the survey, as users demand increased capacity, the number of people willing to buy 16GB began to decline. 33% of those who are willing to buy a 16GB model (40% last year), 51% who bought a 64GB model (48% last year), 16% who bought a 128GB model (12% last year).

This trend has brought two benefits to Apple. In addition to the increase in sales prices, its future profit margins are also more abundant. Apple's gross profit on storage is expected to be >85% (about 40% overall).
