An iPhone 16 doesn’t have to cost much at all. In this video you will see how to turn an old iPhone XR into an iPhone 16!
This is how you turn your old iPhone XR into an iPhone 16
The daughter of a handy YouTuber wanted an iPhone 16. But instead of buying one, he upgraded her old iPhone XR. In the video below you can see exactly how he turned an iPhone XR into an iPhone 16!
The result is impressive and the daughter is very happy with her brand new iPhone 16. But for true Apple connoisseurs it is clear that it is not quite a real iPhone 16. From the outside it indeed looks like a brand new iPhone 16, but if you look a little closer you quickly see the differences.
The edges are a lot thicker than on a real iPhone 16 and you can see that there is still a notch. This is the black bar at the top of the screen. Of course, this has long since been replaced by the Dynamic Island on the real iPhone 16.
In addition, the iPhone XR only has one camera on the back. Therefore, the second lens seen on the ‘wannabe’ iPhone 16 will not work. It is striking that the LED light works and is in the right place.
Of course, you should also not forget that not much has changed in the hardware. A few parts have been replaced, but most of it has been reused. This means that this iPhone does not have the brand new A18 chip or the better camera (48MP).
Yet we have to be honest: it is an impressive transformation and the results are impressive. But do you want a real iPhone 16 with all the functions? Then you will really have to buy a new one. The iPhone 16 is available from €880, but for all prices it is best to take a look at the iPhone 16 price overview.
