There can be a striking gap between Apple’s vision of the perfect phone—as few ports and buttons as possible—and what the company’s most inventive fans have come up with. And the latest hack video illustrates the extremes home tinkerers are willing to go to add hardware features that go beyond Apple’s minimalist design ethos.

The Korean video “iPhone USB-C TwinPort” shows the creation of a dual-port iPhone 12 mini with Lightning and USB-C. It goes through the arduous steps of making room for the new port by opening up the case, removing and cutting out other components, and then adding a USB-C port. The speaker seems to suffer the most, being cut in half and sawed off, while the microphone is also subject to some punishment.

This video is about how to make an iPhone with two ports using the USB-C connector. [port] on iPhone 12 mini,” the description reads (via Google Translate). “I just did it with the idea of ​​using a Type C cable when needed. Many details are missing, such as speaker resonator handling and grounding.”

At the end of the video, which up to this point has been a series of still images edited along with pleasant background music, the manufacturer tests the Frankenphone on a Windows PC, demonstrating that the Lightning and USB-C ports work for both charging and data transfer. iPhone 12 mini shows up in iTunes no matter what port you use to connect it to your PC.

It’s safe to say that Apple will never release an iPhone with two ports, which will have implications for size, cost, water resistance, and sound quality, as the idea is visually appealing to creative artists. And legislators, apparently; a phone that supports USB-C as well as the proprietary Lightning standard should sidestep upcoming legal hurdles for the Cupertino company. Instead, Apple is expected to simply transition to USB-C from the iPhone 15 onwards, preparing for an iPhone without a port in a few more years.
