The world's first waterproof USB-C iPhone is going up for saleWhat you need to know
Gernot Jöbstl has transplanted a USB-C port into an iPhone X.
Unlike previous port transplants, this iPhone X is waterproof even after the mod.
The new iPhone will go up for sale on eBay next week.
Who knows how much this thing will bring in.
Apple doesn't seem all that keen to bring USB-C to an iPhone and while there is still a chance that it could happen with iPhone 14, it does seem unlikely. But you can get your hands on a new USB-C iPhone X right now or, more accurately, once its auction ends. It won't begin until January 19.
This iPhone X was created by Gernot Jöbstl and unlike previous USB-C iPhone transplants, this one retains its water resistance. That, apparently, makes it the world's first which should bump the price up a little bit. That's probably fair considering Jöbstl had to go about creating a custom part to make the magic happen.
