YouTube user "Hyphaistos3672" disassembled the ‌iPhone 12 mini‌, removed the speaker, and created space for an additional port, before linking the new USB-C connection to the existing hardware. Upon modifying the speaker to fit in the reduced internal space and reassembling the device, the resulting fit and finish is surprisingly good.
Connecting the device to a Mac demonstrates that both the Lightning port and USB-C port are fully functional. It therefore seems to be possible to simultaneously charge the device and listen to audio via a wired connection – something that has been impossible on the
iPhone without an adapter since the removal of the headphone jack in 2016.
The modification garnered considerable
attention on social media over the weekend. Adding
USB-C ports to iPhones have become a popular modification in recent years. This year, Apple is expected to finally
transition the iPhone lineup to USB-C amid
regulatory pressure.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup:
