Everyone is lapping up the Apple news today but DIY Perks is making their own new Apple gear. They built the worlds largest iPhone. Based around a 88″ OLED TV, their first challenge was adding a touch layer to the screen. Check it out! they did not cut corners [$$] in this build!

This is the hardest project that I’ve designed and built – it took a LOT of work, pushing me to breaking point several times over 3 months. It only reached completion thanks to the support of my family and a one week ‘crunch time’ at the end with Lamar and Jozef from Arun’s team (the video as presented isn’t actually chronological; the screen wasn’t complete until just before delivery!). So I’d just like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped get it over the line, and particularly to my dad who helped me the most when things got tight. I’m very grateful to have this as my job, despite the challenges, so I also want to thank each and every one of you for being interested in my projects!
