World's first waterproof iPhone with USB Type-C port to go on auction soon
India Today
Inspired by a reverse-engineered iPhone X with a USB Type-C port, an inventor has come up with a waterproof iteration of it. He now plans to put it at an auction and here is what it may fetch based on past experience.
As Apple retains the lightning port on its iPhones, several engineers have come up with their own modifications to ditch the port for a USB Type-C. One such is now going on auction with another key highlight - it is claimed to be the world's first completely waterproof iPhone.
The one-of-its-kind iPhone has been developed by Gernot Jöbstl, who shows the device in his first-ever YouTube video. In his video, Jöbstl specifies that his creation has been inspired by that of engineering student Ken Pillonel, who recently managed to install a USB Type-C port on his iPhone X. The one big improvement that Jöbstl made is the addition of a waterproof capability on his own iPhone X.
