Not going to happen. The people who could do this would cost way more than it would be worth.

Just who do you think would make the parts for this adventure? Much less write the software to use it.
People are making ibook by installing macbook air inside it. sure few parts are needed. but we can get a phone with advanced feature and better battery life because of thickness of phone.

and for software only screen resolution is needed to be changed. we can put iphone 7's actual specs inside it.

That's because the MacBook Air internals most likely fit inside the iBook casing.

None of the iPhone 7's internals would fit inside the original iPhone. Someone would have to spend millions re-engineering the parts (which would not be allowed, due to patents etc, nor would you be able to run iOS).

Not going to happen.

What about the size difference between the 2g and the 7's screen? Do you really think they are interchangeable. You also want the new camera of the 7+, how do you think the processor in the 2g will handle that.

I can tell you have no experience in engineering. Sorry and do not want to be rude but it will not happen.

At the iPhone hacks section.
Not going to happen.
Its would be a terrible Frankenstein hack job. Just get a case that looks like an old iphone 2G if you want.
But taking apart an iphone 7 and sticking all the internals and screen inside an iphone 2G shell is not going to work. Not even the screen size is the same.

Might fit if you give it a good smack with a hammer.... o_O

How about an empty 2g shell and transfer internal parts of 3GS or even 4 or 4s over?

3GS sounds more like it because of the same size LCD.

Thinking of this because 2g network is no longer in service in my country.
