Been bored in lockdown, so I decided to go through all my old apple products that I have accumulated over the years.
One of them is an old iPhone 4 that had been water damaged in the past. I had a few options with it, put it back in the drawer and forget about it, stripping down for functioning parts, selling as junk... Or framing it.
I loved the iPhone 4, it was (and still is) my favourite iPhone Apple ever produced. It was also the first iPhone to have more aesthetically pleasing internals, compared to the 3GS and prior. Its the closest I will get to having a clear iPhone 4, which would have been awesome.
I wanted to take a deeper look into the phone, so I took it apart just out of curiosity, and took the battery out (and kept it out) for safety reasons. The battery was starting to bloat, but I feel a dummy battery would look great in there, just to fill that empty gap.
I'm thinking that a white card backing would make it look better.
Anyway, just wanted to share, don't plan on making more, but I think its cool.
If I could pick another device to frame in a similar manner, it would definitely (hypothetically) be an iPhone X. Not sure about the cost price though right now!
