A UNIQUE iPhone is up for sale for $80,000 and it has a feature many fans have been crying out for.
Tech expert Ken Pillonel has modified the iPhone so it has a sought after USB-C port.

That’s the kind of port an Android phone has.
Many Apple fans want the tech giant to change to this type of charging port so that they don’t have to rely on specific Lightning cables.
Pillonel modified a 2017 iPhone X to have the USB-C port.
He explained exactly how he did it in a viral YouTube video.
The modifier is now auctioning the device but you’ll have to fork out tens of thousands if you want it.
The YouTuber, who has the username Kenny Pi, captioned one of his videos: “This is it. I’ve finally built the World’s First iPhone with a USB Type-C port.
“It supports charging and data transfers. The first part was about getting the electronics to work.
“Then the next step was to reverse-engineer the Apple C94 connector and make my own PCB with a female USB C port.
“Then the schematics for the project were set and tested and the final was to make it fit inside the iPhone!”
Apple is often rumoured to be bringing out a USB-C port but that didn’t happen for the iPhone 13.
People prefer that type of port because it’s said to provide faster charging, quick data transferring and can allow you to reverse charge so you could charge an item from your phone.
