Uh, from USA.

美國。

USA?

美國。哇

Yeah.

很棒

Very good.

我自己拼一個 iPhone

I am trying to make my own iPhone.

很棒

Very good.

中國深圳

I was in a dimly lit barbecue joint, here in China.

我剛才在一個燈管昏暗的小燒烤攤

I was with people like me - geeks who are fascinated by the electronics manufacturing scene.

身邊的人和我一樣

And someone said, you know, you see all these cellphone parts in the markets.

都是一群被這宏大的電子工業場景所震撼的極客

I wonder if you can build your own phone?

有人這樣說：「看到市場上賣的這些手機零件，

I kept coming and going from China over the past 9 months,

我在想能不能自己拼出一個手機。」

and I couldn't get rid of this burning question:

在過去的九個月裡我不斷往返中國

Could I make my own cellphone?

我無法把這個念頭趕出我的腦子：

Would people even sell parts to a western guy like me who hardly speaks any Chinese?

我能自己拼出一個手機嗎？

Ni hao.

人們會把零件賣給我這樣一個西方來的、不怎麼會講中文的白人嗎？

Ni hao.

你好

Um, iPhone 6S?

我要一個 iPhone 6S

4S?

四 S？

6S.

Six（6） S

So, I did what any geek would do, and I dove in with both feet.

所以，就像每個極客會做的那樣，

Coming to shenzhen is like visiting to the future,

我全力以赴。

but it's this crazy, dystopian, Bladerunner-esque future.

未來已經到來，只不過並非均勻分布。——威廉姆 · 吉布森

So to make an phone I think I need 4 pieces. I need the metal back - the shell the phone sits in.

來到深圳就像在拜訪未來世界

I need a screen;

一個如此瘋狂

I need a battery;

反烏托邦

And then I need the logic board, which is the circuit board that has the processor and the memory and things like that on it.

《銀翼殺手》般的未來

So, we're in a back alley behind the Xiamen(?) market

要拼一個手機，我想我需要四部分零件：

I'm gonna take a look at what available here.

我需要金屬背板

Sometimes there are phone backs that are available for sale.

也就是那個容納手機的殼子

So, that was interesting.

我需要一個螢幕

I just went back to one of the booths and tried to buy one of the recycled backs, and I was successful,

一塊電池

but it's pretty dinged up.

我還需要一塊主板，

Now let's head inside the main market, see if I can get a back that looks new.

主板上包含處理器、記憶體等零件

I am not gonna be able to film with a big camera inside, but I'll be able to use my iPhone.

我們現在處於商場背後的一個小巷

Oh, those are nice.

我要看看這賣什麼

This, uh, iPhone 7 - Plus.

有時候這有賣手機背板

Yeah, those are nice - they don't have a logo.

很有趣

She can maybe get it for tomorrow.

我剛才在一個攤

Just one?

想要買一個回收的背板

I want this one for 6S.

我找到了

This one?

但是品質不太好

Correct.

所以我們現在進去市場

This one is 6S?

看看能不能找到一個新的背板

Yes, 6S.

在裡面我不能拿大攝影機攝影

How much?

但我能用 iPhone 拍

Do you want the whole frame, or the whole set?

這些不錯啊

What I'm saying is,

這是 iPhone 7 Plus 的

Do you want this and this and this? Do you want the buttons?

這些很棒，沒有 Logo

Correct, correct.

她可能明天能幫我們拿到

How many do you want?

要 6S，這個

Only one.

這個？

Ah, one.

對

Only one?

這個 6S 嗎？

This much.

對，6S

OK.

多少錢？

You'll take it?

你要單殼還是要這一套啊？

Yeah, I'll take it.

我就說，意思啊，

So that was a big success.

這個，這個要不要，還有這個

Pretty quickly, I was able to find a back that looks pretty new and pristine to me.

對對

It doesn't have any of the laser markings inside it like the used one does,

一套？

and I need those for aligning some cables, and there's a patch where the antenna sticks.

對

But I think there might be a place that has a laser that can add those for me.

你要多少？

So I'm gonna go and see if I can find that.

要一個

I also found a bunch of really cool designs of different colours that don't look like anything Apple makes.

要一個？

I looked around for a bit,

一個，對

and I finally found this laser engraving booth tucked in a little cubby hole underneath the stairs.

要一個哈（笑

Same, like a[n] original. Like whatever they normally do.

一個……你給這個錢

Yeah. So, Apple, the standard thing for USA?

好

Yeah, USA markings here?

拿一個？

I'm outside McDonald's and I'm waiting for Frank.

要，一個

So, Frank, Frank's a buyer, [he] buys a bunch of different Apple parts in the markets

大獲成功

He's gonna help me buy the parts to build a screen.

沒花多少功夫，我就找到了一個看起來很新很棒的背板

So, what I wanna build, I'm building an iPhone 6S, right.

它內部不像舊背板那樣有那些雷射標識

And I want to make the screen...

但是我需要那些標誌來定位一些排線

As much from scratch as we can, as much from parts.

我想有個地方有雷射設備可以幫我加上這些標誌

So, if we put together a screen, what pieces do we need?

所以我要去找找看

We need the glass;

我還找到了很多背板設計，色彩各異

The digitiser; the LCD; the backlight;

看起來絕對不像蘋果的產品

The OCA;

我四處找了找

Yeah, that's the optically clear adhesive.

終於在這個樓梯底下的小洞裡找到了這個雷射雕刻店

Yeah.

「要跟原版的一樣，

Isn't there like a touch sensor, for the force touch?

跟原廠的一模一樣就好。

In the LCD.

就……蘋果，標準的，美國那樣的？」

Okay, so it's a part of the LCD.

我現在在麥當勞外面

This process needs to be made ... Without ... dusty? Or ...

等 Frank

Without dust?

Frank 是一個買手

Without dust.

採購各種蘋果零件

Yeah. So it has to be very clean.

他會幫我買拼螢幕所需的零件

Yeah.

所以……我在自己拼一個 iPhone 6S

But they can do this here in the market, right, there are people who can do this?

然後我想自己做一個螢幕

We can go to the repair shop.

盡量從零件開始

So, should we buy the parts ourselves first and bring it to the repair shop? Or should we have the repair shop ... provide it?

所以如果要組裝一個螢幕

First, look at whether they're willing to do this for us

我們需要什麼零件？

Yeah, can we buy all of the parts? We buy [the] phone glass, we buy the digitiser

我們需要玻璃蓋板
