Matthew Beem, a passionate and renowned YouTuber, brought a huge surprise to the online community by successfully crafting a gigantic iPhone. Standing at a towering height of 2.1 meters and weighing over 230 kg, this phone not only looks like the real deal but also performs functions like making calls, taking photos, and processing payments.
The idea to create a giant iPhone came to Beem after he referenced a similar project by another YouTuber. Alongside three companions, Beem spent a week completing this challenging endeavor. Their colossal phone sports a similar design but on a much larger scale, featuring a large touchscreen on the front, a selfie camera, and a rear triple-lens camera setup. Notably, the device doesn't run iOS but integrates a Mac mini running an Android version with an iOS-like interface.
