Soon after the iPhone 7 launched, a popular genre of YouTube video was that of false DIY experts who took drills to their devices to create a "headphone jack" by boring holes in the bottom of their iPhones.

This, of course, did not work, and a non-zero number of phones were destroyed in the process. Wednesday afternoon, I got an email from Scotty Allen, a Shenzhen-based software engineer who I had spoken to a few months ago after he "made" an iPhone out of spare parts he'd found in Shenzhen electronics markets. Like those early phone modders, Allen told me he took a drill to his iPhone 7, added a headphone jack—and everything in the phone still worked.
