An iPhone 7 with a 3.5mm headphone jack is a dream device for any disgruntled Apple fans still mourning the loss of the port. Now, that dream device can be yours... if you’re willing to mod one from scratch.
You may remember Scotty Allen, a former software engineer who managed to build his own iPhone 6S out of recycled and spare parts from Shenzhen’s famous phone markets, but his latest project takes things a step further by not just replicating Apple’s most recent smartphone, but arguably improving on it by adding back a 3.5mm headphone jack.
