Hello, I would know if is possible with build a new iPhone from ZERO. If I buy all components, for example, for iPhone 6, can I buy a perfect working iPhone? And where can I find all components for iPhone?

No, it’s not possible to build a working iPhone from parts bought on the market. Apple doesn’t sell the chips that would be necessary for running iOs and build a working device, you’d have to buy an iPhone in any case.

There is that famous video by Stranger Parts where he builds an iPhone but that is a more modular approach. You certainly couldn't build it from scratch for the reasons you mention. Either way, you do it for the learning, not to save money.

@refectio I wonder how long would it take to hand build an iPhone, part by part, can't really figure out anything reasonable in terms of time..

@arbaman it would be akin to torture...

The cost would be double.

So there isn't possibe buying from a wholesale the components? Only way is buying components already used (for example an already used motherboard).
