Hi guys,
Does anyone know where to purchase an SE2 frame from? Does it fit in an iPhone 8 chassis as customer has smashed front and rear, but cannot source a replacement frame.
Has anybody successfully moved the internals to an iPhone 8 Chassis? The customer is happy with this solution - if it can be done :)
Is this a good question?

I don't think the iPhone 8 frame will work for a se2. The mounting for the motherboard is different I believe.

Thanks Allan, looks like a new screen and case for now then!
A bunch of parts are interchangeable though.
By the sounds of it almost everything except battery and lb. Rear camera also but with a difference to picture quality.
Shame about the frame as I have no way of getting that part in
I believe the camera is the same but the difference in quality is from the compute power of the new chip. I checked every place I deal with and can't find a back case yet. Give it a month or two.

Mostly people think so that both have same frame/chassis/ housing. I am seeking for the right experience and answer.

I have done it on my own iPhone SE2 after the rear glass broke. I found it easier to pay $20 for an entire iPhone 8 chassis than to fool around with picking off the glass shards. The swap works wonderfully, though the procedure requires stripping every part and keeping track of the screws. I also have some doubts about the quality of mobile reception (battery goes down pretty quickly), but that might be unrelated.
I do not understand why people answer these questions with "I don't think" or "Mostly". Either you know or you do not. I have done it, so I know it is possible.
