There’s a video where someone upgrades the memory of an iPhone by cnc’ing the existing memory chip. So basically using a drill to more or less drill the existing chip to get rid of it. Requires crazy precision.
What the fuck? Like its not even bga or some other kind of soldering?

So I guess it was UV epoxied after soldering and he put new epoxy on with the new nand. Or something along those lines but the component is soldered in a typical way. The rotary tool being used to pull out the residual phone glue is excellent and I feel like I learned something useful even though I’m never going to do an iPhone ram upgrade.
