I have a 11 Pro max, i would love to apply this mod, so i can stop using apple's lighting port cables and use a normal usb-c cable.

Hey ! Do you know what drill bit you used for this project, do you have a link for it ? Do you also have feeds and speeds for it ? Thanks

Hello, I apologize if opening an issue was the wrong way to share this information, but I wanted to see if any of this information would be helpful.

I am a huge fan of this modification, and I've been wanting to replace the lightning port on my iPhone 6S with USB-C. However, my soldering skills are still pretty elementary, so the way I thought of doing it was by purchasing a USB-C to lightning adapter, and then internalizing it in the phone.

I ended up buying this 2-pack of adapters from eBay. The same product seems to be available on Amazon. The adapter worked with all of the chargers I tried, including high wattage USB-C to USB-C cables. Additionally, it also worked for data connections to my computer (iTunes, checkra1n, 3uTools, etc). I took one of them apart (and broke it in the process), and my photos are attached below.

First, here is an adapter that has been taken apart side-by-side with the adapter that has been left as-is.

I don't have a high quality camera, so I just did my best with some good lighting and my phone's zoom.


The text of the black component on the left clearly reads "AD501". The other component is not as clear, but it looks like it says "3415". With some light internet searching, I found that the 3415 component appears to be a MOSFET (Possible documentation and AliExpress listing). I was unable to find a 6-pin AD501 component like the one on this board, but I did find an obsolete 5-pin component from Analog and an AliExpress listing for what appears to be the same component.

I'm not sure how to measure the resistors now that my board is broken, but I do believe that the leftmost resistor in the row of three under the MOSFET is the 5.1 kOhm resistor used for USB-C to USB-C functionality since it has a trace to the fifth pin.

I will attempt to contact the seller to see if I can purchase the board on its own (I couldn't find anything on the internet matching CF205C1 or CF205C1-V3). Please let me know if any of this information was helpful or relevant, as well as if you can help me further understand this board.

What are the chances that an update would break the port? Seems like the OS would still think it’s Lighting.. that is even if it could communicate or detect the chip?

Do you think this same mod could be feasible on those other accessories? I imagine the Mac peripherals would have less of space constraint inside their respective housings. But would the same approach to the electronics work?

Is it possible to burn an iPhone this way?
