If your like me you have probably got an old iPhone lying around somewhere that is faulty or is no good to you as Apple have stopped supporting it through software updates. Maybe its iCloud locked and you can no longer remember the passwords etc. There are millions of phones in this state that will be heading straight to the trash very soon as new phones are coming out every month. Don’t bin that old iPhone just yet, today I’m going to show you how you can recycle that old iPhone into a shiny new 32gb USB flash drive. Its a fun project in micro soldering and perfect if you have just bought your first heat gun and are looking for something satisfying to do with it. Enjoy!
