How I Built My Own iPhone and Other Adventures in the Cell Phone Repair Markets of Shenzhen

I've spent the past year exploring the cell phone repair markets in Shenzhen.It started with the crazy idea that maybe I could build my own iphone from scratch, from parts that I bought in the market. But what else is possible when you have access to unlimited cell phone parts, cheap and fast manufacturing, and deep repair expertise? I'll take you with me on an adventure through Shenzhen, and explain why I think the Chinese approach to manufacturing, repair, and recycling is so amazing.
