Could you use the apple logo to replace the one you have on your real iphone? And could you use the backplate? What about the chrome bezel, is that usable? Please let me know thanks.

Hi,

I’m wondering if you can use the cover, the bezel, etc.. to use them in the original iPhone?

Maybe post a disassembly video of your iPhone Dummy?

Grtz..

ArtOfWarfare: I don’t think functionality is measured in terms of length of duration of use but rather how many functions it can perform……..

BTW, if you intend to stress your “friend” out so you can have a laugh (though I can’t see the humor in it at all), then I am glad I’m not your friend

And who would pay $40 for a fake iPhone? The same people who spend $20 on a 25-cent plastic case?

… I don’t own an iPhone but I was under the impression that it offered a lot more than 50x the functionality of a dummy. (You said it’s 1/50th as functional… are you just pulling numbers from thin air or did you actually like, calculate how many hours one would realistically spend with each thing? I can’t see anyone spending more than a week with a dummy… whereas an iPhone will probably be used for 2-4 years… which would mean it’s at least 100-200x as functional… right?

@Cubsillwin,

Sorry for the confusion. The Dummy does not turn on. I meant its screen looks a little different froma REAL iPhone when ITS screen is turned off.

your saying the screen looks different when turned off, does that mean it turns on? Does it do anything at all?

So if the dummy is made of OEM parts, couldn’t you utilize the backing to replace the backing on your iPhone? Mine is scratched and some of the finish is worn…….just throwing it out there.
