Worlds Largest iPhone

September 18, 2024

Share to Google Classroom

Two YouTubers have built the world’s largest iPhone, breaking a Guinness World Record.

Tech reviewer Arun Maini, known as Mrwhosetheboss, teamed up with gadget-building expert Matthew Perks, also known as DIYPerks, to create a giant replica of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, measuring 2.05 metres tall.

Maini wanted to build the oversized iPhone to celebrate having more YouTube followers than the official Apple account. The enormous phone is fully functional, with a working touchscreen, camera, flashlight, and charging port.

“It feels like a full circle moment. I’m so proud of both our team and Matt for pulling off what’s never been done before,” Maini said.

The project shows how far technology and creativity can go when combined, setting a new standard for what’s possible.
