Upgrading the memory in the phone is theoretically a straightforward process. Just take out the low-capacity chip and replace it with a larger one. But the contents of the original chip need to be copied onto the new one. For that Scotty bought a chip programmer.
Then, he needed to remove the memory chip from the iPhone. Fortunately, he bought several iPhone logic boards from broken devices to practice on because his first attempts resulted in significant damage to other, nearby components.
Working through that required buying another holder for the logic board. With it was able to remove a practice chip. He needed a binocular microscope to see what he was doing, though.
It allows you to keep your iPhone and card permanently connected, which may be difficult with an add-on adapter.
Files on the MicroSD card are accessed through the iExpander app in a similar way to standard adapters. This means that you can read the same card from multiple phones, and also lets you use different versions of the iPhone without worrying about connector compatibility. In addition, AirStash lets you access files through a browser as well as a dedicated app. However, as you have to connect to the device's own wireless network to use it, you can't use a separate Wi-Fi connection while using AirStash.

That might not be practical of course. Can anyone here explain the soldering process used to attach these in the first place? The bigger chips don't look like they would work like that. Do they heat up the chip envelope which then melts the solder or something.
Or is the chip glued on or mechanically attached in some other way? My guess is that this can be done, BUT, it is not cost effective to build up one board for my personal phone due to sunk one time tooling costs. Dec 29, PM. Jun 13, PM. Jun 14, PM. Communities Get Support.
