#72The video omits crucial details aside from the physical act of removing the original and soldering the new NAND. I know for a fact failing to copy original details results in failure to restore iOS with specific error codes, so I wonder what this video did. I've successfully done this many times back in the iPhone 6S days where the original chip was desoldered, read by a Chinese-made reader, and finally the identifie…
SysCfg with serial number etc has been on a separate NOR chip for quite some time [1]. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple allowed DFU restore to initialize a blank flash as mere optimization in the production process. [1] https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/NOR
Your link only lists NOR sizes for the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G and then goes on to say "iPod touch (3rd generation) and beyond -- The NOR is replaced with a dedicated partition of NAND"

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you rely on one for anything professional you know what's so terrible about a Micro SD slot. Even pro DSLR camera bodies using top of the line Micro SD tend to fail, that's why they come with two slots that you write to in parallel. // Also, iPhones since getting rid of SIM tray work after days to weeks under fresh or even salt water. That's harder to pull off with slots. More people need their phone to keep worki…
Excruciatingly slow, mechanically and electrically unreliable, obscenely large. Inconsistent-to-zero quality of the inserted device leading to people complaining about how “you” lost the data on their US$3.00 card.
That's why I do pay $30 at Costco, where it is exceedingly likely that the Sandisk memory card actually is one.

#74The care taken can only be described as mesmerizing. If you want proof that Apple is full of it and the whole "bootleg parts can compromise security," then here it is. Apparently, a lid close sensor is a major security risk - where NAND is not?
Let’s say you travel to a foreign country that has some level of corruption in immigration. Your devices might have or receive information their government or just some company in the country wants. You get detained for extra questioning. Your belongings get taken for review. What parts could a reasonably skilled person quickly replace in less than 30 minutes that would compromise security? THOSE are the parts they’r…
That's cherry-picking an intentionally silly example. Replacing the NAND is within the realm of possibility for an evil maid, and even more likely prior to a resale.
Now, considering that the lid close sensor DRM leaves the laptop in the state that a hostile entity would want (including your example) - the laptop doesn't automatically lock, what is the security argument there?
