Yesterday, a YouTube channel known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@directorfeng-china\/featured\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DirectorFeng<\/a> uploaded a video showcasing their journey in attempting to upgrade an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 2TB of storage, just hours after the phone was available.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7M60g09HB1M\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a> starts off as an attempt to upgrade to 2TB of storage, all the way from a base 256GB model. However, during the process, he discovers that the 2TB NAND he had purchased wouldn\u2019t quite be compatible with the iPhone 17 Pro Max \u2013 so it ends up just being a 1TB upgrade. The channel says to \u201cstay tuned\u201d for a future 2TB upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the video showcases a full disassembly of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, highlighting many of its new design elements. Things like the vapor chamber cooling system, the new incredibly small logic board, and more are fully on display. You also get to watch the process of destroying the previous 256GB NAND to free up the pad to solder the next NAND.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a fun watch, and depicts the entire teardown and upgrade process.
