Huge storage space! New iPhone SE with 512GB is launched: perfect storage expansion

[[324038]]

April 26th news: Recently, domestic iPhone repair company GeekBar announced on Weibo that the team has officially achieved the capacity expansion of the new iPhone SE. The expanded iPhone SE is now fully functional. This is also the first 512GB new iPhone SE in China.

According to the team, they successfully replaced a 64GB version of the new iPhone SE with 512GB storage space. It should be noted that the new iPhone SE officially sold by Apple has a maximum storage space of only 256GB. After testing, the new iPhone SE currently has all normal functions, can be turned on and off normally, and supports normal upgrades of the iOS system. The reading and writing speeds are also normal at present, but it does not rule out the possibility of functional instability in the future.

The so-called capacity expansion is a method of replacing the storage space of an iPhone. The mobile phone repairer first removes the original ROM of the iPhone through high temperature, reads and writes and transfers the internal data to a larger ROM, re-solders it and reactivates it, so that the storage space of the phone can be increased.

Why do we need to expand the storage capacity? As far as I know, there are generally two reasons. First, users are reluctant to replace their old iPhones, but the storage space is not enough, so expanding the storage capacity becomes the only solution for them to continue using their old phones. Second, it is because Apple’s official price difference is too expensive. The official price difference between the 64GB and 128GB versions of the iPhone XR is about 500 yuan, and the same 500 yuan is enough to expand the capacity of this machine to 512GB on Taobao.

As an unofficial repair service, iPhone expansion is bound to have problems. Unauthorized disassembly and expansion will void your warranty, and Apple will not be responsible for any problems in the future. Therefore, please wait until the warranty period has passed before expanding the capacity. To remove the ROM chip, your motherboard will inevitably be exposed to high temperatures, which may accelerate the aging of the motherboard; the expanded ROM chip is not an official Apple product, and may have various functional abnormalities, or even problems such as being unable to upgrade iOS or unable to enable the original color mode.

In my opinion, there is no need to take such risks with a newly bought iPhone SE. 64GB of storage space is basically enough for daily use. If it doesn't work, you can upgrade to 128GB for an extra 500 yuan. You still need to think twice before choosing to expand the storage of your iPhone.
