You can buy an iPhone 6S on eBay with a cracked screen but with a good
enclosure, battery, and logic board and a ready-made replacement screen
assembly (as he did) and "build" your own iPhone right in your living
room, no need to go to China.
Looks like a near half-hour long video to obfuscate that he basically
did a screen replacement, except for some reason he went to the trouble
of purchasing the enclosure, logic board, and battery separately and
assembling them with all those little screws rather than just buy them
as a unit.
You can get all the same pieces individually on eBay if you really want
to, also.

My wife dropped her iPhone last year and cracked the screen, so I ordered a generic screen from ebay. It worked but the sensitivity of the screen wasn't like the original. Sometimes she had to swipe two or more times, or tap more than once to get it to respond, but at least it worked. FF 8 months later and the screen started developing lines and eventually only part of the screen was accessible. A week later it would turn fade completely to lines in about 20 seconds.
I've heard others complaining about replacement iPhone screens not being up to the original standards, so I guess a new screen is not a guaranteed permanent fix.

I thought it was interesting because of the culture differences between West
and China.
They have big markets trading in components and recycled electronics you
don't tend to find in the West.
It wasn't actually about being able to make your own iphone.
