## What it is
A repository documenting a hardware modification that replaces an iPhone's Lightning port with a USB-C port. It contains design files and instructions for the mod, licensed under WTFPL.

## Use cases
- mod an iPhone to charge over USB-C
- learn how to solder a USB-C port onto an iPhone logic board
- find schematics for a Lightning-to-USB-C conversion
- follow a DIY guide for iPhone hardware mods
- contribute to an open hardware USB-C mod project

## When to choose
- you want to convert an older iPhone to USB-C charging yourself
- you need reference files for a Lightning-to-USB-C hardware mod
- you are comfortable with microsoldering and want an open-licensed guide

## When to avoid
- you want a plug-and-play software solution or app
- you are not comfortable opening devices and soldering tiny components
- you need a warranty-safe or officially supported charging solution

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: hardware, cross-platform
- platform: -
- tags: hardware-mod, usb-c, iphone, electronics, diy, hardware
