YouTuber creates record-breaking 8-foot iPhone, claiming world’s largest ever

Currently, the largest iPhone available in the market is the 6.7-inch Pro Max models. Matthew Beem proudly claims that his creation is the largest iPhone ever made, surpassing the previous record set by YouTuber ZHC, who built a 6-foot iPhone in 2020.

Surprisingly, the colossal 8-foot iPhone created by YouTuber Matthew Beem functions just like any other regular iPhone. It possesses all the usual features, including the ability to take photos, make payments through Apple Pay, utilize various apps, set alarms, and even play games.

In a video shared by Matthew Beem, he took the oversized iPhone on a trip to New York City to gauge people’s reactions. He rode the subway, captured selfies and pictures of iconic landmarks, and even had it reviewed by popular tech YouTuber MKBHD. Despite its massive size, this iPhone provides an experience akin to using a standard iPhone, albeit with a grandiose twist.

Contrary to popular belief, the 8-foot “iPhone” created by YouTuber Matthew Beem is not an authentic iPhone. Instead, it is a combination of different components from various products. The massive screen comprises touch panels typically found in TVs, enabling it to function similarly to an actual iPhone display. To create a seamless experience, a laser is positioned around the screen. This oversized TV display is then connected to a Mac mini, which runs the same apps commonly used on iPhones. 

All the familiar features, such as the lock button, volume buttons, and mute button, operate just like those on an iPhone. The device even sports a glass finish on both the front and back, and the front-facing camera is equipped with FaceTime functionality.
