How big do you think the world's largest iPhone with a camera is?!

The iPhone created by YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss is 12 times the size of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. That means it's a monster size at 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kg. And the camera is professional-grade! This record-breaking giant device has shown us a glimpse of a slightly different smartphone future.

The Giant iPhone Can Actually 'Shoot'

You might wonder, 'What can you do with such a big iPhone?' Rest assured, this iPhone is not just a showpiece; it can take high-resolution photos.

That's because it features a 'Canon EOS R5' as its main camera. Capable of shooting in 8K resolution, it's a 1000% enlarged version of the iPhone 15 Pro Max's camera. Just because it's a giant iPhone doesn't mean it skimps on shooting capabilities; it's built with serious specifications.

Smartphone? Camera? No, Almost a TV?

This super-sized iPhone isn't just for taking photos. With an 88-inch LG OLED TV modified as a screen, it supports touch operations. You can make calls and use apps.

However, unfortunately, it doesn't run Apple's iOS but uses Android instead. It's said that even Flappy Bird, long banned on iPhones, can be revived. This giant smartphone, which can also play games, might as well be called a 'portable TV.'

The Road to a Guinness Record Costs $70,000!

This project cost a whopping $70,000 (about 10 million yen). Everything, from the camera and speakers to the aluminum frame and custom touch foil, is super-sized. But the most surprising fact is that it only took three months to create.

This iPhone, made with a mix of seriousness and a bit of humor, has earned its place in the Guinness World Records. Is a future where smartphones continue to grow in size really coming?
