In a feat that would make even Willy Wonka scratch his head, YouTubers Arun Maini and Matthew Perks have constructed the world’s largest functional iPhone, setting a new Guinness World Record. This colossal device, modeled after the iPhone 15 Pro Max, stands a staggering 6.74 feet tall, dwarfing any phone you’ve ever seen.
But this phone isn’t just for show. Using an 88-inch OLED TV as the display, it boasts a fully functional touchscreen that allows you to do everything you can on a regular phone—make calls, send texts, browse the web (though good luck finding your thumbs!). Imagine trying to play Candy Crush on this behemoth!
The record-breaking phone was unveiled at a public event, where attendees marveled at its sheer size. It also features working cameras, a flashlight, and the world’s largest USB-C charging port, complete with an equally giant cable. Operating it required two hands (or maybe even more) and some serious arm strength.
Maini, who runs the YouTube channel Mrwhosetheboss with over 19.4 million subscribers, and Perks, from DIYPerks with 4.61 million subscribers, pulled off this engineering marvel to mark a celebratory milestone. Maini surpassed Apple’s YouTube channel in subscribers, making this build a full-circle moment for the creator.
Is this the future of mobile phones? Or just a gloriously oversized novelty? Either way, it’s an incredible fusion of tech and imagination that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible.
