And itвЂ™s not just loyal Apple customers wishing for USB-C ports, either.Дespite AppleвЂ™s hesitation to switch over from their proprietary Lightning port, other companies have been more confident in making the transition. Many people have devices that require a USB-C connection, and Pillonel felt that it would make life easier to have one charging cord to charge all of his devices. Pillonel uploaded a video of his modification and described his steps to retrofit the iPhone X with the new, modern port.

The retrofitted phone finally sold for $86,001. Since then, the highest bid recorded was $100,100. He put the modified iPhone up for auction on eBay last month, and the bids show just how desperate people are to get their hands on it.Д«ids started at $3,500 and jumped to a staggering $50,000 within 28 hours. Pillonel is working toward a MasterвЂ™s in Robotics at the institute. Ken Pillonel, a student, studying at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, took matters into his own hands and created a modified versionВ of the iPhone X with a USB-C port for charging and data transfer. One student in Switzerland modified a version of the iPhone X to include a USB-C port, and it recently sold for $86,001В on eBay, a staggering amount for one individual smartphone.

Still, the tech giant has yet to make the switch. Rumors have circulated about the potential for Apple to transition from the Lightning port to USB-C for years now.

If youвЂ™re looking for an iPhone with a USB-C port, youвЂ™re one of many.
