British-Indian YouTuber Arun Maini, known as Mrwhosetheboss, has set a Guinness World Record by creating the largest smartphone replica in the world – a fully functional iPhone that stands over 6 feet tall. Maini, who surpassed Apple in YouTube subscribers, collaborated with tech specialist Matthew Perks (DIYPerks) to build the scaled-up device, which was unveiled in a video on his channel.
Maini’s achievement comes in celebration of his recent milestone of overtaking Apple in YouTube subscribers. “This is the greatest iPhone the world has ever seen. We’ve been working on it for over a year now, racing to overtake Apple in subscribers,” Maini said. The YouTuber explained that the massive iPhone is not just a replica but a “supercomputer of smartphones,” built from scratch.
To qualify for the Guinness World Record, the giant iPhone had to be fully functional. It needed to perform essential smartphone tasks, including sending texts, emails, using apps, and smooth scrolling. Additionally, it had to feature a working camera, torch, and charging port. Maini’s team ensured the device met all these conditions and more.
The massive iPhone, dubbed the “iPhone 15 Pro Max Ultra,” boasts an array of impressive features:
Maini began creating content for YouTube in 2011. Over time, his channel has grown into one of the most popular tech platforms, leading him to surpass Apple in subscriber count. To commemorate this achievement, he combined his passion for tech and world records to set a unique milestone of his own.
The giant iPhone replica not only showcases Maini’s technical expertise but also reflects his creativity and dedication to pushing boundaries in the tech world.
