An AliExpress conversion kit gives the phone a different camera layout, but covers its flash and LiDAR sensor.

What Even Is This...? #Shorts

A red metal frame, a stick-on glass back and some oddly arranged camera openings: Phone Repair Guru's latest iPhone makeover requires no teardown. It does, however, cost the phone two useful features.

In the new Short, he clips on the bumper and presses the adhesive panel into place. The kit cost him $20, and his first impression isn't entirely negative: "It doesn't feel too bad, but there's a huge downside to doing something like this." Turning the phone over reveals the problem. The flash and LiDAR sensor are covered and unusable.

The clip has drawn roughly 190,000 views in its first hours. Viewers are picking apart the camera bump's proportions, while one suggests a light pipe could have given the blocked flash a route out.
