First, KingSener removed the screws on either side of the USB-C port on the bottom to disassemble the iPhone 16 Pro. To dissolve the adhesive holding the rear glass to the side frame, KingSener applied tape around the edges and used pure alcohol.

Next, they used the suction cup to attach the rear glass and pull it up. This way, the rear panel was successfully removed. The next job was to remove the cover that contained the internal flash memory as well as the wireless charging components. The cables and screws that connected the components were also removed.

The coating on the logic board surface next to the battery is stripped off. The NAND flash chip is bonded to the logic board with epoxy and will not easily come off due to heat. So KingSener used a CNC machine to remove the 128GB NAND flash memory attached to the logic board.

The pads for soldering the chip to the board are now exposed. The next step is to clean the pads.

Next, install the new 1TB NAND flash memory. Then use your own technique to update the BIOS and memory to the motherboard until you are sure the new memory is installed properly. Reinstall the motherboard.

To install iOS, KingSener connects the modified iPhone 16 Pro to the MacBook. Then, go to Settings > General > About to check the product's storage capacity. As a result, the internal memory displayed has a storage capacity of 1.02 TB.
