YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss reveals a 2-meter iPhone replica, celebrating surpassing Apple on YouTube.

Growing up, I would disappear into the library for hours to read the latest Guinness World Records books, so to achieve an award myself feels absolutely surreal. - Mrwhosetheboss

The phone must be fully functional, capable of scrolling, sending texts and emails, and running all standard apps. It also needs a working camera, flashlight, and charging port.

“It’s a full circle moment for us. I’m incredibly proud of our team and Matt for achieving something unprecedented,” he said.

Arun started posting on YouTube in 2011 and has gained a substantial following with his tech reviews.

He made this giant iPhone to celebrate surpassing Apple in YouTube subscribers, a milestone he’s recently pursued.

Matthew, true to his username, specializes in creating homemade gadgets, often oversized or miniature versions of commercial devices.
