"I built a like-new(but really refurbished) iPhone 6S 16GB entirely from parts I bought in the public cell phone parts markets in Huaqiangbei. And it works!"

Strange Parts is:

- An exploration of every back alley, industrial market, and tiny workshop I can find.

- Stories that dive deep beneath the surface of technology and the world around us.

- An investigation into stuff that’s not quite correct. It’s a crack in the mirror of normalcy that allows us to peer into the inner workings of the world.

... and so much more.

Take a look, there’s amazing things just waiting for us to discover, and amazing stories just waiting to be told.
