Can I move an iPhone 8 into an iPhone 10 chassis? Thanks for any help much appreciated.

The shape of the board is different for certain. The wiring to the display and other components is certainly different. So assuming that you had the extremely expensive machinery to produce these boards and the skills to redesign the boards and reprogram the firmware (as well as enough time to do it) in theory you could. Effectively, you would be building a new phone altogether.

Bottomline, it's a definite NO.

If you want to brag that you have X - I am sure there are places where you can get a "case" where to put your existing phone, and to make it look like X.

1. No.

2. Why?

No. The parts are too radically different in placement and such. 8 is closer to a 7 than an X.

Just wondering since I’m putting an 8 back together anyways, and because why not make it look like a 10 if I could have 😉

Well the reason why I ask is because I’ve seen iPhone six to 8 chassis kits which use adapters inside the iPhone 8 chassis to fit the iPhone 6 components. Maybe the 10 is too recent for this to be the case for it.
