iphone se with edge to edge screen

hello.

i was wondering if there are any possible ways to attach an edge to edge screen of whatsoever to an iphone se.


some ideas i had was

-attach an a11 chip on a se and install a full screen somewhat like the x

-attach a bigger screen on the phone and see what happens (ditching the home button and using the on screen function instead.



anyone with interest on this issue please give us a clue


Thank you.

Not really. The processors are soldered on and generally not pin compatible. And there's likely a ton of other stuff that wouldn't be compatible.


The kind of work it would take to do what you're thinking of doing isn't worth it when it's easier simply to buy a new device.

This would likely be a disaster. There's so much more than just plunking a new screen on an iPhone. The chip is specifically designed for the specific screen the phone came with. The outcome, even if remotely possible, would likely yield a device which doesn't work at all. It would also be far easier and likely less expensive to just sell the phone and buy a new phone.
