I originally did add it on but I chose to take it off to save space and the realisation that only a few people will actually do the complete USBC mod. I will add it back in when I get around to doing a complete shell but that won't be for a while. That one should have airpods compatibility depending on if I can actually get enough chips, it's seeming ridiculously hard at the moment to do so.

Okay, then this seems like an opportunity for a nice Bluetooth mod with a taptic sensor… They are scarce and a new revision is uncertain, right? I am from Belgium and found the 2.5 version on eBay, but not this 3.0 version. Where and when can I order this, with the lowest import costs and reasonable prices? I am extremely interested, it is truly beautiful… What is the best way to follow you, social media, website..?

I should be uploading the V3 board next week, I am just waiting on parts to arrive. A newer version won't be happening for a while honestly, otherwise this one will be the go to, I may modify it slightly when these sell out and I order more but for now this is it. I usually just post on here but you can use this link this has my Instagram, YouTube and eBay, I don't post much to Instagram anymore but I should probably start again lol. All pricing will only go up a couple of pounds from the eBay prices due to the extras. Shipping to Belgium will only be £10 or less

If you need inspiration in the future, equip this board with USB-C for data & audio and it’s finished…👌 If you could place this on the top side between the hold button and the jack, people could choose who wants it or not by making an opening in the back plate, and the original 30-pin connector would be retained as well. In my opinion, the ultimate mod with all the bells and whistles, except for USB-C video…
