    Steve Jobs makes the iPhone unboxing as self explanatory as possible
    Previous owner: cuts open the box to get the phone
    Steve: “Am I a joke to you?”

    When his phone breaks does he just get a phone from his collection or does he go out and buy a brand new one

    • @m1dvn1ght
      @m1dvn1ght Před 3 lety +2

      He would probably repair it but if it was impossible to repair then he could get one from his collection or just buy a new phone

    @RicoGalassi Před 5 lety +4

    Had a 5s before I switched to Samsung and holy hell this phone was my favorite. Went back to using it for a few weeks about a year ago and the buttons were SO tiny, especially the keyboard lol going back to using it after using a note 5 for 2 years was a huge difference and fun experience

      Some people like old versions. You can always upgrade.

    • @aydoyt
      @aydoyt Před 4 lety +7

      +TrueJulio JerryRigEverything is the jailbreaker, he keeps them on older iOS versions for two reasons:
      a) Getting iPhones on their original firmwares is not common, and
      b) They get all slow and laggy when you update them

    I've found that buying Activation Locked iPhones are a great way to buy parts. You obviously can't use the Logic Board, or the Home Button if you care about TouchID, but you can use everything else

    I just bought a MINT condition iPhone 5s 16GB Gold running iOS 8.3 for $60. This was my best offer, as the phone was originally costing $66. I had no idea what iOS it was on at the time of purchase, so I got super lucky! I won’t be updating this phone, as it’s great for my collection.

    @RolandKoller90 Před 3 lety

    Would be great the see the 5s body be fully stainless steel, but have the rear middle that currently Is aluminum be switched to glass for wireless charging, and where the glass strips are have that be the stainless with the rest of the frame. Would make for a sturdy phone. Then update it to all screen like the newer iPhones.
