Don’t buy this scam iPhone

[Music] Apple products have long been seen as being more than they are this isn't just a phone and this isn't just a laptop they're status symbols and wherever there's a status symbol there's a knockoff I'm sure you've seen them online much cheaper than an iPhone thinking maybe it's just as good well that would require buying one and so we did clearly there's something to this it's frankly iconic but at some point you're going to have to use this thing and that's real pay whoa here it is so this box looks an awful lot like the iPhone box okay on the back we have a high digital camera face recognition this is definitely not packaged as nicely as an Apple device Apple famously doesn't use any plastic in their packaging whereas this uses a lot whoa a headphone jack Apple would never include that whoo a screen protector that's amazing Apple would never include that wa USBC Apple only just included that and then we have a three camera bump just like the iPhone wow it is uncanny how terrible this looks wao it runs Android keep the moving pieces is open the camera switch to video mode we make moving pieces here that's what Mac address is most known for this is the slowest phone I've ever used while this is loading you might notice that there is a notch Dynamic Island it's literally just a blank black thing printed onto the glass why would you do that this speaker's horrible that's it let's open up the camera now there's three lenses on here unfortunately system UI has stopped this is infuriating okay let's try Force shutting this off you know this reminds me of how slow that iMac we bought that refurbished iMac with an a spinning internal drive so we were trying to figure out the camera that's what we were trying to do then it takes so long to load things in this you literally forget what you're doing this is very strange the selfie camera looks kind of good there's no Zoom there's no this I the cameras are fake let's go to the Apple website oh there we go you know when a device is this slow you kind of start second guessing yourself did I really click on the internet browser oh it's loading the browser isn't responding do you want to close it wait okay I wanted to look at this website this phone's terrible I've never use it but you have to use it no no I did have to use the thing and boy do we find secret lurking underneath unlike a real iPhone correct well despite Apple's best efforts to lock down iOS it's still vulnerable to spyware have you heard of Pegasus wor still it's notoriously difficult to spot because of Apple's sandbox restrictions Certo anti-spyware however can perform a full deep scan of your iPhone by plugging it into your computer and using their desktop app after a few minutes any threats detected can be removed with a simple tap of the button and now you can stay protected with CTO for even less click the link below and get 20% off today from the product page it looks looks like they've upgraded the iPhone since we've bought it but even our old model advertised specs that meet or exceed what you'll find on the real iPhone 14 pro 1 TB of internal storage dual SIM card support a 6.7 in 1440p AMOLED display 16 GB of RAM and a very strong 6800 milliamp hours battery these aren't specs to scoff at and on paper make it seem like it's worth far more than the $300 asking price and yet the longer you use this phone the more you hate it I put a SIM card in here intending to use it as an actual phone for a bit that plan was quickly dashed though when it kept telling me there was no SIM card inserted did I put them in backwards or would detect the SIM card and then tell me I have no service no service no service and it frequently switches between these states without any Rhyme or Reason this is something that persisted across both slots making it entirely useless as an actual phone but hey it's still got Wi-Fi which would be great if that worked reliably unlike the SIM card I could get this to connect to Wi-Fi it took about a dozen attempts across several networks but it did eventually work however even if the shockingly unresponsive home screen decided to cooperate and launch an app it would often show a connection error or load indefinitely assuming the phone hadn't disconnected from the Wi-Fi of its own volition by this point you using this thing is a test of patience for example I have not been able to download any apps onto the phone because the Play Store rarely loads and even when it does it becomes so unresponsive it's basically useless and good luck force closing an app to try and get things moving again since the navigation bar at the bottom often disappears without reason even if you can get to the ad manager it too will often freeze the web browser works surprisingly well compared to everything else on here though it's far from an ideal experience with janky scrolling and web pages awkwardly scaling the other thing I noticed on here is that the browser the notification shade even the settings page look kind of old in fact I'd swear this looks like Android 7 which is peculiar because this device claims that it's running Android 12 since I clearly can't trust any of the claim specs I set out to test them so for example I wanted to test the 1 tbte storage by copying a bunch of videos onto the drive this is going to take forever I can't believe this Cable's working it's it's a big surprise cuz we've all month haven't been able to get any cables to work no matter what cable and power source we used it wouldn't charge or show up as a connected device the only way we could even charge it was through a USB current [Music] tester what we also couldn't download any music or videos since we can't download any apps we even resorted to Bluetooth File Transfer which also failed and would have taken forever and did you catch when I said it doesn't charge it doesn't charge using this charge port but don't worry because the iPhone 14 pro does come with wireless charging through mag safe I guess that means if I want to test the battery capacity I'm going to have to do it by tearing it down let's see what Mr we can uncover are you able to tell me what is exactly in here of course I can let's do it what we're going to get is an ADB device connection so that way we can talk to the system without listening to all the lies that it's telling us on the there's a lot this is Android 6 ah here we go Hardware SP 7731 GAA that is a spread Tri a what CPU so spread Trum is a Chinese s so men manufacturer so it's a quad core 1.2 GHz spread from s so yeah how many cores do you say this was supposed to have I think it was was like 8 core o LCD density is not looking good 240 that seems accurate actually well the display is only 480 X 1014 what yep it said it was more than that I'm sure it did that's not 1080p it's not hey Brandon what's up does this have an OLED screen um no you could see the blacks from the screen versus the phone not nearly as dark so I was lied to uh sure okay how much RAM 1 gab what of ram it has 1 gig of RAM but it said it had eight and the phone if you look it says it has 16 you can see down at the bottom the VM allocation total is saying 16 but it actually only has one so what's going on with the other 15 it doesn't exist this phone has been so slow it's because it's trying to fill up memory it doesn't have so what about the storage it's 16 GB total so essentially it has the amount of storage that it claims it has in Ram correct it's full of lies so I think the last thing we need to find out is the battery cuz it says it has like a over 6,000 mAh battery how can we do that we take it apart let's get it all nice and toasty there is not much in this phone it doesn't even fill the space they've got a very large gap around the battery maybe that's just in case it swells up despite our best efforts we are completely unable to unearth the truth about the battery's capacity even when inputting the battery model number in Google we got zero results so we actually don't know how about the battery is no safe to say this thing disappointed in pretty much every way imaginable but the most shocking part is how much this costs it's what it's $300 at that price it costs far more than many budget Android phones from the likes of Samsung and Nokia and frankly while it may look like an iPhone at a distance I mean you could get a used real iPhone from a few years ago for similar money and that'll be way better this thing is in every single way a scam it is the worst knockoff product I've ever seen used or could even imagine and literally burning $300 would be more useful than buying this probably better for the environment too thanks for faking this Mac address if you've owned any knockoff products yourself give this video a like and if you want to learn more about real products then you might as well subscribe I'm curious in the comments below what knockoff products that look like Apple devices you've bought and how that experience was was as bad as this this is even worse than I could have ever imagined
