HUGE Apple Unboxing Extravaganza 2021

this episode is sponsored by zen so i want to remind you about the purple iphone 12 giveaway i've got two units for subscribers like you all you got to do is leave your twitter handle down in the description and that's it this is your last chance to win one of these i have the iphone 12 purple regular and iphone 12 purple mini oh yes very nice and that's really what you're paying for right there oh my goodness gracious that is a oh that was close welcome to the mega apple unboxing extravaganza this is a bunch of new products from apple we have a new apple tv we have a new magic keyboard we have the new 12.9 inch ipad pro and of course we have the ultra slender imac the new 24 inch imac which comes in like a wild number of colors the unit i have in front of me here is in the blue which i think is the most popular color anyway i'm curious to check it out let's kick it off with actually one of the smaller items this apple tv i actually use apple tv a lot i have maybe four of these set up at my house different locations well the old model and apple finally made some improvements here that uh might just save my life because uh the remote on the current model has kind of drove me crazy a little bit like it's just with the touch pad and it's very easy to lose this one is still easy to lose but they just they changed it they made a little bit taller they changed the input method also we have 4k hdr on here you have the tv calibration stuff uh look at this a little advertising on the back for disney plus netflix the competitors of course starting with apple tv plus airplay is a nice thing to have from your other apple devices it works really well uh onto your apple tv if you have any of their audio products as well like the homepod i don't have any of those i do have airpods well anyway those things interact well also so this comes in two different storage configurations this is the 64 gigabyte model this is an expensive streaming device it's kind of unnecessary unless you're going to take advantage of some of that airplay stuff because otherwise you could look at the likes of roku and such that have more budget friendly options but this is going to have your typical apple finish and integration to it here is the apple tv itself that is a very nice you see there's no peel like that on the roku that's a that's like a couple hundred dollar peel right there as far as i'm concerned actually the back of it it all looks very similar we have our power port an hdmi port and then you have uh for wired networking you have an ethernet port as well another peel for you oh yeah it's very nice and that's really what you're paying for right there you get big apple logo right down there so glossy black on the outside matte black on the top this is what i am most curious about the new remote so it is fatter imagine that apple making a product fatter not slimmer and it's more robust to hold on to it's uh confidence inspiring dare i say you have your microphone button over here on the side a dedicated power button up at the top uh you have almost an ipod like click wheel situation going on so still touch sensitive but just different than the pad that they currently have and then your key buttons are over here as well for volume a mute switch and a back button it still charges over lightning so you're gonna have to have these cables around and accessible that's a little bit annoying but that's how they do it and some were surprised that this remote didn't feature any tracking similar to air tags or air tag integration because these are things that get misplaced quite frequently uh i'm actually considering with the later case brand to maybe make something for this remote to make it trackable i'm not committing to that but i'm gonna look into it either way it's already an improvement i think it's going to be tougher to lose just because it's fatter anyway also in the package we have uh what is this that's your power cable right there and do they give you a lightning cable or they just expect oh they do okay so you get a usb to lightning cable couldn't remember if they expected you to have that and that's just going to be used to charge up the remote all right now since this is an unboxing extravaganza it is time for us to move on to our next item i think i'm gonna go to the magic keyboard the new magic keyboard this one was kind of a controversial item because apple came out and said hey if you have the old uh 12.9 inch magic keyboard from the last generation ipad pro then the new ipad pro if you upgrade to this one right here it's crazy that this boxes they feel like they're the same way if you pick up the new ipad pro because you want a new display and m1 chip and all that you're gonna need a new magic keyboard as well because it doesn't really work on the old one people were like what are you talking about i spent so much money on the old magic i got to upgrade both every single time yes in order to accommodate this new display it got ever so slightly fatter enough so to throw off the tolerances on the previous version of the magic keyboard that's what this one here aims to fix it also comes in white so it's a little bit annoying i saw some people saying it kind of does work but it's just when you close it everything the fit and finish is not quite there if you use the new ipad pro 12.9 with the old magic keyboard what this does is it kind of gives you a laptop like experience with your ipad pro this one on the other hand looks like it'll work with third fourth and fifth generation so this this is the more accommodating version it will be backwards compatible because it has a little bit more room to work with now the one thing i should mention because i've i tried to go ipad only ditch the laptop by the time you get the keyboard case and everything going it can get surprisingly heavy like beyond macbook air territory and so that's something to just prepare yourself for you are no longer ipad light once you've added this particular component but if you need touch input if you love having an ipad and you want a keyboard to sort of give you the uh laptop like experience well this is a way to do it this white looks nice right now i'm a little bit concerned long term because it looks so clean oh so clean at the moment can it stay looking oh so clean i don't know all right so it has a couple different a couple different positions to be and i guess really only two that's open that's closed the ipad will fit on the inside of it this little section here you plug in usb type c the metallic connectors here will make sure to pass power onto the ipad itself it's a chiclet style keyboard there is a track pad there little trackpad the quick brown fox now because it's laying flat on the table it's got a pretty sturdy feel to it you don't get any type of angle typing angle it's very flat but because it's so thin it means your palms can kind of rest on the table and not feel any type of harsh edge so that's a nice little thing cool so silver it's got some silver and some white how is the bottom of this not gonna get messed up though let me place that down on the table i don't know i feel like it's got to at some point all right let's leave that there for a moment and get on to the ipad itself so the m1 chip makes its debut in an ipad and obviously from a performance standpoint this thing is going to be on another level you're talking about the same chip that you're seeing in all those macbooks that people are loving and surprised by the performance associated now you're seeing it in the ipad the other big thing here is the display it's now got all these little dimming local dimming sections attempting to mimic oled performance and actually before i even get into this box there's some people that are saying it's not quite on that oled level they're seeing blooming and things like this but that's for the pixel peeping at a later date either way uh probably a stopover technology for apple they i would assume they're gonna get to oled at some point okay so here is the ipad pro 12.9 this is the space gray color i mean if you've seen the ipad pro incredibly thin and light this one doesn't feel any fatter to me that goes to show you just how small those differences are one of the things i like about this tablet is the multimedia performance for me just sitting back watching content they put a lot of attention into the speaker performance which you don't see all the time in crazy slim and thin devices but this one actually sounds good to watch content for extended periods of time you have obviously your pen input can live up there if you want to or a pencil if you want to use the apple pencil we have our camera unit over here apple making all sorts of conversation around the ar future utilizing their camera units oh usb type c connector thank goodness something to remind you one of the few devices the ipad pro supporting usb type c from apple at least mobile devices i guess the laptops do all right also inside the package a little bit of paperwork here's your power brick as well as your type c to c cable to charge it up very nice let me boot this up real quick i want to check out this display it should be more vibrant no doubt about that oh another thing i should mention at this point this is the 12.9 inch model it got the new display but the 11 inch model which i've probably used more at this point did not get the new display so it's still the old technology old ips technology though based on some of the uh reports i'm seeing with this blooming stuff maybe some people are gonna opt for the old tech i don't see any problems with it now the way to experience the effect some are complaining about is on a black background with a bright some bright text or something that's how many are picking up on it but you kind of need the right conditions to see it we'll get there in a moment all right let's do a purple iphone real quick why don't we do the standard purple iphone 12 since we're covering so much ground now i'm going to keep this package nice and tidy for someone who might win this purple iphone because i'm going to give this one away oh wow that that is a very it's hard what is it like a lavender thing going on it's a lighter purple as far as purples go of course you have purple around the frame as well this is a bit darker the metallic portion and then you have this pastel style purple over here i think i mean it's kind of a nice look to it it's noteworthy because apple wouldn't normally uh take a moment at a different product launch and be like oh yeah we got an iphone in another color i suppose they've done that sort of with the red stuff in the past but just hey we got purple check out our purple anyway that's the purple if you were curious inside the package type c to lightning and well you know the story you know charge brick no nada but somebody is actually gonna win this so good luck to those of you playing all the subscribers out there who want a shot at it make sure to leave your twitter handle down in the comments and make sure to subscribe to the channel i have two of them to give away one purple 12 1 purple 12 mini all right i think it's about time in this extravaganza to make our way to the biggest unit baby the new imac which is well it's uh quite a departure from the old one this is the newest item of the new items i haven't used an imac extensively in a while but i'm very familiar with them i've used them in the past i used to repair them i used to upgrade them in previous businesses so i do have a history with imax this is the first time it's one size fits all there used to be a big one and a small one maybe they'll do a pro version eventually but for now it's 24 inches you can see the thunderbolt ports as well as the type c ports very simple i o over here there is a ethernet port but it is on the power brick portion of the power cable that's right there is a brick it's no longer integrated another topic of conversation i saw my pal detroit borg talking about that how he would rather have an integrated power supply but this thing is so crazy slim so i'm sure that had something to do with it i don't need a knife because we have the famous pull tab here we go you ready mo ooh that is very satisfying now again this is the blue model but it comes in about a thousand colors oh i don't know they're silver there's orange there's yellow there's so many different colors actually this is supposed to open up the other way oh that's the other item that many are mentioning the chin the no logo chin i i mean people were surprised by they say okay why you got a chin first of all it's 2021 your apple and then second of all if you're gonna have the chin where's the apple logo we're used to seeing it i think in it with this device they kind of did the opposite of what they did with the remote on the remote they're like okay let's make it fatter we don't care it can be fatter it's fine this one was like let's compromise whatever necessary in order to make it as slim as possible i should probably check the spec on this eight core cpu eight core gpu uh agb unified memory and 512 storage i think that's the base model you can spec it higher or you can wait for the pro one because they'll probably do that if you plan on video editing or and whatnot all right holy big box going on oh cool see the way that happened there this is the closed position i pull here and it triggers the movement of those other pieces bang bang oh man it's like a giant ipad on a stick i think i said that on an episode of lou later it actually that's exactly what it is it's a giant ipad on a stick just i could just like a little briefcase it's not that light though it's tiny but a lot of metallic components it feels substantial all right also in the package ooh look at the accessories in here color match keyboard typical apple styling but now we have the fingerprint scanner so white keys on a bluish aluminum bluish backing very slim charging over lightning once again let me just crack into this right now why don't i kind of nice to have the touch id right on the keyboard people on the desktop feeling left out everybody unlocking their computers on the laptops just with the fingerprint okay now we can do that there that's a nice little touch ooh look at the stylish cables as well just pop that out braided usbc to lightning i guess it's for this it matches the whole motif very nice same goes for the power cable now as mentioned they had to put the power brick onto the outside they weren't able to fit it into the actual construction in order to keep it super slim but the benefit there i don't even know am i in the camera right now i'm just talking am i anywhere my head's cut off right okay i should probably just get this stuff off here this this this look at this is like a mastery of product packaging a little slot for everything just folding paper in magical ways [Music] lovely i think i got everything out of that package now before i get to the main unit i just want to cover all of the accessories your apple stickers are in here the cable that i mentioned am i supposed to just rip it it's like a baby blue north carolina tar heels type look to it the mouse is also i don't use i don't ever use these but certainly stylish the power cable okay let's talk a little bit more about the power cable power brick so to make the device super slender you got to put the power brick on the outside that's a hotly debated topic but apple did something interesting with this they were able to integrate an ethernet jack so that you can still have a wired internet connection which many people with a desktop want and you can have it on the floor so you have fewer cables going up to your unit so that's kind of a nice little touch they also created this magnetic connector so if it was to get kicked uh it would pop out presumably uh i don't know i'll give it a little test i'll give it a little run see if that's how it works that seems less important on a desktop compared to a laptop where we've seen magsafe before but who knows where people are gonna set these up it's a nice little thing to have in the event that that happens and you don't have to watch your imac slam to the ground but yes to get something that thin you got to have a power brick on the outside it's uh that's just the nature of the thing at the moment there's also an extension cable included so you can get a little bit further away from the wall this is standardized even though apple's is a little bit flashy standardized three pin connector into here so you get a little more room to work with okay so here is the new imac as mentioned behold the slenderness of it all it's more unboxing discovery here we pull those tabs and then we pull down and then we pull up and it all unfolds wow okay there's a giant apple logo on the back so certainly we're missing it on the front but we get it on the back this is a this is a peel this is definitely this qualifies as appeal wow that is strange in person logo list front is a bit of a shock to the system if you've ever looked at an imac before there's usually a giant logo there i didn't expect it to be noticeable to me now i'm actually not going to complain about i kind of like the minimal approach to it but the chin does feel a little strange it has the color has the the baby blue but then you have the remainder with this white bezel it's kind of a funny look but the takeaway for me is more around the physical characteristics the dimensions than it is around any individual color just how i mean like let me just hold up this is an ipad pro the new 12.9 if i hold that up i mean you can see it ain't all that different it's not it's probably two two of these max it's very slim for an entire desktop computer it's slimmer than i think any monitor i own at the moment and it's got an m1 in there i don't know exactly what that was protecting and then i got more plastic over here and now we see the true blue coloring that's a very nice blue you know what i can get i can get behind that blue that is a dark it's a deep it's a dark and a deep blue oh and look at this another pull tab around the outside many poles all very nicely protected oh that was close all right so as far as ports it's just four type c connectors two of them thunderbolt would be nice to see a little bit of versatility i don't know maybe sd card slot something like that but anyway simple approach large power button over here let's check out this magnetic connector oh that's it how easily does it come out [Music] not that easily so i do not think it's a kick factor at all that's a strong magnet it's definitely not a kick factor oh my goodness gracious that is a it's a strong magnet they did in there i'll tell you what there's a strong magnet they did in there so it's just a convenience thing i suppose because of the way you have this small cable gap novelty of magnetic connection points they could have probably just done a bet some sort of barrel connector it would have been possible but this is certainly more fun especially when it's color matched oh and they also reworked the front-facing camera they've uh they claimed to have better video conferencing which is an area that's kind of lagged previously so people are doing a lot more of that you can see the microphone array up on the top over there as well very deep blue certainly all right so i went and collected some older versions of these refresh products in order to do a quick comparison see if i could spot the differences uh well obviously with the remote it's pretty easy to spot the differences now this is the thing i had to do back in the olden days actually i still do this to this day i put this super flimsy cheap case onto the apple tv remote so it's slightly less likely to get lost because in my house it's madness there's many people in there they do what they want and then i got to go hunt this thing down and i got kind of got sick of that so i purchased this thing off amazon but it's not the most fun to hold on to and it actually doesn't really fit the remote all that well but this makes it fatter so it can't slide between the cushions as much and i think this one also glows in the dark but it obviously removes the aesthetic of the thing now apple went ahead and just made theirs fatter so it's almost as fat as this one in the case now and i'm sure part of that has to do i mean it's not the components taking up the space i'm sure part of that has to do with people requesting such a thing and maybe the battery life is a little bit better but anyway that's your i'm gonna take this back out that's your design difference this thing was just crazy slender so taller fatter maybe ever so slightly more slender but a much bigger remote now the more important comparison here is right in front of me this is the new 12.9 inch m1 ipad pro and the comparison the closest comparison i had was the previous generation 11 inch accessible to me at the moment uh this is the 11 inch ipad pro previous gen though they kept the same display technology into the current generation 11 inch that one did not get the mini led technology so this is ips versus a mini led and for all the i mean it's not even a controversy for all the conversation around the blooming uh aspect defect the thing that people don't like about the uh performance on the mini led or at least they've been pointing out on a black background it is a superior technology from a contrast perspective i don't know if you can see it but to my eyes this is more contrasty it almost feels like oled now the only potential for problem that occurs is when you launch into something that happens to have a really dark area pressed right up against a very bright area now what happened on the old tech because you had fewer dimming zones is you would get a kind of grayishness to the entire black background near a particular section in this case people were noticing a glow around individual areas almost like a spotlight sort of glow effect now this is emphasized when you have the lights off if you're like watching a movie or something you can see here it's not really all that prevalent is it a little bit nitpicky yeah to a certain extent i understand these things are expensive everyone has a different take on how much that is going to impact or affect them it's not oled but i can tell you just based on this brief comparison it looks a lot more like oled from a contrast perspective and even with that blooming aspect for my use i still would probably prefer it over the old tech the old ips display which is just lacking a little bit of vibrance oled would be awesome maybe uh maybe next time around oh by the way i should mention i don't know if i mentioned this the keyboard case situation another topic of conversation because the magic keyboard for the ipad pro apple said hey it doesn't really work with the old version of the magic keyboard case for the previous generation 12.9 i happen to have the old version over here i don't know if they clarified later on they say well it will work but it's not exactly perfect it's pretty close to perfect now i can't speak to whether or not it's a safe thing to do with your ipad it doesn't quite click exactly as well it's very tight tolerances and this thing got ever so slightly fatter but look at it in the old keyboard case i mean it's in there i don't know if people are gonna feel compelled to buy a whole new keyboard case as well when it's just slightly less precise on the fit but i'll just show you the difference so that one it clicks down with a little bit less attitude with a little bit less clamp this one is just ever so slightly tighter it's very subtle but anyways it's worth noting if you're in the market also this white one is kind of terrifying to me i'm starting to realize that as i slap it down on different surfaces i can't imagine how this is going to stay this color but funny enough even if you look at the old darker color it's all kinds of wear marks and stuff i really wish apple would put little feet on the bottom of this keyboard case for durability purposes but i i presume they went for slimness at all costs okay the last major piece of hardware here we have is the new imac this is truly a style piece some have called it a style icon that's what kirk said it's a super slim nice little desktop with a tremendous amount of horsepower considering how tiny it is i mean it was the same thing we could say about the macbook air current generation macbook pro even the current mac mini anything with m1 in it it's it's just it's wild what they're able to pull out of it in these super slim form factors i was thinking of mounting mounting this up mostly as a monitor just because i mean it's hard to even find a monitor that's this slim and then you start to look at the prices i'm not gonna lie i didn't pay a lot of attention to this imac i wasn't really in the market for it outside of this channel and making this video but when you start to compare it to other displays that are that are as pixel dense as this and have no computer and have no m1 inside you're like oh my goodness you've got an lg product over a thousand dollars for a 5k display at 27 inches now this is not quite 5k but it's very close to 5k and it's in 24 inches so we've gathered around we're looking at it like damn that's some that's a pretty dense display over there it's pretty nice to look at i'll tell you what it is compelling almost from the display standpoint alone it is a very nice display experience uh it's still a tough purchase i think for matter many individuals i don't know everybody in here for example because cost wise you're looking at something close to any of those laptops and then you're like well wouldn't you if you had the same amount of power wouldn't you want something that's portable but the it turns out the conversation the competition here is actually more around display if you want a nice display to go with your m1 well that's how you get here it's a little less portable but it's still i mean kind of portable it's super it's one cable into it maybe some company's going to engineer a case and then kirk can just like slap this in there and and also be editing wherever he goes i remember the old days at ces where some people would actually pack these things up would find some sort of specialized bag for it because they wanted a bigger display to edit on once they got to the hotel room so i'm sure some people can buy these uh i say my main takeaway and this brief experience with it is uh being surprised by the caliber of the display 4480 by 2520 i would say my one uh i don't want to even i mean it's a criticism but it's kind of a foregone thing like it's obvious this is direct the direction things are going but i just wish there was like one usb a port just for some old peripherals audio interfaces all kinds of devices that still exist out there that utilize it because it's so clean to begin with that if you start going with dongles and docks you kind of spoil the product so just i don't know maybe one usb-a or even you've got the ethernet jack down on the power brick maybe throw usb-a down there as well i don't know it's kind of too crazy all right anyway the other thing here that's kind of nice to have i still don't know why it's no face unlock because you have the face unlock on the phone and the ipad and all the other products and windows has the face unlock with the windows hello that'd be really cool for to have a couple components there face id login wonderful stuff anyway it's not there but we have a fingerprint scanner which is a bonus and an improvement for a desktop desktop users feeling left out well now we sleep it and wake it up and touch id and we're in it's nice i take it it's a nice little bonus we go to sleep wake back up touch id or password touch id is more convenient and we're unlocked so it's a nice little touch there you have it it is a mega massive apple unboxing video featuring the new delicious imac m1 imac in blue available in a wide variety of colors if blue is not suitable for you we have the new apple tv that was featured as well with the new remote which is somehow maybe the most exciting thing for me because of how irritating the old one was so that's kind of nice obviously there's also the new ipad m1 ipad so much power in an ipad no mac os over here but man if you're into ios this is well or a tablet in general this is going to get things done for you that's for certain and the display is an improvement although any any new technologies not without its downsides we have the white keyboard case as well and then don't forget the purple iphones even
