iPhone 4S Unboxing! 7 Years Old Today #Helpful Post

what's up guys yeah another retro

unboxing for you I'm running out of

these to do this is one of the last ones

I'll be doing the iPhone 4s so today

marks exactly seven years since this

thing was released to the public it was

announced earlier on October 4th and in

itself it wasn't really a crazy big

upgrade it was in the best sense of the

word in s upgrade just like the 3GS

basically speed very minimal hardware

changes mostly just an upgrade with

people on an older phone that wanted

something a little bit faster than an

iPhone 4 but still I did want to unbox

this thing I do have some fond memories

with it unbox this thing on my channel

before and actually the day after this

thing was unveiled Steve Jobs did pass

away so it adds a little bit of a

sadness to this phone and now let's go

ahead and explore it's a blast of the

past another one I'm guessing this thing

does run Iowa 6 since it does have all

of the correct icons there and I did

originally shipped with iOS 5 we'll take

a look at that in a little bit it was

such a great OS iOS 6 only made it

better but it was very polished it was

so smooth it was like how this phone

should have remained frozen in time with

such great performance and so this is

actually the last iPhone with a 3.5 inch

display and I do believe this is

authentic I did look up the serial code

it says it hasn't been activated even

still has the magnetic label over here

so I think it should be good the actual

plastic looks undisturbed 16 gigabytes

this was the first iPhone to come in a

64 gigabyte flavor and like I said

earlier 3.5 inch display this was the

last I phone to do that and I like doing

this kind of stuff honestly it's like a

time capsule frozen in time and I'm

unfortunately I'm disturbing the tomb of

this iPhone 4s it's a collector's item

believe I got this thing for around $350

maybe closer to 400 they are going up in

value to anything with the old smaller

displays it definitely is going to be a

future collectible 3G and 3GS for sure

anyways very tough to open it looks very

good inside look at that that is

absolutely on

just from the initial impression I can

tell that it is not resealed it looks

really really good so this is the 4s it

did have the labels on the back for the

FCC Apple had a little loophole for the

Verizon ones or they didn't need to do

that on the iPhone 4 but they did have

to bring them back for this still one of

the best I think and most timeless

designs for an iPhone the stainless

steel band this was designed by Johnny

I've looks so great then you have glass

on the front and back definitely

something that the newer iPhones are

inspired by just a pure material

collection here no plastic whatsoever

look at that a little headphone jack

visible right there so yeah what a great

phone and the crazy thing is I still see

some people out in the wild using these

little tiny phones in them I do a double

take every time I see I'm like what the

heck what's going to see if it has any

juice left inside so the iPhone 4 was

the first one with the Retina display

326 pixels per inch this basically

improved upon a speed of the iPhone 4

you have a dual-core processor for the

first time ever it was a single core so

has the same 512 megabytes of RAM and it

looks like unfortunately this thing is

not turning on I'll have to bring a

charger up here and it's gonna take a

minute to charge up but I've just wanted

to talk about a couple things about this

phone it took a while for Apple to

perfect the white color on these style

phones I remember the iPhone 4 got

delayed and white for so long just

because the white color would yellow

with time but as you can see it's held

up so well over the time such a

beautiful design and even though it was

like glass front back fully exposed for

me personally it was a very durable

phone I've never cracked one of these

I've dropped them so many times they

really really do hold up an apples

classical design man it is so nice what

a beautiful phone I love love love the

white finish it's like a look at what

you got in the box with it so your

classical older Apple style headphones

actually kind of garbage didn't like

these made your ears hurts

dinner-table senator block these like

have not changed at all it was a decade

yeah and let's see if we got a little

tool with this one oh you did so you

still got that tool on the iPhone 4s

this is actually made with liquid metal

from Apple so it's kind of cool so let's

take a look at this real quick this is

my iPhone 4s on iOS 5.1 I believe you

can get it on a 5.0 I'm not entirely

sure though so this is the first time

ever that you can actually setup an

iPhone with how iTunes with the setup

menu on iOS 5 you did have iMessage here

and oh my gosh it looks so cute

you have the old bubble styles what a

throwback anyways I specifically

remember after buying this thing playing

a lot of Angry Birds on its doodle jump

this is when Apple Maps first appeared

to on the iPhone so you didn't have that

it was absolute garbage at the time if

you remember the YouTube application

really cool all around and then it got

updated with high it was seven and this

thing basically went to crap so I'm

guessing it'll be iOS 6 on here not too

much difference between 6 and 5

performance-wise both are still so great

so fluid honestly like just feels

amazing this firmware of this device

alright it's syncing and we should be

able to unlock your iPhone here very

soon I'm guessing it's running iOS 6.1

or something all right

we are activated so go ahead and skip

through all of this it's a very similar

still to today except Apple has added a

bunch of other steps in between so the

most iconic probably feature of the

iPhone 4s was Siri Siri was the new

smart assistant Apple has been working

on it for so long and finally they

implemented it into the iPhone and it

worked very well for the time I guess

sometimes there were server outages it

would stop working but for the most part

it did work

now the only thing Apple was being

unfair about was saying that older

iPhones couldn't run it and they they

were perfectly capable of running it's

actually I've made many videos showing

people how to install it on old iPhones

even the old iPhone original and I would

still run it hey Siri what's the time in

a Beijing right now it's 9 o 8 a.m. in

Beijing

my home pod well look at that old style

of Siri like she had that skeuomorphic

design the shadows extrusion looked

really really nice hey Siri how much

smarter are you now versus on the iPhone

4s I can't get the answer to that on

home pod nope

she even sounded way different back here

- oh by the way look at that it's on iOS

six or five the HUD for the volume was

actually transparent Apple went

backwards in time all that anyways

let's check out what we're running here

for sure I was six yeah 6.1.3 this is a

virgin mobile phone it's still in

brand-new shape so if I were to update

it what it would jump to I was eight

cool alright so as you guys know I was

six also very similar to five extremely

fast I loved how the app switcher looked

but I hated using it you'd have to tap

it and then X out of apps or - out of

them and then you were here you had your

music controls here you had volume

control and air play controls it was

pretty sophisticated for the time so I

did like that and to raise the

brightness you didn't have to go into

settings every single time so that was

kind of annoying

I think jailbreaking back in the day was

so popular just because of how much more

limited the phones were like you

literally had to go to settings for so

many basic tasks that made no sense why

you couldn't just throw it into a

control center or SB settings if you

guys remember that slide in from the top

here we have the Notification Center

with a plaid background looks really

nice that scheme Orphic design again so

another big thing about this - was he

performed it's obviously the s means

speed and this thing was twice as fast

as the iPhone before at the iPhone 4 and

7 times the graphical performance so I

can't run these games anymore but when

Apple initially announced this thing

they showed it with Infinity Blade 2 and

the graphics really really were great

for the time you know for an iPhone they

called it console quality graphics which

compared to the ps3 at the time I guess

was somewhat similar but no way was this

thing anywhere near as powerful as that

still though it was incredibly powerful

let's check out that Geekbench score and

that's the curse

running old firmwares is you literally

just can't by the way the search bar

instead of safari was separate just

those little things quality of life

updates the Apple had it nowadays it's

so hard to run a phone with an older

firmware you can't like install anything

so I have to get my geek bench scores

from Safari there we go these are the

eight venture scores we're looking at

504 from multi-core again this is the

first iPhone with a dual-core processor

so that's the first time that that was

ever possible that multi-core score and

290 single core from the iPhone 4 very

formidable step up this one also did

come with a camera upgrade as well

that's an 8 megapixel camera for the

first time the front was still 0.3 but

this was the first iPhone I can ever do

full HD video at 1080p at the time you

know it's way behind all the Android

competitors but I was going to take a

look at that camera compared to the

iPhone Tenace max so as you can see very

very different camera applications very

simple here you just had a camera and

video button now you have all those

other modes very effective camera

application not much has changed if you

really think about it over the years

let's oh let's see speed up which it

takes pictures one two yeah so you can

take like way more pictures in the time

that takes one on the iPhone 4s you go

into that video mode full HD at the time

look at that crop factor like you can

barely see anything you have to zoom way

out wide angle lens ugly tennis max is

so nice compared to it's just gonna get

an idea of some quality like right here

yeah it's very fuzzy and dark

backgrounds don't do very well noisy

let's get some greenery here no optical

image stabilization autofocus wasn't

that great even Wow that's quite the

difference from nowadays thang cameras

have gotten good on smartphones so

mostly the wide-angle thing is the

biggest difference for me and the much

better autofocus and this was one of the

first iPhones by Apple that they started

supporting software for an exceptionally

long time this one all the way up to iOS

9.3 point 5 and an age where Android

smartphones would become obsolete in

like two years

Apple kept this thing around for 5 years

and more or less I guess they left it

off on a decent note with

Weston nine point three point five

basically in a nutshell so the iPhone 4s

it was a great phone but if you're

coming from an iPhone four certainly not

worth the upgrade it's just a little bit

faster it was mostly marketing as it

usually always is in the case where

today the iPhone 10s comes out versus

the iPhone I think there's much more

difference there than there was between

the 4 and 4s at the time yet people

still always like to complain about that

kind of stuff regardless even though

this wasn't such a crazy or hype to

release still wanted to take a look at

it it's very nice to go back and see

what we were running back in the day so

seven years has passed and seven years

from now going to be taking a look at

the iPhone 10s seeing how old of a phone

it was but yeah anyways thanks for

watching guys just wanted to show you

this I love these kind of videos and

unfortunately I only have one more to

make with the 5s and then my retro

unboxings are pretty much done so thanks

for watching guys hope you enjoyed it

check out the other ones if you want you

further blast from the past peace

what's up guys yeah another retro

what we were running back in the day so

seven years has passed and seven years

from now going to be taking a look at

it was but yeah anyways thanks for

watching guys just wanted to show you

this I love these kind of videos and

unfortunately I only have one more to

make with the 5s and then my retro

unboxings are pretty much done so thanks

for watching guys hope you enjoyed it

check out the other ones if you want you

further blast from the past peace

hey guys so here's a question for you

who would win in this scenario Apple and

there are hundreds of Engineers tons and

tons of hours years put into iOS and the

security behind face ID or one taxi boy

in a quick passcode bypass on the latest

version of iOS 12 I'm gonna show you

guys another method and you guys will

not believe this this comes right after

the other one that was found just a

couple weeks ago it works on the latest

version of iOS 10.1 even the latest

version of iowa's 12.1 beta for the drop

today so check this out

this is a locked iphone Tenace max i'm

just gonna go ahead and place a call to

it from a different device and if you

find an iphone we have access to

someone's phone and you don't know the

number just ask Siri what's my number

and she'll tell you anyways I'm gonna

call it boom I have on a lock device all

of these images right here so these are

the resets I can go ahead and look at

those I can even send them to another

device what a loophole so this is on the

latest version I'm gonna show you guys

how to do this it's much easier than the

last version believe it or not so very

very minimal steps super easy to do any

iPhone as possible even the latest

iPhone 10s max so let's get down

ouch I hate when that happens let's get

down to it I'm gonna show you guys how

to perform this miraculous pass could

bypass and I hope it's fixed soon

because this is bad okay boyos so just

to demonstrate that again I'm going to

call this device and I've already set it

up to where the passcode is working as

you can see and here are those images

and I can go ahead and send them to the

device and I have a video in there so it

might take a little while but they will

show up on this device and you can get

the full resolution images so in the

last bypass you could only get a little

preview through the contact image this

one is way way worse okay just sent and

boom there you go so as you can see they

are all available how crazy is that

alright so my device is locked with

Kanye's passcode no face ID is enabled

I'd also like to show you that I am on

iOS to open up a point 1 which is the

current public build and I'm gonna go

ahead and lock it and okay as you can

see face ID is not searching for my face

so you do need to call the phone if you

don't have the phone number it's very

easy to discover it basically just ask

Siri to call your phone or a

number Acer recall three six zero nine

nine nine nine nine nine nine okay just

like that it'll call your other phone

you'll get the phone number and then you

can go ahead and call it so once you

call it

select message and then select customer

all right so you're gonna get to this

screen hang up on the other phone and

then it might not work right away but

you need to activate Siri

hey Siri activate activate voiceover

alright so with voiceover on go ahead

and select the side button to turn it

off and then select on the camera icon

and then you want to hold the side

button to activate Siri but also double

tap on the camera button pretty much at

the same time here we go so hold it and

double tap

so that time didn't work do it again you

have unlimited tries here so hold it

double tap you'll know it works when the

background goes black so once again nope

one more time one two there we go so it

went black just now hold the side button

and you're now on a black screen so

start swiping to the left till you get

to photo library double tap on that and

you'll get here so select this little

dash right here and swipe to the right

go to recent photos and then you have

your recent photos and then just double

tap on them and they show up right here

so the cool thing is hey Siri disabled

voiceover well not cool the dangerous

and very very bad thing here is that you

can disable voiceover and then go ahead

and send them to yourself like hacked or

pranked I don't know what we want to say

here but you can go ahead and send the

photos to yourself and they send in full

resolution and you can keep redoing that

so now when I call again my photos I

believe sometimes they still appear but

you can redo the process as many times

as you want it doesn't show all the

photos but it does show recents and

stuff so as you can see there is that

and wow what a hack

so yeah this does work on top 10.1 I'll

show you briefly that it does work on

12.1 beta 4 as well so this is a freshly

updated today and the same thing locked

without face ID alright so I'm going to

recall here and message custom once

again hang-up go activate voiceover

doesn't work sometimes right away it's

weird like Siri glitches there we go

activate voiceover okay camera icon and

double tap goes black in the backgrounds

and start swiping photo library select

this little icon right here and then

start selecting the photos how crazy is

that you can select them right here and

then go ahead and send them to the

device if you want and there we go I

just got all the photos from this device

so there it is the iOS 12 point 0.1 and

12.1 passcode bypass another one was

found I first saw I've never thought

we'd see a node one of these again but

that is so crazy

so do check the video out down below

this was found by the same guy as the

last one as far as I know I heard that

he was a taxi driver in his free time he

like literally messes with his device

and finds all these crazy loopholes so

very very cool that something so

advanced can still be hacked by such

basic little things it really puzzles my

minds thanks for watching guys hope you

enjoyed the video use a responsibly

peace
