This phone had a rough start. Nobody wanted it. Same goes for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS max, They were slept on.
No not the crunch

2:50: best transition to a sponsor message I've ever seen :O
Ik it was so creative
I agree
Yea 😅🤣
LTT: finally, a worthy opponent
@@quantasplay lmao he has really good segues to his sponser
You can use 3utools to see if any serialized parts has been replaced like the battery, camera, etc Also apart from the logo on the back on the LCD flex cable you can look at the connector of the LCD, the original display have a 3d barcode, they come in either square (LG) or rectangle (Toshiba)
Hi,
Just wanted to say, he probably knows about this, but does never explain in detail this kind of stuff. Kind of the same way he only presented the iCopy something like 4-5 months after he got it. I think apple has gotten so powerful to make you miserable with ease they are scaring people with legal whereabouts. I don’t know especially about 3u tools, but i’m positive apple doesn’t like it being around for free.
Anyways, I hope you’ll have a nice day, and thanks for the info regarding different factories/serialization :)
That check looks funny on my 6s.
I did a housing swap and battery + screen replacement :D
(Cracked screen and scuffed housing, so I bought a water damaged phone with intact screen)
2:49 love that sponsor slide in
Ikr it’s so cool
I liked it, it was creative
That was pretty smooth.
My wife’s iPhone was having issues about three years ago. I took it to the Apple store and they ended up replacing it on the spot.
I took it back the next day because the pictures were blurry when you took them. To my surprise they told me I had a counterfeit iPhone ‼️ I did not leave until three hours later until they agreed to replace the phone with another one. It was a piece of tape over the lens inside the phone.
Sometimes you can’t even trust the Apple store.
No way apple gave you a fake phone what the fuck
@@justagirlwithamustache9618 Euhm, if a random guy on the internet tells a story, you know it's Always true. Trust me.
@@Ipsissimus source:trust me bro
It could have also been an iPhone run through the eBay GSP, who knows
Becomes more plausible when you realise it happens in the jewelry market as well
I always enjoy your videos! This one was great! Thank you for the sneaky slide in on the sponsorship that was creative and I fell for it! Awesome first time I watched a sponsorship in a video
I mean. I was kinda angry at Apple, due to their policy of putting serial numbers over everything, but this is definitely a scam. The display, the port, the scratches, the battery, whatever else could be downgraded and even sold at higher price than an original in a shop? That's outrageous and I can understand Apple battling this.
While I disagree with people selling products as new, when they are Refurbished (as that is actually a scam). I still disagree with apple not selling real parts so that people can repair their phones with genuine parts. There are plenty of people skilled enough to take apart a phone and repair it properly. Denying access to the parts is just unnecessary (And ultimately leads to more fake parts on the market).
@@blaster112 from what i have heard they will start selling parts to regular people in some time. but yes from iPhone 12 onwards

“I found the guy’s fingerprint and I’m gonna run his DNA later”
Mans going full on Holmes on this dude lol.
Also that’s screen was so yellow, it looked like it had mustard or yellow paint something applied on it :/
It looked yellow because it might have nightlight on
@@daniyalkhizar Could be. The display could have also not been calibrated for white balance. I'm no expert but that's my running guess.
@@daniyalkhizar my iPod had an LCD screen and when night shift was on I made the warmth 100% and it still wasn’t as yellow tho…..also night shift give more of a brownish hue, this is a straight up yellow tho……
@@randaranatunga7259 that makes sense
I randomly just started watching your shorts when they started poping up but once I subscribed, it's been a game changer. Thank you for giving all of us amazing content and letting us take a look into the phone.
Can you please do a waterproof test after installing one of those “WATERPROOFING SEALS” after a screen replacement??
Bro it’s just gonna cause damage or do nothing I fix iPhones to and Ik what would happen 💀🤦🏻♂️
DIY version: Buy waterproof iPhone, break screen, send it in to get fixed, throw it in a pool.
Lol,you're weird
@Hot Cheetos Water resistant
@Hot Cheetos they’re actually are.

Aww dang I got Phone Repair Guru’d with that ad.
This idea of doing such a creative scene to promote something is 🔥🤣
0:25 those are the best ratings ever
Most of the stolen phones get send and sold to China, there they strip them for parts and have to equipment to reprogram serial numbers so the parts are working normally in iOS.
An authorized distributor is also not a guarantee, here's my story and how Apple support recognized this problem but with a catch.
Last month i bought an iPhone 11 new (in my country Colombia all iPhone models are sold out except the iPhone 11 model) they go for about $500.
This was supposed to be a Christmas present but decided to test the phone first before wrapping it up.
Like you said, the seal can be faked, replaced and the authorized distributor had tampered with the phone, at first it looked like a faulty swollen battery the phone didn't turn on and went in a bootloop when plugged in the charger.
The back of the phone had a fingerprint on the Apple logo this was also what was alarming to me.
I brought it in with another Apple distributor to claim warranty, after looking up the serial on the Apple website it looked like this phone was never been activated before so it looked legit.
The other authorized distributor checked the serial number and told me that the warranty had been activated 4 weeks before my initial purchase, which was odd...
Visually the phone checked out ok except for the swollen battery that pushed the screen slightly outwards on the top.
But when opened he found and old wrinkled and half swollen battery inside with scuffmarks etc...
The warranty was denied, i was furious and contacted apple about this and Apple Support on Twitter has told me literally this: "we are not responsible nor do we take action against authorized distributors that tamper with devices, our responsibility ends where they purchase the phones to be sold"
I filed a claim in small court right after that against the distributor who sold me that phone, 14 days later the judge ruled in my favor and had to refund me in full.
sorry that happened, congrats on your near perfect English! you write way better than most young Americans these days. Are you a lawyer by any chance? here in Mx iPhones are abundant but super expensive and I’m having a hard time cos people are so lazy with answering questions about something they’re selling. They lie a lot, too.
1:40 the box is different because it comes from a different country and sometimes chargers will be different depending on what plug your country uses
Iphone xr screens are actually made by 2 different manufacturers, toshiba and lg. Lg screen tend to look a bit warmer compared to toshiba ones. Judging by the square qr code on the screen flex cable, the wish xr screen is definitely made by lg. Toshiba panels have a rectangle qr code.
2:38 lmfaoooo I died when he said “these are probably fake” (throws them away)
Yeah the way he threw them away got me lolll
rip
I really liked the intro part with the voiceover and still love how talk while reviewing the device instead of doing a voiceover (I know you said you didn’t like doing voiceovers, your style it great!). Keep doing what you’re doing!
Edit: the transition to your sponsor was so clean.
Bruh that has got to be the smoothest sponsor transition.
Also, do eBay next!
Sir would be more respectful than bruh.
@@ReadTheBible8 Changing your pfp would also be more respectful, instead of having to see your feet. So i guess we are tied.
@@ItsDaniPlays I guess so. Have a good day.
@TFUSION Nope. Also it's *your.
@@ItsDaniPlays they did end up changing it
@ 0:52 When you first unwrapped the shipping plastic,I thought they accidentally sent you a Kilo🤣🤣
I have a feeling that since there's a market for genuine iPhone parts in the repair industry,
they likely used the left over bits into a working phone to sell and make additional money.
I'd say it's better than throwing them into landfills, but it shouldn't be marketed as an iPhone, or at the very least other than a refurbished _n%_ iPhone.
Lol they'll be showing too much hardware notifications
I really like this style of editing. I’ve mainly seen your short videos, but I think I’ll be sticking around for the regular ones :D
Hey man thanks for doing this kind of vid. It really gives value for us consumers. I just bought a “brand new” xs max last May. It was my first time owning an iPhone so i havent had any familiarity with whatnots/etcetera. I just realized that there is something wrong with the box just by watching a lot of iphone unboxing and iphone repairs like this. Please do a video about how to spot fake iphone box from original. Last question, does the sim card tray of that phone has an IMEI code? I read that genuine iphones have that. Also, did the earpods has serial number? Thanks a lot man! Ur videos are improving and im learning.
One thing I love wish for is buying cheap lookalikes and adding modifications on them because me and a few friends like to create short steampunk/ Sci-Fi stuff and they can be really cool bases for them
This was just too perfect of a transition for a sponsored product I’m not gonna lie. 2:50
I like the way you snuck that ad in there. Very creative!
6:27 man had to switch races to pull a battery
Big fan of your shorts you post, first time watching a video and man your video edits and quality is dope !!
I like how the box says opened by customs lol great packaging 🤣
I actually got a samsun note 9 from blackbull laste year
The phone was refurbished but it workrd great so far
No fake parts
And the warranty works 100%
Good experience
Nice, as if the return policy works(JK)
Keep making more of these longer videos, I enjoy your stuff
Hey I was wondering which app you used to test the device^^ great video by the way :D
Can you do back market and plug better tech. They sell pre own or refurbished devices!!! Also eBay!!! Plz thank you for the awesome video open and give honest reviews! 🎉
6:54 catchy beat...
Wow your videos are so much better! I like it when stores get exposed for scamming so people know where to buy their phones
"I found the guy's fingerprint and i'm going to run his dna later"
That ad segway tho! One of a kind, well done.
idk about others, but the spank sfx was too loud imo

I have watched your Amazon refurb & Best Buy marketplace videos. Extremely helpful, because I'm considering buying a used iPhone (unsure if I'm getting a 11/12 or 13 mini).
I saw GameStop is selling refurbished iPhones. I would greatly appreciate you reviewing their refurb iPhones. I've seen/heard mixed reviews on non-phone materials from my son and online reviews. New subscriber.
3:27 To Skip Sponsor
Your 'sponsored message' was so smooth, I actually watched all of it
Great video! What’s the app used to "run a quick diagnostic test" ? Thanks! :)
I want to know it also
The video quality was absolutely SPECTACULAR! You surprised me with every new camera angle and that new background music. Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a bit of an iPhone repair enthusiast myself, I had to pause the video and tell you how much I’m enjoying it, and how sad I am that there’s only two minutes left.
Very cool and informative video bro! I didn’t know about the QR CODE and apple logo on the housing
3:07 diarrhea repair guru 😂
Aye someone noticed 😂 put a lot of work into that
@@PhoneRepairGuru can u try make ur own phone plzzzz
@@PhoneRepairGuru lol
0:52 that looks like a bomb not gonna lie you should've also gotten an alcoholic wipe to see if the apple logo on the battery will go away to check if the battery is genuine.
What app you test? 4:24
By the way you can replace only the glass on every samsung phone (excluding the z flip / fold). You can also remove only the display without needing to replace the frame and other parts you might replace repairing the way you do. This is all much cheaper but you'll need more skill and a bit o patience.
what app did you used to run the diagnostic test on the iphone?
I bought one of these, yellow 128 gb version. Although it was the exact same product, it was described as refuebished. Paid 270 dlls. And the screen quality is a lit better than the One you tore apart.
Can't say I didn't see that coming, though it was better than I thought lol
Should look the logic board over and see if it has any new chips or if it is entirely rebuilt
Excellent video, great editing!
7:20 "the glass will break a little easier because it's not the original apple glass" actually it would be stronger o don't know an iPhone IV seen without a cracked back, front or both🤣🤣 there glass is weak
Loving this long form videos!
One thing good about WISH is their refund policies, Just contact WISH, not the seller and send them your video as your proof. The context is that you bought new, not refurb. Their normal policy is to refund you completely and they won't ask for the phone so no shipping costs to you. I have had this happen with replica watches through them. (Almost all WISH watches are replicas.)
True, buying anything branded on wish thinking your getting something authentic is pretty idiotic. Thats the #1 place for faked shit including sneakers.
7:29 and now you give them the idea 😄
Just curious. What programme was that that you used to check everything out on the phone at 4:16 Thanks again in advance!!

Where do you buy your phones off of?
I’m trying to start doing phone repair but don’t know where to find broken phones.
I love your content and you inspired me to start doing this.
4:25 what’s the app name pls ?
Very good bro. keep it up!!
I love how he casually throw fake items away. 😂
I also noticed how the notch on the paper with the sim ejector is the iPhone 13 notch that means they got it from a iPhone 13 and was definitely re-seald
U could have gotten a brand new iPhone 11 for $500 from apple themselves
Sometimes the colour tone is cause of eye protection mode which can be switched on
Might as well just buy parts and make it yourself
Who teach you how to fix phones??? Because you incredibly amazing st fixing thems!
“I’m gonna run his DNA” I’m scared of what u can do
Me too 😥
Thanks for your efforts and sharing 👍🇬🇧
To be sincerely honest in my humble opinion without being sentimental and of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my opinion but rather looking into serious matter with perspective distinction and without condemning anyone's point of view,i honestly think and believe that i have nothing to say.

Love the editing on this one!
6:06 LMAO
You don't need to open the phone to check if it is new or not.. You just need to check the serial info on Apple website and it will give you the date of purchase and the warranty info!
The iPhone has an repaired drop damage and is sold as new. Never buy at wish. 😂🙈
Wish are always overpriced for ntg. Especially for refurbished products. That's why i would never buy from them in a life time. Don't know how they come about and got to be so popular. I always hear complaints about them but never knew it was true
Love the editing of this video
Congratulations to the people who found this comment, LOL!!🏆🏆
2:48 that transition is a masterpiece
Cool
Wow he actually saw my comment congratulations to me
I guess the text has some diffrence in length depending on the region. The text on my iPhone XR box is even longer than on yours. And It's definitley a genuine box with a genuine phone...
cool
How did u comment before it was released ?
my dudes a half hour earlier then all of us just now getting a notification
How 34 mins ago
how bro Lol
How did you comment before this was released!?
That’s the most amazing sponsor transition ever😂
Great Vid, But you should have checked for true tone before you opened it to see if the display was replaced
I did
Ok that's good 👍
Had been waiting for this one♥
Likely taking authentic screens and selling to vendors as replacements for cracked screens.
Love the "What's this?" transition to the sponsor! Lol
2:46 bro that sponsor was so smooth
The text on the back from apple has a french text too and the wish one doesn't but I think the english text is the same
Your videos have a very great quality, new suscriber ;).
Always having a phone repair guru marathon when I'm eating hahahah i learn a lot from this dude..
We got the package is always satisfying
The difference between the boxes is pretty simple the only difference is that on the wish box there isn’t the Spanish version of the text but the English version is the exact same
Make more videos like this.. its very informative and interesting 👍👍
Great Video Phone Repair Guru 👍🏻
