- A lot happened this week! First, Marques and Andrew discuss the full story behind the original iPhone that Marques won at an auction for $40,000. After that, we try out a new segment that Marques has dubbed "Headlines in a hat" where they (you guessed it) pick out a few headlines from a hat to talk about. They go over everything from the new Polestar 4 to the Spotify redesign and some other quirky topics as well. We round it out with David calling in from Iceland to take part in trivia. This was a fun one!

I'm an Apple engineer and "gdlocal" is the name we use with internal testing software. For example, the MacBooks we have in our labs have a default user called gdlocal. I don't know the history or reasoning behind the name but I've seen it many times.
Don't lie. You are the guy who scammed Marques. I don't believe your words😅😅.
@@bipulpandey2115 And who is Marcus?
@@erickail8979 edited. 😅😅
True
@@bipulpandey2115 lol
Mac will never be forgotten. RIP to the best studio dog :(
wait what!!!!!
F
There should have been a segment about mac.
@@bipulpandey2115 sir, this is a tech channel
@@pyrofestimo I know that. But a 2-minute segment would have sufficed. We have been watching Mac for years.
I'm so happy that the whole team just keeps bringing up the $40,000 price tag
that's 1/8 for a robot arm like theirs, it's a lot
For those who wondering about 360p
MKBHD said :- " RUclips processing is taking longer than usual"
Thanks I was wondering just that
MKB360P
Okey. I was thinking about that.

I watched that yesterday and I now I miss all of the stuff we used to get with older phones, now all we get is a box and some stickers 😂
Me, scrolling through RUclips with my brand new fancy cardboard box
2007 original iPhone and 2007 video quality. Genius
I used to work at apple and can confirm GD local is a default naming for testing products
One thing I've heard from older people regarding sideview/rearview mirrors, is that it can be hard to switch focus so close to be able to see the screen, when it doesn't matter for a mirror since your focal point is still so far away
Last night, I ordered the Studio T-shirt and the Windbreaker. My subtotal was $69.00. After tax and shipping, my total was $83.69. I'm not proud of it, but I did giggle. Then I had a dream I was on the run from the police, and when I was waking up in my own bed, for a moment, still half-asleep, I thought "idiot! they'll find you in your own house!" and I spent a few seconds planning which window to escape through before I realized it had been a dream. Now you may think those stories aren't related, but for me it's been a privately, strangely entertaining last 12 hours, and I needed to share it. Hope you have a strangely entertaining rest of your day!
lmao quite the story!
Happy Easter Andrew! And I loved when his mom participated in the podcast! great printscreen can be framed or become a t-shirt 😆
Always waiting for the Waveform podcasts episodes!
Respect for the Kirkland sweatshirt Andrew!
Genuinely love the audio fades and adjustments in your videos so satisfying genuine eargasm.
I do not recall the steps involved, but early enterprise iPhone 1, 2g, 3g, and ipad enterprise deployments. We went to the retail store to pickup our orders.
Walking through the mall with dozens of iPhone and iPad every time a new model launched.
The initial Apple Enterprise setup was very wonky but all of these devices were tied to us ahead of time in some way.
I believe it started it with 2g, 3g, 3gs. 4, 4s etc
One drawback of camera based rear view mirror is that If the camera fails for some reason (could be due to high heat), you lost a mirror and you need to now potentially pay a lot more just so you can look at back. until that you cannot drive the car safely and potentially could be illegal too.
I don't think lack of a rearview mirror is illegal, at least here in America. However, I agree about the lack of safety, I used to work and drive for the postal service and basically having to rely on memory of what's behind you is definitely sketchy.
Thank you, Andrew, for talking about the Waze Android Auto redesign. I thought it was just me who was annoyed by having a harder time to find work/home! I don't feel alone anymore. :-)
Funny enough the last time I used it work/home were listed. Maybe just needed to like get used to my driving habits again? But glad it wasn't just me!
Also it seems now google maps no longer lets you sort searches by distance, only relevance and "for you", whatever the hell that means.
recommend watching with some beers in, much fun :D
Amazing episode :D
Andrew is such a troll with the assistant call-outs, I love it lmao
The iPhone was part of a special edition or limited release designed exclusively for the Chinese market, which included the "GD local rights" label as a unique feature.
I have bought the wallet to support MKBHD already. I had goosebump when you unbox the OG iPhone.
Same as here! Mine arriving in Australia on the 10/05/23
Andrew you were a part of the lucky few who were actually able to watch the Love is Blind reunion live after the 90 minute wait. We were told the reunion would no longer be live after waiting 90 mins and that they would get the video up later that evening. Welp...that didn't happen either lmao 🤣. Woke up in the morning to see the episode available then suddenly disappear and be told guess what?! Our fault again guys now you have to wait until 3pm to watch the episode 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So for many of us the reunion did not ever air "Live", it kept getting pushed back multiple times, until the following afternoon.
Antique furniture is a big thing. Plus it really changes the look of your home.
Same day recording as the IONIQ6 Auto Focus video right?
Edit: Also love the Costco sweatshirt that Andrew is rockin
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has the side mirrors MKBHD was talking about at 56:06, with the cameras outside, and the screen inside the car.
The talk of cameras instead of mirrors just reminds me of trains. Passenger trains quite often have cameras aimed at the doors mounted to the exterior of the train, and the driver can monitor the cameras from within the cab
Love that Colin & Samir promo! Great guys 🫶
I've always had Waze issues with giant black boxes over the road UI. It worsens when it pops up hazards that remove important driving directions from the top and again covers the road with non-transparent boxes. I either need to turn those warnings off or quickly try to dismiss them while driving.
With regards to the polestar rearview mirror thing. I could easily see a software update causing the mirror to bug out occasionally.
Polestar 4 still has a usual mirror. But you can switch it to the display. So you can still watch your rear seat occupants.
Omg thank you so much you saved me on New Year’s Day! Xoxo forever
I can't unhear Tina Belcher's voice from Bob's Burgers when Andrew talks.
Lutron Caseta shades work really well. I've had them in two homes and while you do have to replace batteries every few years they just work really well.
MK360P. Already listened to the Audio Episode lol.
My Tilt smart shades have never broken on me. I have 14 of them for 2 years going strong, no issues. Easy purchasing (one price regardless of size), and is solar powered (but I just charge them instead and it last ls months.
Tidal plays songs after a playlist ends. Their continuations are so good I thought I had put all of the songs in the list!!
I think I understand the printer thing, I guess that my printer doesn't get used maybe as much as others but I've had the same laserjet printer for probably 6 years? I've replaced the toner once and it's never had a problem as far as I can tell
Kirkland drip go crazy tbh 😁
That zoom @ 25:40. Editors are killing it!
I got a harddrive that can activate that phone. Nice windows XP installation from 2008. I could close the HDD to an ISO and send it over. Then you dd it to a new drive and plop it into maybe 32 bit computer (not sure how cross compatible that is anymore).
I want to know the weather in the morning? I pull up the blind and look out the window! Works perfectly every time 😅
Funny you jokes about the Apple dongle/headphone jack. I had the 4gb iPhone 2G and needed a special Belkin headphone adapter to be able to use non-Apple headphones. The headphone jack was recessed on the original model to push users towards Apple headphones 🙃
RIP Mac. 🙏🏽🐶
Rip bro...... 😢
Don't tell me, has he really passed away?😢
@@arnavtripathi1610 yeah, sad to say but he passed away on last Friday....
Whaaaattt
@@mon699 yeah... 🥺🥺
It also had a SIM card in it, so the SIM card could have been pre-installed for the person that actually bought it
Set up Rclone correctly, so that they have mounted a GDremote: to local as: rclone mount GDremote: GDlocal --daemo
Reach out for more info if you’re interested guys.
So glad Spotify undid this update for me. I had that feed thing for like 2 weeks and I really hated it. It's back to normal now and I'm so happy
44:45 - I currently work for a big global company and we still have WinXP machines scattered around the globe !!!
wow so early im watching MKBHD in 360p....i might wait and watch this later lmao
The Sushi analogy would make Spotify the Brazilian steakhouse of UX lol
My Friday therapy
"WVFRM PODCAST"
I acually saw that iMac today, and I'm like is this some sort of sick joke 😂
RE the shades & Google Assistant controlling fewer and fewer with time: I'm seeing that with my GE smart lights too - I have a routine for which ones go on (and what brightness) when I come home, but for the past few months fewer and fewer come on when I get home, and at incorrect brightnesses. I honestly think it's Google Assistant degrading... My Home Minis are definitely worse overall at responding appropriately and doing what I ask than they were when I bought them! Anyone else experiencing this?!
I remember i had a Samsung sound system then that came with a 30pin iPhone dock. Used it for my iPhone 3Gs then, good times.
Conveyor belt roast beef 🤣🤣
I remember last years April fools video, i cant believe such a integral part of the studio is lost. RIP mac.
They did a April fools video this time too. It was an MKBHD awards video
Back in 2009, my brother in law gifted me an original iPhone to use as an iPod, and after experience a refresh I received the activation screen and was only able to clear it once the phone was activated by AT&T-since it was the sole service provider. Perhaps the error is it needing a sim activation?
This is craziness, nothing else, unless you have a plan to start a program where you would buy items from years ago and speak about them in your channel. I love your channel, though Marques!!
GD is the initials of the company that made the cingular wireless SIM cards. If I had to guess it probably pulled that out of the SIM card since cingular isn't a thing anymore and since 2g isn't available anymore either.
Naaaaaa 360p for a Marques Brownlee production. I thought my phone was trippin. 😅
Andrew’s got that Costco drip. Anyone else remember from Lew Later?
Thumbs up for the Kirkland sweater!
David randomly in Jökulsárlón in my country of Iceland 🥰🥰
did you check what the name of the user account on the computer you used to activate the iphone? thats what itunes pulls from for the name on windows and macos
Imagine Marques gets the iphone, takes it out of the crate, shows it to the camera, and immediatly drops it. That's what I call "Copying Linus but you take it too far"
These podcast have become on of my favorite things to watch/listen to.
56:18 it surprises me that Marques does not know this, but there are quite a few cars that already have camera side mirrors, e.g. the Honda e had it for the past 4 years and it's optional on the Audi (Q8) e-tron and Ioniq 5. Also Mercedes offers it on some of their trucks.
I tried to jump on the Apple IPhone train when the IPhone 5 came out. Took it back for the S3, I've been a loyal Samsung customer since. killed me when the Note went away. I'm happy with the S23 Ultra now. It's like the best of both Note and S series + all in one. ✊🏽Customization for the W! Can't have my phone looking like everyone else's that has it!😂😂
One small request: can y'all timestamp the trivia questions to before the song? Not that tapping back 20 seconds is that horrific of an experience or anything but I'm guessing other viewers would appreciate it also. Keep on keeping on...
Could GDLocal be realted to the person in who's name the contract was signed. Or something related to the contract the iphones used to come with in the US.
Andrew my Spotify was like that a few weeks ago and I couldn’t stand it but it randomly updated back to the old and good format. I think they’re testing it on some users
Little pet peeve here, but can you guys put the episode number somewhere on the description, if not, the title of the episode? Please and thank you.
Are you guys going to talk about the Starship launch next week?
Could stand for global developer but kind of odd to have that shipped to production. Our default email is global developer and we have former Apple developers. Global generally refers to the extreme permissions afforded to a developer account.
So you can get a brand new Polestar 4 2024 for the same price as one of those first iPhones from 2007. I know which one I would choose! 😂🤣
Someone had already confirmed that the "Lucky you" sticker was there because it was purchased as a gift for someone right?
So could "GD local" be the name if the gift recipient, I have some recollection that you could do something like that when you order online, but not sure if Apple used to do that 🤔
Could they try using a old mac from when the iPhone came out maybe that will work to activate it
I have the new Spotify but didn't even notice because I don't scroll that far down :)
Bro what brand of shades are you guys using? Lutron will never break and last the rest of your life
My theory is it has to do with the old version of I tunes being run having been acquired through open source archives and someone having ripped and uploaded the source code of an installed copy which already was named, and it just automatically named it or something.
Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏻
For the low quality video usually they unlist the video before releasing the video so RUclips can process it full for max quality
link ?
European markets allow for side view mirrors to be replaced with cameras, and several models sold in Europe are equipped without side view mirrors. US legislature doesn't allow for that, yet. If you do not have a driver side external mirror, the vehicle isn't street legal.
Weren’t these manufactured by Foxconn in Shenzen? Shenzen is in Guandong province and the two letter code is GD.
Can you guys put a apple air rack sleeve on the MKBHD wallet plz? Instant buy after that.
Interesting! Cool video! ✌️
GDLocal, maybe Generic Device Local, because no network connection???🤷♂ "Local" is usually the user's computer on a network. I'm just guessing at the "Generic Device", but thinking that because the phone's never been connected to the network to validate the user's name. Hence, it could be a default name hard coded for phones that power up with no network connection.
Sounds like he’s stuck in the Spotify Music sub tab and just can’t get out, maybe frozen or a glitch in the UI
I work at a MSP and would totally buy a shirt that says "Printers Suck" LOL
Love is blind I love it.
I think it's hilarious that Marques had to go home to let a plumber into his house while the auction was on. Because private collectors who are rich enough to afford these with their wealth, as opposed to a company that intends to profit or make content off the purchase, probably never see a plumber in their life.
You guys should check the numbers on Cricket matches (IPL) live streaming, you’d be surprised
gdLocal sounds like something a Developer would use to name a service for something done in-house
Marques said yesterday’s price is not today’s price 😂
Highly recommend using your Spotify money and spending a few extra dollars a month for RUclips premium. It’s annoying to start up playlists again but in return, you get all the premium benefits, youtube music, movies, tv, etc. the best part about RUclips music is switching from audio to music video flawlessly, you can also listen to all those rare rips on RUclips of rare tracks or live concerts not available on Spotify. I had Spotify since the pandora days and RUclips music is better. Take the jump.
"Not Sponsored We Just Stan Costco" i thought this was stupid but I can actually relate very much
I miss you David.
❤️
trashcan macs are extremely popular with professional post production companies. they use 2013 Mac pros running 2018 Avid to make films and TV shows for 2026.
What service is David using with max 4g?
whoa publish press hat!
Why is 360p the maximum resolution in which I can watch this video
It belongs in a museum!
