i wanna see a video of you explaining every singe detail of the internal apple apps
Same! :)
I guess with enough demand I could do this, although the video would prolly be 20 or so minutes in length
@@DongleBookPro not to say that's what everyone wants, but that's exactly what I want
@@DongleBookPro that would be great, especially since so many internal apps are confusing as hell
@@DongleBookPro Yes!! That would be so interesting! Even if it lasts 30-40 min...
It's so unreal seeing so much unused space inside an iPad! That's a really cool prototype.
I think it is because the sides are sloped, you cant really put anythinge there because it is so thin.
It's not actually as unused as it looks, the space is partly reserved for the display's components that are on the display assembly part.
"Apple, please scan the code and see whose iPad this is"
As someone who works there and is in posession of a lot of prototypes all I'm gonna say is that will likely get somebody in a hell of a lot of trouble and likely fired lmfao
And probably brick the device as soon as it reaches network
@@PumpedSmartasslol
If you truly worked there and had prototypes you wouldn’t be legally allowed to discuss that here 🤫
@@billypeterson9284 tbh I dont think the RUclips account they're using is connected to their main socials, as to not reveal their irl identity
@@billypeterson9284 you know NDAs expire right
Thought by your editing style and presentation you were some big youtuber I had never heard about, but 4K??? Insanely underrated stuff.
Somewhat concerning that it has a "brick device" button in the settings lol. Don't accidentally hit it 😂
That would most definitely suck
always dump iboot first to have a last effort to unbrick it later
The button can also be remotely pressed by Apple.
lol that would suck if a hacker had access to that
That's nice! Always awesome to see InternalUI and its plethora of testing apps
I miss the original iPad. It was hands down the best iPad design for ergonomics. It was so nice to hold in the hands. The square edges, the rounded back, the screen bezels to rest your thumbs, it was pure perfection!
so true i refuse to upgrade past the home button era, but still even then newer models have minimum bezel and maximum screen mess ups from your fingers 😭
@@iwasthefirstgoofpaste LOL. What an odd life choice
@@iwasthefirstgoofpasteiPad Pro 2017 (last with the home button) has even **less** thumb room on the side bezels than the Liquid Retina Pro’s
@@yy17782 ipad 9 had a home button which came out in 2022.
@@fbnmndz yeah. Last of the pro’s, not that entry level model they’ve had forever, lol.
As a 1st gen iPad owner, I am still salty how they screwed it up on purpose by giving it 256MB ram instead of 512Mb like the iPhone 4, and by removing the FaceTime camera sometime before production.
that's apple. user first.
Plus, it stops at iOS 5.1.1 when it should at least be iOS 6.1.6 or iOS 7.1.2.
7.1.2 is heavy for that device.@@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516
@@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516its the 256MB ram, and even then it gets the software support of the touch 3, which is much more underpowered. it should have gotten 6.x regardless of the missing features
The iPad was released before the iPhone 4
dankpod's set is looking a little different today
Armin the nugget!
LMAO
No PkCells?😱
Dang, didn’t see that coming😂😂😂
HEY. THATS MY DADS NAME.
this channel is so undersubbed! You got a new fan!
Internal apps video needs to happen right now.
im fascinated by internal iOS stuff, so i would be super stoked to see a video going through every app! :3
something i've always kinda wanted to personally do, but prototypes are few and far between lol
3:36 - “Brick Device”! Now there’s a feature you definitely don’t want to fat-finger!
They probably have an ‘Are you sure?’ prompt.
I still have iPad 1st gen with 32gb cellullar with the original box. Cant wait for it to become rare.
The reason why the ram test app was not aligned correctly was because it was made for prototype iPods and iPhones.
i just like seeing old versions of devices/software
there’s still the possibility apple was actually using this iPad to test future iOS builds until they planned on discontinuing support in iOS 5, hence why it had all of its internal apps, on iOS 5, honestly just a theory tho
So I *think*, given where I go it from, an engineer just continued daily using it until 5.1.1, which is awesome since it has a later build, although I would have loved to get one on 3.X
I love this channel! There are so many interesting things to learn :)
Please set your focus settings to manual. Like 20 - 30% of the video is out of focus because of autofocus. It's just a one switch (even if you are using a phone to record)
That settings screen brings back memories, bro. 😢😢😢
I remember I bought an iPad 2 on eBay and got it for a good deal. I was so surprised of how advanced it seems to be to me. It’s crazy how much technology has advanced in 10 years. I wonder how things are here in another decade from now
could you please do a app by app video, please? that would be really cool!
I still use iPad 2 as a book reader.It's still in perfect condition and the battery shows no sign of giving up,its a shame not much else works well,everything else crawls along.
Should be fine with playing back encoded 480p movies. My late grandmother had a Gen 1 chock full of DVD rips.
I really thought this was a dankpods video honestly
Man.. This interface and icons is soooo muuuch beautiful and authentic than what we had since iOS 7...
Damn, are those bezel sizes the same as the original iPad? They look massive.
Yes, its exactly the same as the production cellular iPad 1st gen, probably you can easily install production iOS too.
I always wonder about that !! Thank you for uplode this video!! :))
Nice video
I really want a long video so u can go deep into every single one of those apps
4:21 did i just actually hear him say gooey???????
awesoooome channel bro 💜
cool prototype bro! you should replace the battery though! just create a sticker with the logos from the dvt battery to make the new one look legit!
The thumbnail makes me think this is gonna be a Dankpods video or something
That was the dot connectors on modern iPads before the dot connectors
literally a Dankpods thumbnail !
Qr code wasn’t around in 2010? Was out for year’s earlier 😂
Remember Apple didn't start using "iOS" until version 4.
old youtube app, no ads good times
the beginning of gen alphas worst nightmare and this guy has it
is it possible to preserve these ipas? I'd love to try them out myself
3:24 if you want to depress the owners dev ipad then click brick device
Are you eventualy going to take out the expanded battery?
Yes! Unfortunately this was my first time opening it in awhile and thus found the expanded battery, has been removed since
The fact there's a "Brick Device" button 😂
1:34 my dad used to have a cellular iPad one, no difference.
How did you acquire such a confidential item?
Pls give me a shout out
This one was saved from being destroyed and it was sold on eBay or something
I might have seen the “development team” sticker tag on an old iPad in a bucket inside a flea market. (Except, the sticker tag had a blue label instead of golden yellow shown in this video.)
I like the antenna band being grey
How do I get the spinning iPhone app?
Is there anyway you can dump the ‘scouting’ app, I’d love to get those floor plans out of it
Hi, I am one of Apple's early devs and the qr barcode on the back was one of my co-workers. lol how did you find this
ok Pupgamer434
Nice! Got any other prototypes?
Well, that's awesome.
THAT is incredible
Nice!
We’ve come along way thank God 😂
3:08 sounds familiar (did anyone jailbreak their iPhone once?)
Back then when the UI was beautiful
This was so cool! Hearing you talk about it was genuinely painful though
Steve Jobs likely also used that prototype unit at some point! :)
wow, i didn't know about this
The internal apps are the best apps from apple😅
Dang it, saw the thumbnail and I was about to say, how come dank pods took away the green ipad case?!
The keyboard accessory makes more sense if they had a landscape view originally
Hey man, do you have a ferrite core on your finger? Fresh out of the power supply.
Very cool overall
I saw a setting called brick device
I have the same exact ipad in very good condition
Prototype or no
0:59 "And in 2010, that technology wasn't really around"
From QR code wiki page, first sentence..
"A QR code (short for "quick-response code") is a type of two-dimensional matrix barcode, invented in 1994, by Japanese company Denso Wave for labelling automobile parts."
Please don't just say something because you think it makes sense. This took 7 seconds to fact check.. there's no reason you couldn't have fact checked your script before shooting.
Haphazard videos like this do history a grave injustice.
He said “wasn’t *really* around,” simply meaning it wasn’t super popular yet.
If it existed, it doesn't mean it was widely used
please make really long vid for the apps
Amazing it was able to be smuggled out from the testing center
QR codes were invented in 1994. Apple did not create the idea in 2010 to track internal assets because QR codes "weren't really around" yet. 0:58
what photos are on it?
The ur mums iPad in the closet got me cracking up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How was this updated?
I would think a internal ui build would not update
Could you just update from old internal to new internal.
I would think trying would just reflash stock iOS.
I think it was just via continued use from an engineer, not super certain for older builds, but anything newer needs to connect behind apples firewall to update
@@DongleBookPro but wouldn't they have a new device that is closer to retail for continued development. Although honestly it is more interesting that that device is on iOS 5 compared to an older one as there probably are a lot less internalui of ipads
nuance dragon recognizer 👀👀
Looked the phone number up on the screen that tells you to call someone if found. It is or was the phone number of Evelyn Sell at Apple Computer. Can't find any info on them, at least yet. Maybe they were an engineer at apple or responsible for asset handling?
I still have the iPad 1 but it is taking a few days to charge to 1%
sounds like the battery doesn't want to battery anymore
@@RWL2012working now it lasts 3 hours on
Interesting the OS has a Compass app, which you'd not get on the iPad unless you copied it through jailbreak from a 3GS
My iPad 1st Gen is on iOS 3.2.2 currently
How many years did you work at Apple
I have an iPad 4 64GB wifi+cellular in Factory Condition !
I think I might have a prototype ipad
Do you
My Grandma's ipad
bruh that refresh rate
Carrier settings should be available in standard iPad. I must Jailbreak my all devices to have options which I see normal in Android.
noooo this guys last upload was 1 year ago
I thought the PCBs of Apple Prototype devices are red
ipad pro?
Holy lithp
Duuuuude now RUclips lets you scroll full RUclips videos like shorts except longer…
DankPods would like to know your location.
The overhead camera is quite shaky and frequently out of focus
*dankpods would like to know your location*
I miss the old school Apple logo
Can it run doom
I was thinking about getting an oura (or whatever smarting it is) but it looks ridiculous.
Lawful Good Dankpods
i want to see ios 3 ipad
The battery seems swollen.
qr codes has been around since 1994 😊
When he said "this probably looks different from you're mom's IPad in the closet" was so funny to me because she has the 1st generation iPad in her closet😂
