For people who didn’t watch the entire thing: he has a “used” phone not a fake it was opened and then resealed and got sold while being listed as “unopened” it’s a real iPhone 3g just open box
@@thorbat depends on the pricing. Maybe if it was authentically unused then they could sell at a higher price where if it was used the price would drastically decrease because then we wouldn't know what's been done to it.
The way they do it is they take plastic wrap that you would have in the kitchen and they use a hairdryer which then shrinks the plastic wrap and pulls it together and if the seal on the box is a smooth seal and not jagged like it was on the 3GS then it’s factory sealed from apple or brand new
It’s not a scam. The protector was in a bad condition like this in other unboxing at the time. Also it happens sometimes that after all these years it would start to peel off.
Green_EyE_Cat_Studio What about the OS? He said that he checked it on Apple’s website and it said it has never been activated. Stores usually sell the devices with a newer version of iOS if its available. Not the original one.
I didn't think you have got scammed. Recently I watched the unboxing of 3GS from one of Polish RUclipsrs recorded in 2009, that guy was unboxing white 3GS from Authorised Carrier in Poland and that plastic protectors on the phone have looked also bad as yours. 🧐
Beyond that iCloud logo on the box, iPhone on front of the box has the screenshot with iOS 5, not iOS 4 as Phillip said (iOS 4 didn't have Newsstand for example). It was bought in AT&T (SIM card inside the iPhone). Beyond that, Phillip, or EAP (I don't know how to call him :D) if you reading this and if you want, you can give me an IMEI number and I will check the history of the iPhone.
My first phone was a 3GS. I got it shortly after the iPhone 4 was released. I later passed it down to my dad, and he used that until the iPhone 6 was released. It's still in a drawer at my parents' house ready to go if either of them ever need a backup phone. That phone definitely further sparked my curiosity and love for technology and pushed me towards my current career path. Hard to believe that so much has changed in this space in only 9 years. Great video!
A MR BATTH FILMS really? I had my iPhone 7 Plus in 2017, I got it gifted for Xmas in 2016. How some things happen. And my partners brother got the 3g on the day of its release
Why is everyone saying things like “wow” or “that sucks” like wth?! I would be thankful! Y’all Psychos I’m done with this new world. At LEAST you got a phone :/ like some people don’t even have one 😒
I used a 3GS that I bought in 2009 when I was 6 that I used until 2019 where I am now 16. It was very emotional when I upgraded a month ago from something I used for so long. But it has now retired and enjoying itself in the cupboard.
It's possible over the years that the adhesive on the screen protector went bad and the manual just got scuffed from moving in the box But you probably got a better idea than I do
and the box indeed shows iOS 5 (no more iPod but just music, and iCloud icon underneath the box) probably he could have double-checked with the software-side serial code in the video
because the 3GS was still produced until 2012 Sep? My dad bought one in 2011 and it showed iOS 4. I guess he should not state this is the most original iPhone 3GS
I could tell right away the seams in the plastic around the box was scuffed and not straight almost like someone heated it to make it stick together and also the the manual shouldn’t move since its placed precisely in the box under the phone 🤷♂️
I still have this phone, and it works! EDIT: I have the 3G, not the 3GS..but it still works! I even have the 2G, but when my family moved a few months ago, I think we got rid of it...
If you really want to re-live the old times you've gotta use it as your daily driver at least for a month .. you will truly experience what you missed.
"It came out with video recording, that no other phone could do at the time" Wait, what? So you're telling me that those videos I filmed on Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericsson and countless other phones before iPhone was a hallucination? Mind = blown.
Wow, that's quite interesting to see how seriously people took my comment. Ok, from semantics point of view, it's quite easy to miss the "i" in the iPhone. However, as Applechips pointed out, there were only 2 other iPhones at the time, i.e.: why say "no other phone" as opposed to "previous iPhones"? I think a lot of people forget that iPhone wasn't all that revolutionary. Was it great? Definitely. Did it improve a lot of things that was flawed with other designs? Absolutely. Did it invent all those things it claims oh-so-righteously? No, no and no. My point is, be careful not to over glorify a product just because you love it. That's it. Peace out!
How do you know the phone was replaced? I mean, it obviously _could've been,_ but we could also just be dealing with an "old protector". The ONLY way to *really* see if the phone was replaced is to check the on-device S/N and verify if it's the same as the one on the box. _THEN_ check it with Apple. You never checked the on-device S/N, so you were basically crying you got ripped before you really knew... Not good! The "old style" of headphones was the style that was shipped with the 3GS, so that was genuine for you too. Good video for the content itself; the prep could've been better. Anyway, I absolutely loved it when I used it as my (main) device! Unfortunately, mine died because of a swelled battery... Otherwise, I would probably still use it as a music player or something...
Jaxu moi fellow neighbor 😂 Sweden here. En puhu suomea but I know one phrase from a Swedish show so here you go, paljon lunta mutta ei taskulamppu. Hope you appreciate my answer and kiitos for angry birds
Man! This brought back so many memories! It was my first smart phone ever. I stayed with it through the 4 and 4g. I loved the way it felt at the time! Thanks. For the memories.
the upgrade from the 3GS to the 4 was incredible. Facetime, truly beautiful retina display, metal and glass design, and a decently good 5MP camera with led flash and 720P video was extraordinary for the time. It was like holding something from the future back then, and as far as design, it still looks modern besides the size. Almost every flagship now it a metal frame squished between two slabs of glass.
I agree. I think that was last time that Apple truly innovated in the smartphone arena. All iPhones since have just been tiny increments for a lot more money.
The iPhone 3GS holds a very speical place in my heart. It was my first ever iPhone and the first ever iPhone i ever opened had the 8gb model. Sad i don't have it anymore :( Happy birthday iPhone 3GS
Hey man I worked at AT&T and even then the shrink wrap wasn't perfect, the screen protector wasnt always on completely. I worked at AT&T from the iphone through the iphone 6. You didn't get scamed from what i saw. Now if the IMEI's or S#'s dont match up well then yes, you got scammed. That unboxing looke just like the randomness of the 1000's I've done. Plus its been in the box for 9 years.
:-p :-D 8+ is shit it has huge bezels and shit lcd and worse camera than X shit aspect ratio cheaper materials I have iPhone X no1 bought 8 it was obsolete before it even came out
I still use a 3gs as my phone. And it still works pretty well. It’s slow compared to modern phones. But it still works. The latest iOS available is iOS 6.1.6
It almost looks like an iPod Touch 4G with a black chassis... What? My very first Apple product was an iPod Touch 4G. I’m just SO nostalgic.(Oh, and for those who are curious, I got it brand new for my birthday. Late party, of course, because my B-Day is 9/12. It *is* pretty cool. Still have and use it!😁)
Awesomelitten1118 Yeet Arguably the best (and most revolutionary) iPod Touch ever, period. For instance, it was the first with a camera, it was the first with a Retina display, and the first that was focused on gaming(well, *2010* gaming). I was really disappointed that soon after iOS 7 about every developer abandoned iOS 6. I still play some of the classics like Angry Birds, Hill Climb Racing, the funky wood maze thingy with the metal ball, AND the best version of Garage Band EVER.
The iPhone 3GS was the first iPhone I ever saw/used. I remember when my dad brought it home and I said “you spent $300 on a cell phone??” Lol but then he let me play on it and I quickly fell in love. He always let me play games on it
iPhone 3GS was the first iPhone I've ever owned and I still have great memories of that phone. Now I regret that I gave it to my stupid friend, because he threw it into the river like five minutes after I gave it to him (sorry if I've written something incorrectly, English is not my native language)
So, you probably didn’t get scammed. iPhone 3GS came in two boxes. One with the wallpaper with iOS 4 or 5 and one without the wallpaper with iOS 3. I think your over reacting. It’s just really old and makes me appreciate how well the packaging is today. Everything in the box is legit. The accessories feel like that because thats how they actually feel. I still have mine. It’s very interesting how these things age and how they felt. The screen protector ages like that when it has been sitting for so long. You prob got scammed if they said it came with iOS 3. iOS 5 means that you got the newer version phone that were free when the 4S would sell for 200 and 4 would be 100. Just because you got a newer batch of the phone doesn’t mean it’s not legit. But you should have caught that when you bought the phone. You have the box with the wallpaper on it. Video was lit. I have nothing against this channel. But the whole vibe of this video ruined a legit unboxing. I’ve been a sub for 7 years now so I know when content is legit or not on this channel. I wouldn’t still be here if it wasn’t. But this is something that bugged me. All in all good legit unboxing!
Dawg, that ain't brand new. They've just replaced the casing/housing of the phone. You should have opened/disassemble it to know if its brand new or reconditioned.
That was the later 3GS that came with iOS 5, so this 3GS was bought sometime in 2011. If it was from 2009, it would not have an iCloud Sticker and the front of the box would show an iOS 3 screen with a black homescreen background. Also any 3gs that has no capacity marking on the back of the phone is a new bootrom model from 2011. Im not sure if it has been resealed or not but it is definitely not from 2009 because of the icloud sticker on the box
I used this phone as a dailydriver for 3 years back in the day (still have it). Don't understand how I could use such a small screen now that I'm using a s8+.
even if this was legit, it would have literally been the exact same experience as the real one, losing all value as soon as you opened it, so who cares
I've had this video in my watch later folder for 5 years and today I decided to watch now I feel like I've been scammed haha! Nice video either way can't believe they did you like that
best feeling phones in hand of all time and honestly my favorite iphone. if they ever made one to look like this but without the chin and for head with full screen and hole punch i would switch back to an iphone. the curve on the back fits so nice in the hands and it was super comfortable to hold. no phone till this day matches that.
I think its best if you do the unboxing on the day you recieve it then upload it later on the anniversary date so u have a video and you’re able to get a refund if its a scam.
It's so easy to reseal stuff like new with one of those vacuum food sealers. They can remedy the plastic seam like new. People do it with auto parts & every thing now.
Because iCloud came out along iOS 5, you probably received an iPhone that was lightly used, or not really at all. That particular phone came with iOS 5 as it was one of the later models. The 3GS originally released with iPhone OS 3, which had no wallpaper on the front. I speculate that those models are even harder to find than the one that you have.
Damn I want to see this iPhone in 2019. Literally just pancake the 3GS and put a fingerprint sensor on it. I love that silver border around the screen and that convex back.
"It came out with video recording , no other phone could do at the time" Lolz, that's a good one maybe the iPhones couldn't until the 3GS but other phones were certainly capable of video recording, the Treo 650 could do that in 2004 (even the 3G was with a separate app) Anyways, the 3GS was the first iPhone fast enough to use, I know cuz I had the 3G and wow was that slow, I used a 3GS in a store and wow the speed difference was REAL
The 3G could shoot video with some app from Cydia in the 2.0 days. It wasn’t 30fps though. More like 15 which was why Apple didn’t enable it themselves.
lecorsaire 15fps? Could've sworn it was better than that but the resolution tho, that's there bad part. I seem to recall getting the video app from the app store but I did have it jail broken so IDK. I know why Apple didn't add it but technically it could record video
SbI29 It could’ve been more around 20. I remember it was clearly below 30. I used it for fun but then deleted it. The iPhone really got capable recording with the 4 with (720p). Actually the 4 was the game changer for the camera overall.
SbI29 Oh it was beautiful. Everyone takes high PPI for granted now, but seeing that for the first time was unbelievable. Infinity Blade took me by surprise. That’s when I realized these SoC’s were evolving fast. Same thing with the 2012 MBP. I never expected displays like this on a phone. The original 480x320 display was already damn good. The only device that had something similar before was the PSP.
So many pieces of Crap out there selling illegitimate products. It’s just sad, but thank you for posting continuous quality videos. I still enjoyed this video, and it even helped me not get bamboozled, so thank you. You the man, and if you ever want to get rid of any of these old phones, I would love one for my collection and could even send you a video of me posting it. Thanks again
They changed the serial number to a unused one. It can be done even on modern phones (altho those can’t activate). That’s why it shows as unactivated. I’m surprised the amount of effort they put in it. You have to take off the nand chip to do it. They also probably changed the chassis and display to make it look brand new
Jerry Joy why would they change the mobo? And what’s the point of it since it would’ve already had an activated serial.Apple’s website showed that it hadn’t been activated. That was the point. Where can you get a board with an sn that has never been used? You can’t.
EverythingApplePro some poorer markets get same packages for iPhone5s event today. I had to accept to buy one in Europe even showing dusts under never used screen plastic and micro scratches on the body to the retail store worker. Phones are inspected in the factory, so it is fine and it still means phone wasn't used after it left the factory.
I have 2 of those 3GS’s currently 1 with a shattered and not working screen and 1 in mint condition, no idea they were “worth” that much. I also have 1 iPod touch 2nd Gen and 2 iPod touch 3rd Gen. Need less to say my Dad was an huge Apple fan and still is lol😂

The way they do it is they take plastic wrap that you would have in the kitchen and they use a hairdryer which then shrinks the plastic wrap and pulls it together and if the seal on the box is a smooth seal and not jagged like it was on the 3GS then it’s factory sealed from apple or brand new
It’s not a scam. The protector was in a bad condition like this in other unboxing at the time.
Also it happens sometimes that after all these years it would start to peel off.
NVideos and the OS ?
Green_EyE_Cat_Studio
What about the OS? He said that he checked it on Apple’s website and it said it has never been activated.
Stores usually sell the devices with a newer version of iOS if its available. Not the original one.
Tnx for info man
The protector was in bad condition because at&t (or whatever carrier it was) took that off to put the sim in
He scammed himself for buying an old iphone for that much money and especially when he spent like 10k for the first iphone.
I didn't think you have got scammed. Recently I watched the unboxing of 3GS from one of Polish RUclipsrs recorded in 2009, that guy was unboxing white 3GS from Authorised Carrier in Poland and that plastic protectors on the phone have looked also bad as yours. 🧐
SHiN yes, because back in the day, you could only buy an iphone from at&t and they would put their sim card in
MAKS+ +ios5 didn't exist when the 3gs came out

TheNoobtuber27 The box has an iCloud logo on it. iCloud was announced in 2011. They still sold the 3GS in 2011, it was free with a 2-year contract.

Maaaaaan! It was clear that is a scam just by the "iCloud" sticker. iPhone 3Gs was released when iCloud wasn't even a thing.
Serge Kills they kept selling it until
September 12, 2012 tho iCloud was out then
That is a later model of the iPhone 3GS because the box has iOS 5 (Supporting iCloud) on it and it has no GB rating on the back
May be he put the sticker later

I still use a 3gs as my phone. And it still works pretty well. It’s slow compared to modern phones. But it still works.

Nope
iPhone 3GS: iOS 6
iPhone 4: iOS 7
iPhone 4s: iOS 9
iPhone 5: iOS 10
iPhone 5s: unknown (probably iOS 11)
Etc...
olo iPhone 5S iOS 12
Still using mine as well. Still has a great battery life.
The iPhone 3GS reminds me of iOS 6 & iOS 6 reminds me of when I got an iPad mini 1 (installed with it) those good times I miss
It almost looks like an iPod Touch 4G with a black chassis... What? My very first Apple product was an iPod Touch 4G. I’m just SO nostalgic.(Oh, and for those who are curious, I got it brand new for my birthday. Late party, of course, because my B-Day is 9/12. It *is* pretty cool. Still have and use it!😁)
Tiernan Flynn SAME MY FIRST APPLE PRODUCT
Tiernan Flynn that was my first personal device, which I too got for my birthday
Hahah me too I still have it and it was also my first apple device
Awesomelitten1118 Yeet
Arguably the best (and most revolutionary) iPod Touch ever, period. For instance, it was the first with a camera, it was the first with a Retina display, and the first that was focused on gaming(well, *2010* gaming). I was really disappointed that soon after iOS 7 about every developer abandoned iOS 6. I still play some of the classics like Angry Birds, Hill Climb Racing, the funky wood maze thingy with the metal ball, AND the best version of Garage Band EVER.
To all who commented, thanks!😁 Really appreciate it.
Even by today’s standards the phone looks really premiumish
Xtreme Gamerz you’re right it look quite good for today’s standards
AG absolutely looks like a friggin toy.
Xtreme Gamerz eww
killerpie227 get a fucking life, is just a phone.
Anyone whose iPhone 3GS still works? Like if you do!
KPOP IS LIFE and do you still use it in everyday life ? 😳
KPOP IS LIFE mine only turns on if it’s on the charger 😂
Dropped it 2 months ago and cracked the screen.. But it still carries on like a trooper
My mum still uses a 3G as her daily driver and it works fine
KPOP IS LIFE i have 4s
The iPhone 3GS was the first iPhone I ever saw/used. I remember when my dad brought it home and I said “you spent $300 on a cell phone??” Lol but then he let me play on it and I quickly fell in love. He always let me play games on it
I can’t be the only one who noticed that this video goes for exactly 10 minutes
Ali Rahman lol
Youssef Al Makdissi bruh you were😂
iPhone 3GS was the first iPhone I've ever owned and I still have great memories of that phone. Now I regret that I gave it to my stupid friend, because he threw it into the river like five minutes after I gave it to him
(sorry if I've written something incorrectly, English is not my native language)
So, you probably didn’t get scammed. iPhone 3GS came in two boxes. One with the wallpaper with iOS 4 or 5 and one without the wallpaper with iOS 3.
I think your over reacting. It’s just really old and makes me appreciate how well the packaging is today. Everything in the box is legit. The accessories feel like that because thats how they actually feel. I still have mine. It’s very interesting how these things age and how they felt. The screen protector ages like that when it has been sitting for so long.
You prob got scammed if they said it came with iOS 3. iOS 5 means that you got the newer version phone that were free when the 4S would sell for 200 and 4 would be 100. Just because you got a newer batch of the phone doesn’t mean it’s not legit. But you should have caught that when you bought the phone. You have the box with the wallpaper on it.
Video was lit. I have nothing against this channel. But the whole vibe of this video ruined a legit unboxing. I’ve been a sub for 7 years now so I know when content is legit or not on this channel. I wouldn’t still be here if it wasn’t. But this is something that bugged me. All in all good legit unboxing!
He got scammed cus it wasn't in the original box and has been opened before
jacky yo How can you prove that? The box matched the software on the phone. After so many years it’s bound to affect the packaging.
Dreamer In Time the plaster was not package Properly, there was scuff marks in instructions menu and there was a sim card inside the 3gs.
You’re*
jacky yo some phones come with sims bc of the phone company it was associated with
The iPhone 3GS was my first phone, and I’m still holding onto it
A year later, are you still holding onto it??
@@kram7511 he actually got the phone surgically grafted to his skin. They are one now. Takes a whole new meaning to iPhone 😂 (okay I'll leave).
Damn this was my dad's old phone he gave it to me back when I was 7 dang time flies by so fast
PROGAMER_526 HD so you are the scammer that sold him the used phone 😡🤬
Jacob Bender kids man, kids.

I appreciate the fact you keep the video rolling after you get scammed. People have to know what to look for and how easy it is to get hosed.
My teacher still uses her iPhone 3g and it still works, she uses it all the time as well
please tell her its worth millions now
Karan Sehgal thousands but it’s not brand new
Karan Sehgal lol its worth like 15 bucks
Struwex not even 15 like 1 dollar 😂😂 the 5c is worth 15
I'm no Apple expert, but before you opened the 3GS I knew it was a repack.
pew2007 Same. The lines on the box weren’t a sign of age. They were a sign of someone sealing it a second time.
There was a hole on the side
Could be refurbished iphone
No other iPhone has been as good as this one.
I Think U got Scammed already once.... :D
yup with the 2g
Yeah I remember I think was placed upside down in the box.
The Chris Steel Show exactly
This was my first iPhone!............ Also my last.
Luis Fernandez oh...
WHERE R U FRM?
Wise choice my friend
Lol mine too
Same lol😂🤣
Dawg, that ain't brand new. They've just replaced the casing/housing of the phone. You should have opened/disassemble it to know if its brand new or reconditioned.
That was the later 3GS that came with iOS 5, so this 3GS was bought sometime in 2011. If it was from 2009, it would not have an iCloud Sticker and the front of the box would show an iOS 3 screen with a black homescreen background. Also any 3gs that has no capacity marking on the back of the phone is a new bootrom model from 2011. Im not sure if it has been resealed or not but it is definitely not from 2009 because of the icloud sticker on the box
I used this phone as a dailydriver for 3 years back in the day (still have it).
Don't understand how I could use such a small screen now that I'm using a s8+.
Axel same
OMG HE MENTIONED iJUSTINE AHHHHH!!
iDrizzle_ Dounut ijustine is a bitch
IconicRat how would you know?
IconicRat idk, she’s pretty big and famous
iJustine is cute af
German Aviation I mean, I watch Jaiden Animations and some other animators but that's kinda it
even if this was legit, it would have literally been the exact same experience as the real one, losing all value as soon as you opened it, so who cares
I've had this video in my watch later folder for 5 years and today I decided to watch now I feel like I've been scammed haha! Nice video either way can't believe they did you like that
watching on iphone 3gs👍🏻
Impossible
Ashir genius33 lair they don’t have emojis

IO Gamer “ I feel cheated, bamboozled even”
IO Gamer What the flip?
Sounds like something TheReportOfTheWeek would say 100%
Talks about how he checked if it is legit and he didn't get scammed ... and 3 seconds later finds out he got scammed.
best feeling phones in hand of all time and honestly my favorite iphone. if they ever made one to look like this but without the chin and for head with full screen and hole punch i would switch back to an iphone. the curve on the back fits so nice in the hands and it was super comfortable to hold. no phone till this day matches that.
Why am I watching this even though I unboxed one for my self aahhh whatever 👍🔥💵
Armandeep, you summed up half of youtube's audience right there mate.
Armaandeep Shergill yeah you still using it till this year
Boy, you know you lying 😂
No one cares. You didnt record it.
It would be cool to get one but I don’t see the point, I get the nostalgia factor but I just don’t see the point
I think its best if you do the unboxing on the day you recieve it then upload it later on the anniversary date so u have a video and you’re able to get a refund if its a scam.
Please unbox the other ones.
It's so easy to reseal stuff like new with one of those vacuum food sealers. They can remedy the plastic seam like new. People do it with auto parts & every thing now.
Dude, I feel you pain. Keep up the great work!
The iCloud symbol on the package dude ..................
Heaven Salarzon might be, didn’t know they changed the package after time.
salazizzle you are fake news
Yeah some iphone 3gs was sold with ios 5 which probably wasnt a good idea
You stole my name
Nice cameraman btw
Because iCloud came out along iOS 5, you probably received an iPhone that was lightly used, or not really at all. That particular phone came with iOS 5 as it was one of the later models. The 3GS originally released with iPhone OS 3, which had no wallpaper on the front. I speculate that those models are even harder to find than the one that you have.
Damn I want to see this iPhone in 2019. Literally just pancake the 3GS and put a fingerprint sensor on it. I love that silver border around the screen and that convex back.
Carlcom I had a 3GS in 2016 and broke it in 2017
I just bought a iPhone 3gs, it's arriving in the mail soon and I can't wait
"It came out with video recording , no other phone could do at the time" Lolz, that's a good one
maybe the iPhones couldn't until the 3GS but other phones were certainly capable of video recording, the Treo 650 could do that in 2004
(even the 3G was with a separate app)
Anyways, the 3GS was the first iPhone fast enough to use, I know cuz I had the 3G and wow was that slow, I used a 3GS in a store and wow the speed difference was REAL
The 3G could shoot video with some app from Cydia in the 2.0 days. It wasn’t 30fps though. More like 15 which was why Apple didn’t enable it themselves.
lecorsaire 15fps? Could've sworn it was better than that but the resolution tho, that's there bad part. I seem to recall getting the video app from the app store but I did have it jail broken so IDK. I know why Apple didn't add it but technically it could record video
SbI29 It could’ve been more around 20. I remember it was clearly below 30. I used it for fun but then deleted it. The iPhone really got capable recording with the 4 with (720p). Actually the 4 was the game changer for the camera overall.
lecorsaire and the screen, I really wanted one for that actually good screen, so I got the 4th gen iPod touch and I still have it
SbI29 Oh it was beautiful. Everyone takes high PPI for granted now, but seeing that for the first time was unbelievable. Infinity Blade took me by surprise. That’s when I realized these SoC’s were evolving fast. Same thing with the 2012 MBP. I never expected displays like this on a phone. The original 480x320 display was already damn good. The only device that had something similar before was the PSP.
Key sentences for every old iPhone unboxing video by him: “ugh I’m so butthurt right now”. “I got scammed”. “Are you kidding me”

It is 5 A.M. and I am still awake and watching your video. Yo what is going on here? Breakfast! Okay... it’s another 5 A.M.-comment
de'ja vu huh. So, am I a bandwagon for having 4s as my first iphone?
Chibaku Tensei no mine was also that phone
First phone was iPhone 4
Chibaku Tensei My first iPhone was a 3G
Manuel Reviewer yeah I know it. I just can't construct a sentence with the proper term, sorry Einstein.
First iphone was 4s havent have one since then.
So many pieces of Crap out there selling illegitimate products. It’s just sad, but thank you for posting continuous quality videos. I still enjoyed this video, and it even helped me not get bamboozled, so thank you. You the man, and if you ever want to get rid of any of these old phones, I would love one for my collection and could even send you a video of me posting it. Thanks again
They changed the serial number to a unused one. It can be done even on modern phones (altho those can’t activate).
That’s why it shows as unactivated.
I’m surprised the amount of effort they put in it. You have to take off the nand chip to do it.
They also probably changed the chassis and display to make it look brand new
Alexandru Simut maybe even the motherboard and the battery was replaced. Genius!
Jerry Joy why would they change the mobo?
And what’s the point of it since it would’ve already had an activated serial.Apple’s website showed that it hadn’t been activated. That was the point. Where can you get a board with an sn that has never been used? You can’t.
Alexandru Simut I was being sarcastic. Oh my... Bro calm down :3 💕
Jerry Joy oh lol sry😂❤️
You just busted a scam after 9 years. Cheers 😁
8:51 It's actually 3 MP
The look on His face is "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"
The 3Gs originally came with iOS 3 not 4.
That is 2011 production version of 3GS. Look the iCloud at the box.
How is it that big of a disappointment / it’s a real 3GS not a clone or anything
Yes it’s a real 3GS but I wanted an authentic unboxing experience, I could’ve bought this for $50-100 instead of $300 you know?
EverythingApplePro I see
EverythingApplePro some poorer markets get same packages for iPhone5s event today. I had to accept to buy one in Europe even showing dusts under never used screen plastic and micro scratches on the body to the retail store worker. Phones are inspected in the factory, so it is fine and it still means phone wasn't used after it left the factory.
Please unbox the others.. I Hope you don't get scammed this time..
3GS was my very first iPhone and to this day I am still buying iPhones. I can’t believe it’s been 9 yrs already.
I have 2 of those 3GS’s currently 1 with a shattered and not working screen and 1 in mint condition, no idea they were “worth” that much. I also have 1 iPod touch 2nd Gen and 2 iPod touch 3rd Gen. Need less to say my Dad was an huge Apple fan and still is lol😂
At least you have the real thing
He’s charging an Apple product with a Samsung power bank
Clint Young listen it’s called a joke
Clint Young J O K E- something you don't fucking understand.
Do you still believe today that it was resealed? I think the offset of the screen protector isn't a proof
actually, other phones like nokia and sony ericsson could record videos long before the 3gs
