    • @fat_pigeon
      @fat_pigeon 3 года назад +6

      I like the idea, but the severely limited bandwidth into and out of each phone limits how effectively they can work together as a single system. High-performance systems need fast interconnects for anything other than embarrassingly parallel workloads.
      Android phones might be better suited for this, since they already run the Linux kernel (and you can install a more standard Linux on some, e.g. using PostmarketOS).

    Fun fact: Based on the phones' wallpapers, you can actually tell what version they are running, or what version they were running in the past!
    Here at around 14:24, you can see a lot of the wallpapers at once.
    The ones with the blue nebula wallpaper are (or were) running iOS 7. Those phones are most likely iPhone 4's running iOS 7, or iPhone 4S's inheriting the wallpaper in iOS 9.
    The ones with the ocean floor wallpaper (or whatever it is) are running iOS 9. These are definitely iPhone 4S's running iOS 9, their last supported version.
    The few with the mountain/night sky wallpaper are (or were) running iOS 8. These are definitely iPhone 4S's either running iOS 8 or inheriting its wallpaper in iOS 9.
    And, lastly, there is exactly one iPhone with the wallpaper of a rippling lake/pond. This iPhone was running iOS 6 at one point, but it is obviously now running a newer version.

      Technically the phone is perfectly usable, it's just that its serial number/IMEI is reported as being linked to a icloud account in apples servers, and then that is passed along to the setup app, that shows the activation lock screen on the phone. I don't think the icloud data is stored on the phone.

    You can use the ones with high storage (32 or 64gb) and use them as IP cameras. Surely you can do that, considering that the cameras for these guys aren’t that bad at all. I have a 4S and video quality is surprisingly sharp for a decade old device.

    6:05 they are also easier because you can just get parts from other phones and youll be good, unlike the newer phones where if you get a screw from a different phone (same model ofc) itll say its not original and wont work (yes, its an exageration, but on the other hand, its basically the only part that you can change, everything else has an id)
