No t that appealing of a story as we wanted is it? But at least we know the truth

P.s. in different stores there were different stickers of different colour and different text

Yeah no shit everyone can appreciate the impact

Never had the original iPhone, but had a company provided iPhone 3G in 2008, and a 3GS in 2009 - I thought they were the shizzle after using Blackberry's crap for years - then I left that employer and went to Android. Since then & many Android phones later I'm back with an iPhone employer so have had the same lousy iPhone 11 for over 3 years now - no doubt they will replace it shortly - but personally use a Pixel 6 - because iOS is for luddites and iPhone hardware is balls (for the money they ask anyway)

Can confirm. Simple proof of purchase. Worked at apple from 2008-2014

Your explanation sounds legit 😮

True story! I worked in the NYC Apple store between 2006 and 2011. I strictly monitored all the launch of this phone, a real game changer for those times. Those stickers were sent to us by Apple and we used to apply them on Christmas gifts. Once I was having sex with one of my Geniouses and, not having a condom, I covered my penis with these stickers. Thanks God I am not a father, so they work pretty well

I worked there just at launch, and I remember this being a pickup sticker. Normally we used them to attach the receipt to the box with the customer’s name on it.

@@MeenBack tmi

I remember getting the lucky you stickers outside of holidays as well, back in the early 10s in downtown Portland, OR. Definitely was for theft prevention.

Lucky you! You are not a thief!

I worked there as well, you are correct about the sticker being a "proof of purchase" of sorts, but we never did activations or subsidization until iPhone 3. By then we had the blue "Thank You" stickers instead of the red "Lucky You".

​@@pigybank i also worked there (I'm not)

Nice update

boooo

I remember just having bought a shiny new iPod and a premium Nokia flip phone when Apple dropped the bomb that they were going to combine everything in a single device. (We never got the 1st gen iPhone here in Sweden though, so I had some time enjoying my other devices..)

Similar story here. Me and my brother bought 3 iPhones while on holiday in the US in November 2007. Bought them back to Australia and jailbroke them to work locally. It was like being a rockstar having that phone before they were sold locally. Everyone wanted to try it out, look at it, and was amazed by it compared to every other phone at the time.

That would be pretty bad for resale value of these. Price would drop significantly

@@Dev_UI Guitar player, I'd say.

Well they sure weren't free. But there wasn't that much of a hype around the product, that the price of it was actually tied to it's development, production and retail cost. So the devices were cheaper and they included more accessories for the money you paid them.

its really sad how Apple got that greedy for basic SHT

But keep in mind how much emissions the accessories in the box caused, man *sniff*, not even Chernobyl was so detrimental to environment

Exactly, I got a credit card sized one for my first phone back in the mid-nineties 😊

Yup, I remember back when I was a kid living in Mexico in the late 90s, people use to carry those huge sim cards so they could use the telephone booths… damn, I didn’t know I had this memory until now

Correct. Back in those days, the size of the SIM card was irrelevant.... the phones were so big anyway 😂

"Mini" what were they compensating for

@@1karanhasija the cost of the silicon wafer. About $3 per inch (25.4 millimeters). The smaller the chip the lower the cost. While the SIM cards were much smaller than a 1 inch square, if we use that $3 bench mark and apply it to the 16,000,000 sold - that's a $48 million in cost.

yeah its value *stands* to this day

Better than samshi- oop i ment samsung

These days, Apple and Samsung are on the same level, nothing inside the box but the phone :/

@@iAmNothingness hahah good one

And maybe a resealed one, no sim card tool inside, I had a sealed one back in 2007, and besides the accessories he got in his phone, I had a Sim tool on mine.

i never realised how little we get in the boxes now until this video. like, i knew it. but there’s so much in this first one!! how are we paying more but getting less 😭 (rhetorical)

Because then it was new thing, right now everybody has dozen of cables, earbuds and chargers already, we do not need that shit anymore. And who the hell would need a dock in the "data in the cloud" era 😅

@@randomnickify It's all nothing but e-waste at this point.

and now they're about to take a charging port away lol

@@randomnickify iphones should absolutely come with earphones tbh

I like the bidding, the package, the unpackage, until the phone is on, just like you said above

Very true. I find that every time I get something I want I’m instantly ready and looking for the next thing. But I used to be a pill addict years ago so I’m not sure if that’s just my addictive personality or what lol.

Once you pop you just cant stop. And how chould you, given that nothing satisfies or indeed ever can satisfy the will, which is always striving and thus sufferin as long as it is not satisfied; but no satisfaction is lasting; instead, it is only the beginning of a new striving. But there is no final goal of striving, and therefore no bounds or ends to suffering, and for our constant strunggle for more ihpones.

True. There is eternity in man's heart (Ecclesiastes 3:11), which the famous mathematician Blaise Pascal called, "God-shaped vacuum." The video "What is the Meaning of Life?" by Bibles for America does a good job in explaining this.

I wanted to spend a month traveling in the Caribbean for years... Then I finally got a chance to do some IT work for a company that had a location in the Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos, and in Barbados. I spent 2 months there and everyday felt like a dream!😁

Just looking at the box itself is already sad. The box is a brick compared to the current ones despite the phones being way larger

the same happened with iBooks / Macbooks, on 2000s it came with a bunch of adaptors.

The iPod dock was awesome. I remember when it was like the "next gen thing" because you could just put your iPod and no need to change CDs.

@@flintstone1409 don't know about that. I mean, most customers would still opt for a brick. So if it's all about customer demands, Apple could have offered to give out 10$ vouchers to people who forgo the brick.

Exactly! I had an Ericsson flip that used to take the entire credit card sized SIM. This iPhone sized SIM was called the mini SIM, then came micro and then nano now

Yeah I still have a MINI to original SIM card adapter lol

Yeah that was another thing that Apple implemented into phones and that it is now common. The size of the SIM cards. There was no such thing as micro or mini SIM cards before the iPhone.

You beat me to it, my early mobiles all had the credit card sized sim cards.

@@rodrigojds You are wrong, the mini SIM has been used since the late 90's. Maybe you mean the micro SIM which was used on iPhone 4, and it was the first or one of the first phones to use that SIM card format.

Htc was great back then too

Hence the decades of unboxing videos since.

@@hopegold883 the Apple packaging was nothing I was referring to the wooden box from the auction house.

@@loldoctor actually i was one of the first people in buy a laser pointer in the 90s. Got one at Radio Shack for I think $120. At the time no one had seen one before except perhaps in movie. It was incredible.

I remember when this thing came out and everybody was talking about it as it was a giant leap in phone technology for he time. I had just bought about 3 months before this came out, the LG phone with a analog tv receiver built in with the telescoping antenna that pulled out from the top. So when this came out it made that phone literally look like a toy and a stupid novelty compared to this future looking computer for your hands. Top of the line phones at that time i think were about $250-$300..... so when this first IPhone had a price of $700+ it was a shocker for everybody for the price along with the new era of technology unfolding in front of us.

@@smooth_ops2942 bullshit. top of the line phones were 900+++ or even 2000 +++= Nokia Communicator or Nokia Titanium series etc. - and of course Palm phones - iPhone was right in the middle.

False.

Wrong, the lucky you stickers were if you wanted to give the phone to someone as a gift.

​@@TheDennys21 wrong, the "Lucky You" stickers were put on boxes when you checked out using the handheld "EasyPay" devices the employees carried around.

it is kind of funny when he talks about it like its not just back within 10 minutes of the video being released, to youtubers, 40 000 is just another payment, but hey, I guess they have to act relatable for the audience

He can write it off as a business expense.

No it's just insane

How the f do people find this “incredible to watch”!? Maybe if it was like 100 years ago, sure, would be kinda cool to see, like a time capsule. That’s why time capsules are often sealed for a good 100 years because it takes that long for something to be interesting again. Otherwise, 40k on a sealed piece of crap device from only 15 years ago? Who actually gives a crap!? This was actually pointless. Would have been smarter for him to actually build a real time capsule with his logo engraved on it, filled it will a bunch of technology and buried it.

You don't own your technology anymore. You lease it.

In Apple China they give you phone case, screen protector and charger for free

God bless, its so much more environment friendly and economical to not include stuff people might not actually need. In todays age people might have 20 of the same chargers at home. The ear buds often dont get used extra batteries arent necessary..... I have seen a video on this and there are different reasons for it other then the sellers being cheap. Not 100% sure but I think the EU helped with this and its an incredibly good thing for everyone. Everyone that complains about this either has no clue why they are complaining or they are just so lazy to not buy something else they might need. Accessories were never "free".... their price just got put onto the product itself.

@@mysticaldevotion863 Accessories are never “free” yet prices of phones did not decrease while things were taken away.

@@mysticaldevotion863 I think your entire comment is backwards and incorrect and this is not an arguable statement. Buy a $1300 MacBook, or even just the cheapest Mac they make, they don't leave a way to power it out. They always include that because they MUST. Your whole EU thing is complete BS and everyone on the planet knows it. The EU did nothing here. Apple made the conscious decision to remove chargers and now some devices don't even come with a cable. In a business setting, if I was on a job and had to have an emergency device replacement and I couldn't even use it because I don't have a power brick or even a $.39 cable, I'd send it back and sue for lost revenue.

This is the Apple consumers mentality in a nutshell.

If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
