The iPhone 7 Challenge is Over!
I can play music now, woo!
Hey, what's up guys, Keaton here.
So, for the last week, I've had no headphone jack on my iPhone.
It's taped up, it's definitely been an interesting week and if you have no idea what I'm talking
about, check out the first part of this video, the iPhone 7 Challenge.
It got half a million views, so thank you, guys.
And drop a like on this video if you've already seen that.
So, yeah, let's get in my week.
About a few hours in, everything's good right now, the tape is starting to fall off a little
bit.
I'm probably gonna have to re-position it.
One thing that I'm just dying, is I gotta re-set up the phone.
I gotta login to all my apps.
It's one of those things I gotta do, but I'm gonna do this challenge, mom.
I promise you, I will.
Alright, so get this.
I'm on the phone with my dad, and he's like, "Why can't "I hear you?
"It sounds like you're underwater."
I'm like, "Dad, what are you talkin' about?
"Are you crazy?"
Maybe.
And it turns out, he's not crazy, but the first taping that I did, as you can see right
here, it actaually covered up that little hole right there, which is the microphone.
So I just re-taped the phone.
It looks a little bit better now, and this is what it sounded like with the tape over
the microphone.
- [Keaton] This is pretty much what it sounds like with the tape on my phone, right now.
- So, yeah, super happy that I fixed that.
And that could have just wrecked the entire challenge.
So, I just woke up, it's seven in the morning, the next day.
Really wanna take a shower and listen to music, just kidding, it's bluetooth.
It's so sad.
So, I just left the doctor.
I saw this picture on Twitter of another pair of lightening EarPods.
They look a little different than mine, but it gives me hope that lightening audio's actually
gonna be a thing.
So, I don't know, just cool.
I'm in the car, my phone's at 6%, so normally, I'd charge it, but I also wanna listen to
music, my own music, not the radio.
This is really the big dilemma here.
Apple, I guess I won't be listenin' to music.
I just left a coffee shop and I was trying to edit a video, but well, there's no lightening
port on my MacBook Air.
So, Apple, either hook us up with some adapters for free, or no more videos are gonna get
made.
One thing I'm noticing from this challenge is I'm not listening to music as much.
That's a good thing and a bad thing, 'cause I really enjoy music, but it's just, the speakers,
I need me some speakers.
This is upsetting.
I hope it gets better, I've hit the low point.
Takin' the tape off, I just gotta re-tape this thing.
And ah, I see her!
Oh, I really wanna use you.
Perfect.
So, I'm just hangin' out with my friend, Gabe.
- What's up guys?
How ya doin'?
And we're just chillin', it's pretty quiet.
- And I asked him if he wanted the` aux cord, and what was your response?
- I really wish I could have the aux cord, Gabe.
What I'm realizing from this challenge is, I'm not listening to music as much.
Yeah, EarPods are cool, but a lot of the music I listen to is socially, and I'm not just
gonna give my friend an EarPod and be like, "Yo Dawg, enjoy."
So I think Apple's tryin' to kill music.
Gettin' ready to go pick up some stuff for a new video, my phone's at 10%, so gotta charge
that.
I guess I'm gonna have to listen to the radio.
On an hour drive.
Guys, good news!
The phone works with the car!
The USB port works!
I can play music now, woo!
Out here shootin' some Instagrams, and I have definitely gotten used to just using the lightening
port only.
It's not that bad.
It kinda sucked at first, but I'm gettin' used to it.
That's really all.
Honestly, after usin' this and getting my car's USB port fixed, lightening audio isn't
all that bad.
I'm starting to get used to it.
If you don't have a USB port or can't do lightening audio, life sucks.
That's really it.
Hey guys, so I'm definitely havin' some withdrawals here.
I can't sleep, I've tried to go to sleep for the last hour, not really workin'.
I wish I had a speaker, like my UE Boom, to use.
Can't use this 'cause it has bluetooth.
Just put on white noise or meditation music, or something like that.
So, I think bluetooth is definitely the future, on this one.
Happy this challenge is almost over.
I really hope I get some sleep.
When you can't listen to a speaker, so you gotta bring out the big guns.
I'm listening to things off my laptop.
This is when you know.
So after my week, what I realized, as soon as I got done with the video, and you guys
pointed this out in the comments, I do read them, by the way, is I accidentally put tape
over the microphone.
I quickly fixed it, as you can see, with the tape.
It is dirty, so you can definitely tell, I've been with this for a week.
I think the biggest thing was not being able to listen to music in my car, originally.
Now, my car did get fixed, I will tell you guys that, so I was actually able to listen
to music through the lightning jack, or through the lightening port, on my car since it does
have a USB port.
That was great once it worked.
But, the headphone jack has kind of always been trusty for me.
Now, what I realized is, the headphone jack is kind of a social thing.
The aux cord is a social thing.
Apple is no longer just a tech company, they are a social company, and I just said that.
The term "pass the aux cord" might have to be rewritten to "pass the lightening cord"
because well, we know it's coming.
So, the thing that I kind of realized from all this is bluetooth is a big deal.
Especially when you get rid of this port that's been around for a few decades now.
So, I really miss not being able to use bluetooth, and I think that's kind of where this entire
thing is gonna go.
Honestly, here, I think I'm gonna have the tape on my phone til the iPhone 7 comes out.
Let me know, in the comments, what you guys think about that.
A few of you guys actually tried this challenge, one of you hot glued the head, one of you
put hot glue in the headphone port.
- You are so dumb.
You are really dumb, for real.
- Bro, you can't, you just wrecked your phone.
Congratulations there.
I can now get my bluetooth headphones back.
I am so pumped.
I have missed you for so long, Beats by Dre.
Ah, it's been too long.
I'm stronger than that, you know that.
Welcome back into my life.
I missed you.
My Bose headphones.
Welcome back into my life, I missed you.
Original EarPods, I can't use you anymore, get out of my face.
Oh, and these headphones.
The only other ones I own with a lightening tip, that don't sound like trash.
I've missed you, too.
I'm very happy I have all my friends back.
Welcome home.
So, yeah, that's pretty much it for this video.
