- Hey guys this is Austin,
and this is the ultimate iPhone XS.
So unlike when we usually do these videos in the studio
I felt like why not take a little trip outside to the park
and enjoy some sunshine and fresh air as I build really
stupid things for the internet.
To start out with we have the
brand new Marshall Kilburn II.
Now, Marshall were awesome enough to sponsor this video
because they too share an affinity for building really
ridiculous things on the internet, and they have some
some special speakers.
This, my friends, is how you do a Bluetooth speaker
So now did you hear that?
(thud)
One of the main reasons why we choose the Kilburn II
for this video is because it does support Bluetooth 5.0.
Something shared by the new XS and the XS Max.
Now this actually gives you a few different features.
One of the big ones here specifically with the Kilburn is
that you can pair it with multiple devices.
(Announcer speaking in the distance)
Oh, oh, we should leave.
I was about to blast the speakers, we can't do this in
front of the Mayor.
Can we go back to the studio?
- [Spongebob Squarepants Announcer] A few moments later.
- Back in the studio lets give this a bit more of a
proper try.
- [Speaker] Pretty cool.
So it's actually got a Scorpio
on the front, which would make sense because it is
Scorpio version of the console
that now has a skin covering all that up.
- So that was eight.
(rapping)
This thing is so powerful I can literally feel the air
moving this far behind it.
It has one twenty five watt amp and
two fifteen watt amps inside.
This is ridiculous, and the cool part about it
is that it is a fully wireless speaker.
You can get twenty hours of battery life.
So I'm going to be cranking it to ten here, and one of
the cool parts about it is that it is multidirectional.
So that its not like Ken is only going to be able to
hear on a very narrow kind of thing.
I mean, this thing fills the room.
(hip hop music)
Take one look at the Kilburn 2 and you'll see its got that
classic Marshall style, but it also is fairly rugged.
Its IPX Seven water resistant so its not afraid of a day at
the beach or something.
It does feel pretty sturdy, I mean, its ready to party.
If you want to get your hands
on your own Marshall Kilburn II
of course, the link will be in the description.
Uh, I've got to say, this is the loudest, the best sounding
Bluetooth portable speaker that I've ever tried.
Excuse me I'm gonna go back to the park now, and hopefully
the Mayor doesn't yell at me for, uh, disturbing the peace.
Of course audio isn't the only component in building the
ultimate iPhone XS.
Video also plays a huge roll which is where, well, some of
our more creative accessories come in.
First off, we need the Casey Neistat special, and by
Casey Neistat special I mean the knock-off
Casey Neistat special.
The Allsop Three Pod.
So this is a combo tripod mount and selfie stick, and
that actually feels really sturdy.
Um, okay, so I guess this could be better than a tripod
if I just was able to lock it down.
I'm sure this light is going to be very useful shooting
outside in beautiful sunlight and wonderful shade with some
cloud cover and everything we could ever want in life.
Dude look how much easier this is.
Okay, so now we have not only tripod which bounces a lot
and is kind of derpy, but we also have a light.
Do you see how, uh, revolutionary this is?
So this is a test of what the video looks like on our
super cool iPhone with the light which I don't think is
making a difference.
Can we do some cool stuff now?
So this, this is a slightly creative take on building the
ultimate iPhone XS camera.
So first of all we do have the B-strip case as well as
the lens adapter.
Now this is actually meant to work with a wide variety
of smart phones and the idea is that you can attach a
much nicer piece of glass such as this really nice
L series 7820 Canon lens but
we didn't really plan this out fully if you can possibly
believe something like that, and so we had to be
a little creative.
Most notably there's a little bit of gap between the lens
and the iPhone.
Uh, you know, flange distance and all that kind of stuff.
So using our three pod and our little mini tripod we were
able to get it just about right to, um, sort of look decent.
This is what iPhone video really should look like if
its shot by a true professional set-up.
And I mean, this is not a true professional set-up,
but with a little bit of ingenuity and a whole lot of
stupidness we've got ourselves a, uh,
an ultimate set-up my friends.
Next up its time for some wireless charging action.
So the iPhone XS actually does charge faster wirelessly
than the X, and we're going to put that to the test.
Starting with this, the Appstronics VXX Max iPhone XS
Max battery case.
(inhales deeply)
This is a case for the iPhone XS Max which does have
a battery built in that also supports wireless charging
itself so you can make a wireless charging sandwich.
First step is to drop our iPhone XS Max into the case
it will connect via Lightning and this is going to give
us five thousand additional milliamp hours
of charging capability.
This is the Momax QPower 2 X.
Now we've actually taken a look at a couple of wirelessly
charging battery banks in the past, but what makes this one
a little bit special is not only does it have a massive
twenty thousand, wait, twenty thousand?
Twenty thousand, not two thousand, its twenty thousand
milliamp hours of capacity, but also will support
not only charging over USB as well as wireless but,
it will support USBC power in place.
First of all let me see if this will charge
the iPhone by itself.
Yes, okay, immediately it pops up that it is charging.
So the battery is working.
Now this needs to charge, wait, does it charge upside
down or something stupid?
No.
Its got to have wireless charging on the back, right?
How do I ever know if this charging though?
There's no, like, the LEDs are on the back so if you
put it face down,
(plastic fumbling)
So right now the battery bank is wirelessly charging the
case supposedly which is then charging the phone which
is definitely getting a charge from something in this
stack right now.
If that's not enough how about some air power, or some
knock-off air power.
So I guess part of this is for the iPhone and part of this
is for the Apple Watch?
I think.
Oh, so that's the watch charger which pops up.
Wow, this actually might not be garbage.
I totally assumed it would be terrible.
Okay, step one, we have a wireless charging Apple Watch.
That's actually really cool as is.
Now can this monstrosity charge?
This doesn't charge via wireless, does it?
This is a, it charges the phone wirelessly, it doesn't
actually take wireless power.
Alright, I'm just gonna, we're just gonna move past that.
Don't worry about it, its fine, I'm just gonna put the
iPhone on the charger and pretend that I totally knew
that my wireless charging sandwich was going to work.
Okay, so, just do this.
Hey, look!
Airpower!
It actually works.
What?
This stupid thing actually works?
We've got the watch charging, we've got the phone charging.
Don't worry about the case in the battery bank,
that's all totally fine.
I'm actually really impressed with the air power, and no,
this is not me just clinging desperately on to any small
part of my contraption that actually is working today.
So if you guys want to check out anything that does work,
including the wonderful Marshall Kilburn II Speaker which
is linked in the description alongside some of the other
slightly less impressive products.
You can go check that out, and if you'll excuse me, I'm
going to go listen to some music really loudly and charge
my things wirelessly I hope.
