- [Dan] This is what happens when you drop
your Air Pod cases from drones and then hit it with a knife.
Do not do this.
(screams)
- Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Lincoln and this is Dan,
and today we're gonna cut open some Apple Air Pods.
- You guys have been asking for this
since these guys came out.
They were a little bit hard to come across,
and so once we finally got them we decided
we need to go big.
We're not just gonna sit in our house
and cut these things open.
We wanted to go extreme.
We wanted to get a little bit dangerous,
so we came to one of the most dangerous places
on the world
on Earth.
♫ Who could be the stars
♫ Who could be the stars for me
That's right, we are at Kualoa Nature Preserve
in Hawaii, on Oahu.
This is a working ranch and nature preserve
but it's also a place where tourists love to come.
We're gonna attach some phones to the drones,
fly 'em up in the air and drop them.
Get ready.
(dance music)
Check out these scratch marks.
This is from the movie. - They're scary.
- Looks likes major concrete scratches.
Nope, it's styrofoam.
(knocking)
Styrofoam.
Still looks super rad. - It's squishy.
- So that's why we say this is
the most dangerous place in the world.
Because this is where the dinosaurs were.
This is the cage, Chris Pratt was in here,
and I think he got stuck in here,
or he had to run out or something.
These are the Apple Air Pods.
Lincoln has never held them or seen them
until this moment.
Here you go, buddy.
See, does that fit?
Does it feel weird? - Oh yeah.
- [Dan] (laughs) What's wrong with you?
(laughs) You don't put 'em that end in.
Okay so that's how they should look.
- What do they look like?
- Here's the game plan.
See the drone over here?
We have a drone.
And then over here we've got another drone,
and we've got somebody that's gonna help us fly it.
- Hey guys.
- DevinSuperTramp, Devin Graham,
you guys have probably seen his videos.
He did a video a few weeks ago that was awesome
from here that was in 4K and it was flying around
and I thought, that's the place where we need
to drop the Air Pads and have him take care,
so what do you think about this Devin?
How's this gonna work?
- We're gonna fly this up in the air
and then we're gonna go fast, kinda tip it,
and then they're gonna fall, hit the ground,
and we're gonna see what happens.
- [Dan] Do you think they'll break?
- [Lincoln] No.
- [Dan] I think the case is gonna break.
This ground is hard; we're gonna drop it on the rocks.
- Very small chance of survival.
(digital dance music)
(shouts)
(drone blades whirring)
- Drop test!
Look at that.
Well, there's a fail.
Alright, new plan.
Zack, what do we got here?
- The Air Pods are now taped to a necklace
that we bought at a gift store.
- That is very professional.
This necklace is holding the Air Pods
and it will just slide right off when I turn the drone,
when I lean it a certain direction.
Devin has his drone flying right side-by-side of it.
- Look at this; look how cool that is.
- Scenery?
Whoa!
Devin's great at filming stuff.
161 feet in the air.
Five, four, three, two, one.
♫ Waste two nights in love
♫ But save the last drink for me
(shouts)
♫ Untouchable in shining thought
- Okay, it's still shut, it's shut.
- It's still shut, are they in it?
Open it up.
- Both in it. - They're both in it.
Just fine. - Completely fine.
- We need to go higher.
♫ You can be the stars
♫ You can be the stars for me
♫ Show me that you love me
- It's falling!
♫ Light the sky so I can see
It's falling that way!
This way (laughs)
We got them, right here.
There's some orange bird poop on it.
(laughs)
There's no way we got that shot.
It is trickier than I thought it was going to be.
We've dropped it three times
and haven't had the greatest of success so far.
Not only are we gonna drop air pods,
but we wanted to test out some iPhones.
RhinoShield reached out to us, they're like,
hey we'll sponsor a video if you'll test out our cases.
So we're gonna test it out.
So we have the matte black phone right here.
Brand new phone, we just picked this up last night
at the Apple Store here.
It's just a little bumper.
Just pop it on like that.
It's supposed to protect your phone up to a 13-15 foot drop.
They even gave us cases with our What's Inside logo on it.
Look in the description, and we're gonna do a giveaway
and giveaway the phones that do survive
and also these cases.
- Hola.
- We have the necklace on it with a piece of tape.
Looking fresh and clean.
(drone blades whirring)
Okay, this is 15 feet in the air right now.
This is what they say your phone,
if you drop it on concrete, can survive.
Oh, that did not sound good.
That did not sound good, Lincoln.
Pick it up, check it out, see if it works.
- Oh this poor phone.
It doesn't have any scratches and completely awesome.
- Really? - Yeah.
- [Dan] Let's wipe it off.
- It's fine.
- Alright phone.
The bumper guard right there looks like we hit a rock,
and has a little scratch, but totally fine.
The phone still works.
- Completely. - Good condition.
That's impressive.
Now let's take it up even higher.
(electronic dance music)
Ah, it's falling, it's falling!
Look out for the cars!
(phone crashes)
Ah!
Oh my gosh.
Okay this is crazy.
The phone is fine.
The only thing that got damaged is the camera lens.
A rock must have hit it perfectly.
We looked it up on the drone.
That drop was 180 feet, we lost the camera
but let's see what happens when we take off the bumper guard
and give it a drop.
- The proof is in the pudding.
(laughs)
- This is a phone with no case.
185 feet, it's coming.
(phone crashes)
(shouts)
I hit the bar!
Oh no, oh the whole bottom cracked open.
You've seen Zack's bend test that he does on iPhones.
This this is pretty jacked up.
- Looks like the screen is popped out a little bit.
Oh, even the back case.
That's pure bent metal right there.
- How is it that the screen survived
and the metal is torn on the back?
- I have no idea.
- The bumper case, it did what it promised.
But I wouldn't take it up to 100 and 200 feet like we did.
You'll have some dents and you'll have some marks on it.
Jurassic World and Jurassic Park was awesome at Kualoa Park.
I was impressed that they survived the drop test.
We're gonna really cut open these Air Pods
and just see what's inside of them once and for all.
We have a few tools.
This one is my favorite; check it out.
(laughs)
Look at that thing.
I'm just going to give it a squeeze
and see if it can pop open.
You can see the glue coming off right there.
This thing does not have screws that are holding it in,
it is just the glue.
Oh yeah.
How's that for a clean opening?
We are in on the headphone part, Lincoln.
- It looks really small.
- So you saw earlier who was helping us with the drone.
We got Zack.
What are we lookin' at?
- So the ear pods are waterproof and sweat proof.
Part of that is this part right here is rubber,
so in a lot of speakers, especially like older speakers,
they're like paper,
and paper and water don't go well together, obviously,
so if you're sweating inside of your ear and this is paper
that speaker's just going to disintegrate.
And then right here, all a speaker is is copper and a magnet
so the magnet makes the copper shake back and forth
and that kind of transmits the sound.
So if you just extend those pliers, just hold 'em out,
it's gonna stick all by itself right here.
- [Dan] So we need to get down into the battery case.
We have this knife; we've already got the top part off.
Wonder if we can just hit this guy.
(knife banging)
♫ You can be the stars
♫ You can be the stars for me
Oh boy.
That's a very clean cut right there.
Doesn't get much cleaner.
- [Zack] Nice.
(laughs)
Is that the whole, ow!
I got the battery; it's hot.
Pretty much all you have in this part
is the battery and the antennae.
I would imagine that Apple would've wanted it
to be a little bit smaller so you don't look so dorky
when you're wearing them,
but you have to think they need to have a battery
long enough so that people don't complain and say
this this only lasts for 30 minutes.
I mean, when I'm at the gym I work out for hours.
- Yeah, yeah, totally.
(laughs)
- When you put the Air Pods in it does pull it down
and it locks into place,
so there's definitely maggots in ...
Maggots, there's maggots in there.
- Maggots.
- Maggots in the Air Pods.
- I actually, yes, I've had stories with maggots.
At school, that my actual teacher taught me about maggots.
No, I'm serious.
- That's a nice story, Lincoln.
- I'm actually serious.
- Maggots; hastag maggots.
Leave it in the comments.
I believe you. - Yeah.
- I'm not doubting your story at all.
I think your maggot story is a true story.
- Yes.
- Back to the Air Pods.
(laughs) So when you take these Air Pods
and you put 'em in there, there are magnets in the bottom.
- Maggots.
- But there shouldn't be anything else inside of this.
It should just be a battery and magnets.
(knife clicking on plastic)
'Cause look, there's magnets in the top part of the case.
That's the latch that gets it to open and shut, right there.
When we dropped it from really high up,
that's a little cushioning in it
so that it keeps the Air Pods safe.
No wonder it survived so well.
Apple, darn you for making this too well built.
I'm gonna have to use some brute force
and so I got this giant piece of coral from the ocean.
Now we're gonna beat this thing up.
(hammer banging)
(slow digital music)
- [Lincoln] I saw a little spark when you pulled that out.
- [Dan] Look at that, here's our battery.
I bet it's very hot.
- [Zack] Oh yeah.
- [Dan] Check it out, you see it steaming right there?
- [Lincoln] I saw.
- [Dan] See the red mark?
Look at that.
This is what happens when you drop your Air Pod cases
from drones and then hit it with a knife.
Do not do this.
Look at that.
When we came here today I did not plan
on sticking a knife repeatedly into a lithium ion battery.
This is where you stick the lightening cord
to actually charge it
and then look at all the chips down into there.
So the magnet is not at the bottom.
It's at the top in the ear piece part.
It probably just connects with some of the metal
that's in the ear piece.
Zack has a channel where he fixes cell phones
and technology, is this salvageable?
- Usually they aren't as bad as this one is.
- Also thanks to our friends RhinoShield
for sponsoring this video and hooking us up
with these cases that we can do some drop tests with.
So on JerryRigEverything, on Zack's channel,
he's gonna take these Air Pods,
compare 'em to the older headphones.
There's all kinds of links.
- All kinds of links.
- You guys should be spending the next hour on YouTube.
- And Devins, Devin Graham, go check out his channel.
- Let us know what else we should cut open
and where we should travel to to do it,
because this was a lot of fun.
- [Lincoln] It's beautiful here.
- If you want this, follow us on Twitter.
We'll show you.
(electronic dance music)
- I'm Dan, and you're watchin' What's Inside.
(laughs)
- [Dan] Pretty accurate there.
(laughs)
- Hey everybody, this is my son Dan, Lincoln.
