Welcome back to the most popular series!
sucK..K in which i take a look at
usually an unusual prod...duct usually an unusual.
It's true though,
the way I said it.
I take a look at something weird
generally, in the tech world
in the tech realm,
today is no exception
except for my...
expectations...
Am I speaking English today?
What I mean
to say is that at least with this one
this product i'm pretty sure I know how
it's going to work, kind of confused
about whether or not it's useful but I
suppose that's the entire purpose of
this video in this series and possibly
this website this just showed up here
and it was wrapped in Christmas wrapping
paper which is always a benefit, a benefit?
it's a go-to method to make sure that
you end up on the show all right so
people take note, if you're gonna send
things to the address little bit of
wrapping paper goes a long way I think
it might have had something to do with
the name of this thing as well it's
called Jack Up which on its own deserves
a video a product called Jack Up with
the most famous Jack in the world
yeah that's right I said it get all
jackery beans it really prefers to be
referred to as beans not Jack so let me
know in the comments "Hi beans!"
What exactly is a Jack Up? it is a smartphone
screen magnifier "raise and enlarge your
smartphone screen"
whoa! It magnifies the screen 7.8 inches
"enlarge your smartphone screen".
Now you're laughing right now thinking what
kind of senior citizen is this for but
i'm thinking like people watch a lot of
video on their phones then got to put it on the
nightstand beside the bed now you get
three times bigger screen.
"Orient your smartphone in portrait or landscape
position" and its case friendly which is
good.
The moment of truth is it any good? ooh
ooh
Whoa, that is immediately super strange
it looks like those... I'm gonna hold it up
there for you guys
whoa am I magnified right now?
I am.
[Laughing]
Oh I was just having fun with magnifiers
now Jack?
That's a huge magnifier though eeh?
do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do; okay, there's two for
some reason two
oh okay so this kind of rests like that. I
guess holds the phone in place? So you
can line it up, now this is kind of weird
but it seems like you have to be at the
same level i'm going to show it to Jack
you're probably too high up as well can
you pick up that magnification like
where would you have it so you were oh I
guess if you're like you're on the couch
and this is on the coffee.. on the coffee
table
the videos bigger but like if you are
close enough to this thing it's like a
big image it's kind of like turning your
phone into an iPad Mini or something
like that
now keep in mind this is a 7 plus that
i'm using and I'm noticing that it kinda
is getting cut off on the sides so I'm
wondering if in... in a sense the six or
seven might actually require less of a
lean yeah it kind of does of course
because it's a smaller device but it
will work with either. I don't know me
it does what it says is going to do
let's let's put it that way I don't
think that's official. I don't think that's an
official way to do it but that kind of
works too
and then a desktop height you can see it
better.
(laughing) This is like.. this is like the strangest
way to turn your old iphone into a new
one. It's time to magnify your life it's
like the infomercial small phone screen
got you down(?) have I got the solution for
you for three easy payments of three
dollars and thirty-three cents! I don't
know why but there's something
compelling about I mean I just like that
it's simple and it does what it says is
going to do an image looks reasonable.
Granted if you're going to go through
all this trouble,
why not just like chuck it up on your TV
screen? Maybe you gotta manage reading
like giant stop documents with small
text I don't know
maybe your vision is just garbage to
meet all the magnification you can get
this is one of the weirder items does it
suck there's no way I can say it sucks
because it does what it says is gonna do.
I don't know something tells me if you
see a use for this you probably have
already figured out why. But if I come
over to your house and this is what
you're doing like a friday night, you invite
me over and this is what you're doing i'm gonna
look at you little bit sideways.
Listen somebody's gotta be the
trailblazer no gadget prejudice out here
whatever gets the job done for you that
gets the job done for me.
