Now, it doesn't matter whether you know, someone that loves
collecting things related to Apple or you yourself are an
Apple collector of memorabilia,
I have something for you.
Now listen Apple lovers, my name is Mike and I have the
ultimate piece of Apple memorabilia that I think you
should check out.
This is the GRID X from GRID studios, and it's one part
consumer electronics, one part art piece and completely
bad ass, if you ask me.
And I want to thank the folks over at GRID studios for
sending this over because I am simply in love with it.
It should go without saying that the iPhone is probably one
of the most influential pieces of electronics in the
consumer space ever.
It paved the way for the modern smartphone that we all know and
love and really that we're attached to any time of
day or night.
Now we're paying homage to that.
The Grid X deconstructs the individual components from the
iPhone x and neatly lays them all out in this nice
shadow box.
So you see all of the pieces from the iPhone X,
everything that made it up from the logic board to the front
facing camera to the rear camera,
the battery, everything.
It's all nicely laid out and labeled in this box,
which is really, I think, a nice conversation piece.
Now there's a tremendous amount of detail that goes into each
one of these, and it starts with the shipping
and unboxing.
The Grid X was sent to me from outside the U.S., and it comes
inside of a rigid box that's wrapped in a protective bag
with even corner protectors on it.
So they're really going outside of their way to send you
something that they're making sure it's going to be in.
I would say pristine condition when you get it.
Now, once you unwrap this, you see that the packaging
itself is all wrapped in this mad black wrapping paper with a
nice ribbon and wax seal on it.
Once you open it up, you really kind of taken aback by what the
presentation of it looks like.
This is kind of cool.
If you ask me, you have the iPhone front glass here,
you have the backglass.
Here you have the front facing camera, though a Face ID
camera here, the Taptic Engine,
the wireless charging module.
So there's a lot of cool things in here that as someone who is
appreciative of collector memorabilia, Apple,
you know, as itself, it's just a nice piece to talk about.
Because in my mind, even though the original iPhone was
transformative for, you know, mobile smartphones, I would say
that the iPhone 10 is probably the bigger deal.
Let me explain myself.
Now the iPhone 10 is a bigger deal because, you know, one,
it's the first device they had Face ID and it really ushered
in Face ID and so many other devices.
It's the first device to bring in wireless charging,
even though it was not MagSafe wireless charging.
It's the first device to have the neural engine, so this is
the first two core neural engine device that they had.
It's also the first device that offered Apple Pay.
I mean, there's really a lot of things that are in the iPhone
10 that made, I think in my mind, very important.
You have this nice quote from Steve Jobs here.
"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Somehow they know what you want to become."
And which is, I think, really inspirational when you
think about what this device meant for.
I think so many people getting it for the first time.
Released in September 2017, which seems like forever ago,
if you think about it, just it feels like ten years ago,
but we know, we know it's not.
Thanks pandemic.
Either way, this is really cool.
This is this model right here, three hundred bucks.
But they have a lot of other ones.
Anything from the original iPhone all the way through the
iPhone X, some of those models go out of stock depending on
when they have stock in place.
They also have Apple Watches.
They also have the Magic Mouse.
But really, who would want the Magic Mouse?
It's an atrocity.
They also have handheld gaming systems, and they even
have phones from BlackBerry and Nokia.
So definitely there is a wide variety of devices that they
have that you can choose from to have a deconstructed and put
onto your wall.
