i will reply to your original comment on
my original video all right now back
to the main event the iphone 11 pro paul
why are you giving away an iphone 11 pro
and not just selling it
i'll tell you why it's a long
story
that involves the appling recycling
program that just didn't work for me
basically i bought myself an iphone
12 mini and the idea was i was going to
use the apple recycling program to send
back
my old iphone 11 pro and they were going
to give me 560 euros so i was like all
right cool i bought the 12 minute i had
my 11 pro still
and what apple does is as soon as they
send you your new phone they also send
you a cardboard box that looks a little
bit
like this so that you can send your old
iphone back and it's free to send the
old one and they give you 560 euros
that was the plan now i had enough time
to record my comparison video iphone 11
pro
iphone mini upgrade downgrade if you
haven't seen it it's up there and so
uh i was ready i was ready to send my
iphone 11 pro back i never received the
box the box didn't come in the post
and then i got an email from apple
saying i'm sorry
you you've waited too long basically
you've waited more than 14 days
uh so we've cancelled your recycling
program
what what are you talking about i didn't
even receive the box where is it
so i called them up and they're like oh
yeah oh that's interesting you didn't
get the box oh i think we might have an
error of address in the system or
something so i was like okay cool can
you send me the box
and they're like ah unfortunately that's
when you know
customer service you know it's going to
go to when they're like ah
unfortunately the recycling program is
is run by a third party called
brightstar and there was nothing that
the apple representative could do he
couldn't he it was cancelled by
brightstar
the apple guy he was super friendly he
couldn't do anything he was like i don't
know what to do for you because
they've cancelled it i can't reinitiate
the thing i'm like well can i not just
recycle the phone
separately he's like you could do that
but you won't get as much
uh in credit if you're not buying a new
iphone i was like oh for sake
what do i do now and then
i had a genius idea what happens if i
buy a new
iphone 12 mini i re-engage the process
of the recycling
you send me the box to the correct
address i then send my iphone 11 pro
back
and then once that's happened i will
then refund the new 12 mini and the guy
was like ah
that is a genius idea why don't you do
that so that's what i did
i bought a second iphone mini that came
to my house so i had two iphone minis
uh the one that i originally bought the
new one in its brand new packaging
and um my 11 pro and so uh
the box did come the uh the iphone 11
pro recycling box arrived so i put the
11 pro in the recycling box
i put the ups sticker on it and then uh
i
sent it back nailed it i've got
through the system
come on and that would have been the end
of the story
if i hadn't have decided like a
to change my mind
again i was looking at my iphone 12 mini
and i was like ah you know what i've
only got the 64 gig
and i'm like at 52 gigs of capacity i'm
like ah
should i get the 128 i think i'm gonna
get the 128
so what i did uh i went on the apple
store online
i purchased a 128 gig version
of the 12 mini to go pick up at the
local apple store then i would refund
the brand new iphone 12 mini that i had
bought the second one
uh refund that while picking up the new
128 and then
like two days later give back the
original iphone 12 mini that i purchased
it was 64. are you following this
are you following this because i'm not
in my mind i don't know what the is
going on i went to the apple store
i was about to give in uh the uh the
brand new 12 mini 64 gigs that i had
bought
on purpose to do the recycling and i
asked the girl behind the desk
who had by the way seen the original
unboxing video
that i did she was like oh yeah i saw
your video it was very cool i enjoyed it
i'm like great
question if i give you this iphone if i
refund it it's not going to cancel my
recycling
process is it she's like um have you
already sent the phone as the phone or
i'm like yeah the phone is with the
recycling company
i'm just waiting for them to validate
the price and then pay
uh my account and they're like oh well
if you've already sent the phone
no worries no worries it's fine so i was
like great
refunded iphone 12 mini number one got
my
iphone 12 mini 128 which is this one
i get home i receive an email from apple
oh unfortunately
we've had to cancel your recycling
process because you've decided
to refund the iphone that was linked to
the recycling program
ow come on give me a break
so at that point i was like oh my god oh
no what's gonna happen they're like well
we've canceled it we're gonna send you
your iphone back
oh come on what are you doing why why is
life so difficult
why am i i'm creating too many problems
for myself
so then i started thinking some more i'm
like hold on
hold on why don't we do this
why don't i wait until my 11 pro comes
back
then i'll refund the 128 gig that i just
bought
then repurchase another iphone 12 mini
128 gig once all the refunds have been
processed
and then get another recycling option
they'll send me the box
i'll keep the 128 mini send the iphone
and then we're done
and if i'm honest with you i can't be
asked
i just i it's not i just i don't have
the energy
so i've decided to just give it to one
of you i don't have time
plus i mean it'll allow me to make
another video so
it here's what that's my process
and you're thinking paul how are google
paying for this iphone 11 pro i tell you
how they're paying for it
in ad revenue for the previous two
videos that i did
on my iphone 12 mini so thanks to the
the love that you've given and the fact
that you've watched the videos on video
number one
the unboxing i made 250 euros on the
second video the comparison
i made 111 euros which in total means i
made 360 euros
of two iphone videos so basically google
are paying for 360 euros
of your iphone 11 pro and hopefully this
video
and the next video will pay for it
completely so i won't
actually lose any money
but before i give you the phone i've got
to check if it actually
works just i mean i got the box back the
other day
and i just want to make sure that uh
that it's fine it's in this little box
basically i'm gonna
send it to you in this box since i've
got it right
why not okay here we go look check it
out
inspected price 560 euros they even
inspected it
and we're gonna give me 560 oh god
yep that looks like my iphone uh 11 pro
let's just make sure it turns on as well
okay yeah it's just out of battery but
it does work
uh and it's i mean it's it's a it's a
good it's a good
it's in good condition it's in mint
