- What a glorious day, Apple day, Apple phone launch day,
iPhone launch day.
I can't even talk.
I'm just so, so excited.
I had to stop by two different stores
to get everything I wanted.
I went to the Apple store and I went to the Hermes store.
I don't even know which one I like better.
Hermes is a luxury brand, but obviously,
Apple is the luxury brand.
Yo, what the hell?
This overpriced piece of junk.
iPhone launch day.
Of course, iPhone XS Max, here it is.
I don't even know why anybody would want this phone.
Why would you want this?
Look at this.
There's a notch on the phone and they're hiding the notch
with the wallpaper!
I got the iPhone XS Max.
Of course, I had to get that hot new gold color,
the new hotness.
I also got, have to match,
the gold Apple watch, series four,
44 millimeter, and just to be thorough,
boom, two watch bands.
I can't wait to open all this stuff up.
They've still got people buying watch bands
at $50 for some cloth and some rubber?
Only Apple, only Apple could convince people to pay.
This is $100 right here.
Would you rather have a crisp $100 bill
or would you rather have two pieces of nylon
that go around your wrist?
But that's not all.
Like I said, I also stopped by the Hermes store.
Now, why did I go there?
In case you didn't know, Hermes sells their own version
of the Apple watch.
Let me pull this out right here.
Look at the box!
Look at the box that they put this in.
Orange, you know orange is my jam.
But look at that.
They tie it with a brown bow.
The brown bow specifically says Apple watch Hermes on it
and they even give you a separate nicely wrapped box
for the band that you choose.
Obviously, Apple would work with these guys
because it's customer service to the max.
Oh, the Hermes Apple watch,
check this out.
You probably don't know this.
This right here in this box is the Apple watch
and the orange Hermes sport band.
But you're not allowed to buy just this.
Nope, you have to,
they won't sell this to you unless you also buy
an Hermes watch band, a separate watch band.
Again, there is a watch band included in the box
with the Hermes Apple watch, which by the way,
is just an Apple watch with a couple of extra watch faces.
These bands are like $300.
I asked you if you wanted a crisp $100 bill
or these two pieces of nylon.
This one is 300 bucks!
I cannot wait to dig into all this stuff,
but of course, this is the iPhone unboxing video.
So let's go ahead and put these watches delicately,
oh so delicately to the side
so we can concentrate and focus on this right here.
This is the star of the show, the iPhone.
Let's push all this crap outta the way
so we can focus on this piece of crap right here.
Let's open this up and one thing I gotta say.
I mean, Apple takes care of all the little details.
Look at this right here.
There's a tab.
You hear that?
Let me hold it up to the mic.
(clicking)
That is the sound of new iPhone day,
but it's also the sound of ease
of opening a package.
Look at that!
Look at that.
I pulled it with, I didn't even have to use
all my might.
It just parted like the Red Sea.
Amazing, Apple, and appropriate.
Alright, let's dig into this box right here
and see what's in here.
We already know what's in here, by the way.
This phone has been leaking for months.
We know what's in here.
We know what is in here
and we know what also is not in here.
Of course, Apple always looking to rip you off.
Here's the paperwork and of course,
I love these so much.
These are free whenever you buy an iPhone.
Apple stickers.
Put these on your car.
You can put these on your computer.
You can put them on your desktop.
You can put them on your iPhone.
You can put them on your iPad.
I like to stick these on the headboard of my bed.
Know what, look at these guys.
They're so arrogant.
This is what they give you for an instruction booklet,
a smart phone that can do so much stuff, look at this.
Look at this.
This is supposed to teach you
how to use a new phone?
This is ridiculous.
This is the sim removal tool because now Apple sells
on day one, unlocked phones.
They have never done this before
with the exception of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
Day one, unlocked phones, no need to buy something
that's locked to a carrier.
So if you have a sim card, just use this,
pop out the sim card from your old phone,
put it into your new phone
and you'll save yourself an activation fee.
Here it is.
iPhone XS Max, gold color because of course,
Apple had to find some way to let you show
everybody else in the world that you can afford
the latest iPhone.
The way they do that this year
is by adding a third color.
So if you see anybody with the gold,
you know that they think they're better than you.
Look at this gold phone.
This looks so good!
(sniffing)
Oh my God, this is the smell of new iPhone day.
I know you guys can feel me on that.
Alright, this is the best part.
This is a privilege of any smartphone unboxing.
It's removing the plastic from the device.
Let's go.
I'm gonna hold this up to the mic
so you guys can hear it.
(crinkling)
Oh my God, this,
oh man, can you hear that?
Get this outta the plastic.
Ah man, whew!
Wow, you know,
Apple almost had me.
That did feel good and sound good.
Alright, that's the XS Max.
We're gonna put that to the side just for a moment.
Shh, shh, be quiet baby.
Alright now, let's look at what else is in the box.
Here is a pair of ear pods with the lightning connector,
so these are basically lightning headphones
that are included in the box with the microphone
and I must say, I appreciate Apple
throwing in headphones in the box
because a lot of Android makers have stopped doing that.
The only ones that seem to do it
are the ones that still keep the headphone jack.
But we obviously know the headphone jack is irrelevant
in this day and age and Android phones that have a
USB-C port typically don't ship
with USB-C headphones.
So, kudos to Apple on this.
And here we go, this is where Apple starts
cheaping out on you.
You got, if you're not mad about this,
then you're a sheep because, unlike last year,
here you have the ear pods,
terrible pair of headphones anyway,
but on the back, they had the lightning to 3.5mm
headphone adapter, the dongle,
the dongle that you would plug into the phone
so that you could use any pair of headphones you want.
No longer in the box.
Now, you have the privilege of paying
nine dollars for that dongle if you don't have one already.
Alright, we also have the lightning connector cable itself.
Use this to charge your phone and sync your phone,
et cetera, and we have the power brick.
Just a small one that plugs into the wall
and allows you to plug in a USB cord
like this one right here.
And mistake number two by Apple, look at this thing!
This is a five watt wall adapter.
The phone accepts the fast charging signal
and Apple doesn't even put the fast charger in the box!
Look at the box!
There's nothing else, no fast charger in there.
There's no fast charger, there's no dongle.
(smacking)
Hello? Nothing in here!
You guys are wasting your money on Apple stuff.
And that is everything that's in the box.
Again, we have the iPhone XS Max,
6.5-inch display.
We've got the power adapter, the lightning cable,
and the ear pods.
Now the ear pods should be all you need
unless you wanna go wireless and you can get yourself
a pair of the amazing air pods.
Probably Apple and Tim Cook's best product
since the death of Steve Jobs.
Rest in peace.
Guess what the first thing is, of course.
Apple has to put their logo on everything.
Not only is it on the front of the phone,
it's on the back of the phone as well.
At least they're giving you something
for all the money you just wasted on this phone.
Man, look at that, the Apple logo.
That's when you know things are getting lit.
That is your first signal that you are the owner.
Look at that hello.
If you didn't know, Apple celebrates inclusivity.
We've got hola on there, Spanish.
Hallo, I don't know what language that is.
I think it's German.
Bonjour (laughs), you've gotta give Apple credit
for being so inclusive with even the setup process
of the XS Max.
With all these different languages,
they know we're here in America.
They're putting all these different langauges
right here on the front to make it seem like Apple
is for everybody.
You know who Apple's not for?
People who aren't super rich.
It's way better on the Android side of things.
I'll tell you why.
This is a 512 gigabyte phone, $1,450.
I get way more than that on the Android side of things
for my money.
For example, this camera does not match up to the camera
on my Pixel.
The screen is 6.5 inches.
Good job Apple, but you know what?
I've gotta give it to Samsung.
6.4 inches but you've got the curved sides
and you have no notch.
This screen is not as good as the screen
on my Note 9.
No fingerprint reader anywhere on here.
I'd much rather use a fingerprint reader on my
OnePlus 6 than I would using Face ID.
In fact, I got way more for my money
when I bought my Pocophone than what I'm getting here
on the XS Max.
Alright guys, I'm gonna get this all set up.
You know I'm wrapped in that Apple ecosystem.
I've got my iCloud back up.
All I need to do is put in my credentials,
wait a little while, and this phone will be a carbon copy
of the previous best phone in the world,
my iPhone X.
If you picked up an iPhone XS Max,
drop a like on this video, comment below,
and let me know what you think of your phone.
I already know what you're gonna say.
It is awesome.
Hey, if you're not a sheep out there,
drop a comment down below.
Let me know what you think is the best phone out there.
Obviously, it's not gonna be this $1450 device.
But yeah, let me know all the Android phones
you carry with you on a daily basis.
I know you have one to take pictures.
You have one for the best screen.
You have the fast fingerprint reader,
and of course you have the best budget Android
device as well.
Alright guys, I really do
have to go set this thing up though.
Go ahead and send me any questions you have
about the device.
I will be back soon with a full review
and of course, we also have the Apple watches,
the Hermes edition, the regular edition
that I'll be doing a video on as well.
Don't forget we are giving away
an iPhone XS and an iPhone XR.
I've teamed up with Brian Tong and Erica Griffin,
two great YouTube personalities.
If you wanna enter that giveaway,
I will leave a link down in the description below.
Thank you so much for watching.
As always guys, I appreciate your support.
I'm Andru Edwards and I'll catch you in the next video.
Yo, what the hell?
