- Apple is forcing you to buy a new charger.
You don't get a charger inside of your box.
I should probably unplug this at this point,
- [Lincoln] There is-
- Ooh!
- [Lincoln] Yes!
- [Dad] Look at that!
- [Lincoln] Oh it's smoking.
- In today's video we're going to see what's inside
of Apple's new genius charging adapter.
What the heck this thing even is because
if you're getting an iPhone 12,
this is going to be something
that you're very interested in.
Lincoln, have you heard about this at school at all?
- I've not, no.
(sultry music)
Is it like a wireless charger type of thing?
- So basically Apple is doing something crazy.
They say that they are saving the planet.
(kazoo blowing)
This little box that you've seen for years,
- Yeah. - Comes with your iPhone,
you don't get this anymore.
- That's kind of sad.
- With your iPhone 12, you get this little charging cable
that's USB-C on one side with the lightning connector
on the other, but no box to use for it.
Apple says there are 700 million lightning headphones
in the world that come with the boxes
and people don't even use them.
They use their AirPods.
That's what I use, I use the AirPods Pro.
And then Apple also says that there are two billion
of these boxes in the world.
One of the most controversial moves that Apple did
was when they removed the headphone jack.
Do you remember that?
Do you remember how mad the internet world was?
How angry are you if you buy an iPhone
that cost you $1,000 and it doesn't have
a little charging box inside of it?
I think that's kind of insane. - Yeah.
- So the iPhone 12 is going to be very interesting.
It's going to come with a circular magnet in the back of it.
It connects hard and strong,
but they also have cases that will connect to this.
And they also have wallets that will connect to this.
So in order to get this thing working,
you still have to buy a box.
This costs me $39, and it doesn't even come
with the box to be able to use it off of.
- Wow.
- And the iPhone 12 doesn't come with a box.
But on the positive side, today's video is sponsored
by Anker, America's number one fast charging brand.
For the last few years we've been using Anker chargers
inside of our house.
- Yeah, we have.
- Every single room.
When you have one of the newer phones
you can get up to 50% charge in 30 minutes.
And if you're using this small five watt box
you're not going to get that 20 watts
that you need in order to get that charge so quickly.
Anker has the Anker Nano, which is this little guy
that looks very similar to this one, similar size.
This one will charge three times faster
than Apple's standard box that they've always
had in their box, that they have billions
of them out there in the world right now.
- Apple is so strange.
Why would you not just make it faster?
- Just make it faster, right?
These boxes are so useless.
Anker's patented Power IQ 3.0 technology
lets it charge incredibly fast.
We have a link in the description where you can get 10% off.
Ditch your small box, use the Anker Nano.
- Yeah.
- Thank you Anker for sponsoring this video.
We need to destroy this MagSafe charger.
And we all love a good destruction.
(upbeat music)
Try to just plug it in.
- [Lincoln] It works!
- There we go, this charges at 15 Watts,
which if you have a regular wireless charger,
that's typically 7.5 Watts.
So it does charge fast on the iPhone 12.
Well, this is how big it is.
This has magnets built into it.
So even with older phones, it'll still connect to it.
- That's nice.
- So you can plug it in
and it will wireless charge it.
- Aren't magnets not good for like credit cards and stuff?
- There's a definitely a certain level
of magnets that is not good
for credit cards that will wipe off the strip on it.
We did a video a while back, like years ago
it was what's inside the levitating speaker.
- [Lincoln] Speaker.
- I think it was.
And there were strong magnets inside of that,
that's how it works.
- That like broke your computer.
- I put the magnet
on top of my computer and it wiped the entire hard drive.
I had to take it in and get it fixed
by Apple and they fixed it, which was great.
- Yeah.
- But magnets are not something
that you typically want around electronics.
The first step is going to be the bend test.
(crunching)
- [Lincoln] Yeah.
Oh yeah, I can see some coils in there.
- Okay, here we go.
- Wow.
- There's the first step.
Maybe that, okay drop it.
- Even just from this first bend you can definitely tell
that this material you put the phone on is rubber.
And then you can start to see that they're,
in the inside there's a few copper wires.
- Yeah, We're definitely getting on the inside.
That was fun.
I liked bending it like that.
Oh, it's smoking.
(crunching)
Oh boy, is it plugged in?
- No, it just was smoking.
What do you think was that?
- The smoke? - Yeah.
Probably just some powder
probably just some deadly powder
that you shouldn't breathe in, ever.
We have cracked it open.
We actually cracked it in half.
I don't know,
that they make round magnets like circular magnets.
And so I think inside of here, it's little square magnets,
we're about to find that out.
Here's one of the break points,
kind of like the iPad Pro,
how it breaks at a breaking point.
This one kind of does it in between the magnets
and then you can see underneath the rubber.
Oh yeah.
Oh baby.
- Yes.
- Ooh!
- Yes! - Look at that!
- That was easy, wow.
- That is so cool, as soon as you pull off
this little rubber part, it looks like,
what does this look like Hunter?
- [Hunter] It's the arc reactor from Iron Man.
- Right here, Tony stark, he wears it right there.
- That's what I can be for Halloween now.
- But the charging box is not included.
(child crying) - Ah danget!
It won't light up.
- I'm hoping we, in the edit
we inserted like fake laughter right there of my dad joke.
(tape rewinding)
The charging box is not included.
(roaring laughter)
- Danget, it won't light up.
- Does it still charge?
- Don't touch that Lincoln I'm plugging it in.
I'm plugging it in.
(crowd laughing)
Nope. (crowd sighing)
Oh, it's still charging.
- [Lincoln] What?
- It's still charging, did you see that?
Boom!
Look, I have nothing plugged in the end,
and I'm not like tricking you here.
It still works, even with that.
- Even with this off and it's super bent.
- That is cool. (baby cooing)
This is the coil that you usually see
in any type of wireless charger in Qi wireless,
I think they call it.
That's why this is universal.
The difference is, right here when I put the knife
around the edges, that's where the magnets are.
But for now, let's see if I can get underneath the charger
and I should probably unplug this at this point.
Okay good, it was unplugged.
(techno music)
- Just pull it.
- Yeah just pull it with this guy.
- [Lincoln] Mm-hmm.
- These pliers work like a charm.
Whoa, Whoa.
Okay, all right.
Here is your full on Qi wireless
that charges at 15 Watts on the iPhone 12.
I'm not sure how fast it charges on the other phones.
The back of it, it just basically has-
- [Lincoln] Protected little chips, that's inside of there.
- And then the rest of it yeah, it's just metal.
Like I want to see the actual magnets inside
of the MagSafe charger.
This is what Apple is showing us as the latest
and greatest in technology magnets,
and there you go, there's two of them right there.
Magnet, magnet, they are not connected,
it's not a full circle that goes all around.
It's just little segments of them.
The magnets are not like glued onto there really.
There's a little bit of adhesive, really not that strong.
- It's a pretty strong magnet.
- Here we go.
There's your charging cable right there.
I'm counting 18 magnets inside
of this that go around, rectangular shaped magnets
with a little bit of an adhesive underneath it.
But you can see when I just like go in and,
oh, sticks to it.
There's a little plastic,
silicone hard silicone feeling material.
That's just underneath that.
Then they have the adhesive
for the magnet that just kind of keeps it on there.
There it is.
Just make sure
that you go and buy a box with today's sponsor, Anker,
and there's a 10% discount if you click
on the link in the description.
I love tearing stuff apart, it's so fun,
look at that.
You know how they're saving the planet?
- Eliminating plastic.
That would be something.
- Did you plug your watch in also on the same charger?
- We'll see, I feel like we need to get the iPhone 12
and see if we can find those magnets like in a video,
we should probably,
- [Hunter] Yeah. - Find those magnets.
That was fun! (kazoo blowing)
