I BOUGHT 300 BROKEN 1ST GEN IPHONES, can I fix them??
Thanks to Goveelife for sponsoring! Check out the Space Heater Lite: https://amzn.to/3uCmkaY
In what quickly escalated to the largest project I’ve worked on for the channel, I bought a MASSIVE lot of 300 1st generation iPhone 2Gs…. Yeah this is a big one. These phones were sold for scrap and haven’t been tested at all- so I have my work cut out for me! iPhone 2Gs are also notoriously difficult to repair, so this massive bulk iPhone listing took a long time to repair!! Let’s see how many I can get working and how many of these phones are fated to be broken forever… oh and I may have to give some away 😉

"Hey, wanna sponsor my video? I'm gonna repair some old iPhones"
"Sure! Great idea! How many are we speaking of?"
"300"
"…"
haha Luke the newb forgot the FireWire trick for iPods and iPhones 🤓 NEWB!!
Can you review the Apple USB Superdive? It’s still on sale by Apple
Normally people move away from sidewalks full feces, but good luck with everything you do bro
I really appreciate the tenacity you demonstrate in this video. I totally get it.
This is your best video yet
Great video! Always love it when you and DosDude get together. Good luck in your move to LA, but why? It seems the east coast with DosDude and Mac84 close by was the best for your content. Safe travels.
So, how much did they cost?
This was such a great project and video Luke! Congratulations on your move! 🌟
this is kinda crazy random, kinda maybe useless videos that I love to see from your channel, good luck with new location, time flies
New screens are cheep to buy. Buy a bigger quantity and get a better price. Fix the rest.
Great video, thank you! Would you provide a list of the tools you've used in this video?
Yes, I think it can be done. Out on Highway 61! 🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😊😊😊
Wait a minute, it seems like yesterday that you moved into that apartment; no way it's already been 2 years.
Apart from that, I genuinely think it’s the best tech channel I’ve been following on YouTube for years now. Keep going, and good luck with your new adventure in LA
you got royally screwed
This asks for a 4G upgrade board… imagine how many hipsters you could enable!
This looks entertaining to watch! Thanks for sharing this!
Good work. Alll the best in LA. Interesting to see the longevity of the hardware … but probably not a surprise given the number of old Macs out there that still boot. iPhones don't have hard disks to fail … but they have a tough life!
man i love dos dude
Welcome to Southern California Luke. I hope the move works out for you and I’m looking forward to more great videos.
