1st Gen iPad Prototype

[@Laylatg]

i wanna see a video of you explaining every singe detail of the internal apple apps

[@michaelandersson6088]

Same! :)

[@DongleBookPro]

I guess with enough demand I could do this, although the video would prolly be 20 or so minutes in length

[@Laylatg]

@@DongleBookPro not to say that's what everyone wants, but that's exactly what I want

[@reputationtaylorsversion]

@@DongleBookPro that would be great, especially since so many internal apps are confusing as hell

[@mb-iu4wh]

@@DongleBookPro Yes!! That would be so interesting! Even if it lasts 30-40 min...

[@zumuvtuber]

It's so unreal seeing so much unused space inside an iPad! That's a really cool prototype.

[@lbgstzockt8493]

I think it is because the sides are sloped, you cant really put anythinge there because it is so thin.

[@Piipperi800]

It's not actually as unused as it looks, the space is partly reserved for the display's components that are on the display assembly part.

[@McNibbler]

"Apple, please scan the code and see whose iPad this is" As someone who works there and is in posession of a lot of prototypes all I'm gonna say is that will likely get somebody in a hell of a lot of trouble and likely fired lmfao

[@PumpedSmartass]

And probably brick the device as soon as it reaches network

If you truly worked there and had prototypes you wouldn’t be legally allowed to discuss that here 🤫

Thought by your editing style and presentation you were some big youtuber I had never heard about, but 4K??? Insanely underrated stuff.

[@thunderbolt10031]

I miss the original iPad. It was hands down the best iPad design for ergonomics. It was so nice to hold in the hands. The square edges, the rounded back, the screen bezels to rest your thumbs, it was pure perfection!

[@iwasthefirstgoofpaste]

so true i refuse to upgrade past the home button era, but still even then newer models have minimum bezel and maximum screen mess ups from your fingers 😭

[@Ben-yz4jh]

@@iwasthefirstgoofpaste LOL. What an odd life choice

[@yy17782]

[@ChfHappySack]

Somewhat concerning that it has a "brick device" button in the settings lol. Don't accidentally hit it 😂

[@superNova5837]

That would most definitely suck

[@cirkulx]

always dump iboot first to have a last effort to unbrick it later

[@Techno-Universal]

The button can also be remotely pressed by Apple.

[@winSonoma]

lol that would suck if a hacker had access to that

[@Amy-mc7zj]

That's nice! Always awesome to see InternalUI and its plethora of testing apps

[@PumpedSmartass]

As a 1st gen iPad owner, I am still salty how they screwed it up on purpose by giving it 256MB ram instead of 512Mb like the iPhone 4, and by removing the FaceTime camera sometime before production.

[@RayEttler]

that's apple. user first.

[@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516]

Plus, it stops at iOS 5.1.1 when it should at least be iOS 6.1.6 or iOS 7.1.2.

[@averagerobloxsimp]

7.1.2 is heavy for that device.​@@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516

[@cirkulx]

@@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516its the 256MB ram, and even then it gets the software support of the touch 3, which is much more underpowered. it should have gotten 6.x regardless of the missing features

[@frizzyfrank2985]

The iPad was released before the iPhone 4

[@James64]

dankpod's set is looking a little different today

[@gmcnewlook]

Armin the nugget!

[@S1LLY_MAST3R_SHAK3_L0VER]

Dang, didn’t see that coming😂😂😂

[@BrackoDude]

HEY. THATS MY DADS NAME.

[@mr88cet]

3:36 - “Brick Device”! Now there’s a feature you definitely don’t want to fat-finger!

[@xanderplayz3446]

They probably have an ‘Are you sure?’ prompt.

[@LucidTownn]

The reason why the ram test app was not aligned correctly was because it was made for prototype iPods and iPhones.

[@Sneffe]

Please set your focus settings to manual. Like 20 - 30% of the video is out of focus because of autofocus. It's just a one switch (even if you are using a phone to record)

[@jalis812]

I still have iPad 1st gen with 32gb cellullar with the original box. Cant wait for it to become rare.

[@OwensMixedChannel]

this channel is so undersubbed! You got a new fan!

[@Plainapple287]

there’s still the possibility apple was actually using this iPad to test future iOS builds until they planned on discontinuing support in iOS 5, hence why it had all of its internal apps, on iOS 5, honestly just a theory tho

[@DongleBookPro]

So I *think*, given where I go it from, an engineer just continued daily using it until 5.1.1, which is awesome since it has a later build, although I would have loved to get one on 3.X

[@PegasusTenma1]

Internal apps video needs to happen right now.

[@hxdeci]

im fascinated by internal iOS stuff, so i would be super stoked to see a video going through every app! :3 something i've always kinda wanted to personally do, but prototypes are few and far between lol

[@real_terminalgt]

i just like seeing old versions of devices/software

[@BredBordLights]

That settings screen brings back memories, bro. 😢😢😢

[@mak_audio]

I love this channel! There are so many interesting things to learn :)

[@taxineil1]

I still use iPad 2 as a book reader.It's still in perfect condition and the battery shows no sign of giving up,its a shame not much else works well,everything else crawls along.

[@MikeLikesChannel]

Should be fine with playing back encoded 480p movies. My late grandmother had a Gen 1 chock full of DVD rips.

[@TotallyBCK]

could you please do a app by app video, please? that would be really cool!

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

Damn, are those bezel sizes the same as the original iPad? They look massive.

[@PumpedSmartass]

Yes, its exactly the same as the production cellular iPad 1st gen, probably you can easily install production iOS too.

[@superNova5837]

That was the dot connectors on modern iPads before the dot connectors

[@ceomg]

How did you acquire such a confidential item?

[@3jbro]

Pls give me a shout out

[@THE_CARBON]

This one was saved from being destroyed and it was sold on eBay or something

[@sosumee]

I really want a long video so u can go deep into every single one of those apps

[@dwad561]

I remember I bought an iPad 2 on eBay and got it for a good deal. I was so surprised of how advanced it seems to be to me. It’s crazy how much technology has advanced in 10 years. I wonder how things are here in another decade from now

[@CamH_Y]

I always wonder about that !! Thank you for uplode this video!! :))

[@nullzishere]

4:21 did i just actually hear him say gooey???????

[@tnode]

I really thought this was a dankpods video honestly

[@jorgebrigliadori]

Man.. This interface and icons is soooo muuuch beautiful and authentic than what we had since iOS 7...

[@Pika915]

[@Matyas_Ceo_Of_Matyas]

Are you eventualy going to take out the expanded battery?

[@DongleBookPro]

Yes! Unfortunately this was my first time opening it in awhile and thus found the expanded battery, has been removed since

[@Rebelnightwolfe]

Remember Apple didn't start using "iOS" until version 4.

I might have seen the “development team” sticker tag on an old iPad in a bucket inside a flea market. (Except, the sticker tag had a blue label instead of golden yellow shown in this video.)

[@kwiky5643]

Nice video

[@dylanlindsay1993]

cool prototype bro! you should replace the battery though! just create a sticker with the logos from the dvt battery to make the new one look legit!

[@RowFatMirk]

0:59 "And in 2010, that technology wasn't really around" From QR code wiki page, first sentence.. "A QR code (short for "quick-response code") is a type of two-dimensional matrix barcode, invented in 1994, by Japanese company Denso Wave for labelling automobile parts." Please don't just say something because you think it makes sense. This took 7 seconds to fact check.. there's no reason you couldn't have fact checked your script before shooting. Haphazard videos like this do history a grave injustice.

[@renussy5117]

He said “wasn’t *really* around,” simply meaning it wasn’t super popular yet.

[@costa-w3k]

If it existed, it doesn't mean it was widely used

[@jackalneck]

QR codes were invented in 1994. Apple did not create the idea in 2010 to track internal assets because QR codes "weren't really around" yet. 0:58

[@fraenker]

Well, that's awesome.

[@danyfdz12]

Dang it, saw the thumbnail and I was about to say, how come dank pods took away the green ipad case?!

[@Shaddow798]

How was this updated? I would think a internal ui build would not update Could you just update from old internal to new internal. I would think trying would just reflash stock iOS.

[@DongleBookPro]

I think it was just via continued use from an engineer, not super certain for older builds, but anything newer needs to connect behind apples firewall to update

[@Shaddow798]

@@DongleBookPro but wouldn't they have a new device that is closer to retail for continued development. Although honestly it is more interesting that that device is on iOS 5 compared to an older one as there probably are a lot less internalui of ipads

Looked the phone number up on the screen that tells you to call someone if found. It is or was the phone number of Evelyn Sell at Apple Computer. Can't find any info on them, at least yet. Maybe they were an engineer at apple or responsible for asset handling?

[@app0the]

Interesting the OS has a Compass app, which you'd not get on the iPad unless you copied it through jailbreak from a 3GS
