Imagine one of these Ebay sellers discovering that they had a one-of-kind rare iPhone that could probably sell for thousands 😂

[@ArianaGranade]

It is still technically rare but the phone is running a release iOS version so it technically is an iPhone SE in a prototype hardware

Based on the Perfecto branding, this is what I think happened: - T-Mobile originally used it for some carrier testing - T-Mobile sold it without knowing it was a prototype to Perfecto, an automation company (specifically they allow you to test apps & websites on "real hardware") - Perfecto then sold it to someone else - That someone else put it on E-Bay, where Apple Demo bought it. This would also explain the massive amounts of photos that seem to be useless, as Perfecto is free to use & does not delete anything after a user is finished "testing" (so someone probably just messed around and took a bunch of photos/videos)

[@best591]

Actually I tend more to the conclusion that T-Mobile used Perfecto software to test their own Apps in-house and somebody "stole" it from the waste bin

​​@grenzenloslear2132your comment got shadow banned by youtube don't know why tho

[@Amy-mc7zj]

@@best591that does seem like the most likely solution, I’ve looked into it and it seems that you are able to add your own custom devices and a “telecommunications provider” has apparently worked with Perfecto before

[@TonyLasagna]

Why this channel is not more popular is still beyond me. Love you work sir!

[@ILoveCats6000]

This model was my only phone up until 2 years ago, so seeing a prototype gives me an unusual amount of joy. I still have my old phone, there’s just no point using it for anything

[@PedroBastozz]

Gold SE was beautiful!

I have a gold SE!

[@rayproductionsbackupchanne3862]

this phone used to run prototype software for t-mobile to use and setup carrier services to work with it. it got reset/updated to retail firmware. which could work on some prototypes. but since this is a prototype designed to reflect the final hardware it just runs retail IOS without issues if a user restores it.. eitherway. considering some of the things inside are still prototype hardware. the insides would look way different in terms of markings and stuff. i'd love to see the insides.

“Hey sorry I realized it’s a prototype can you give me 20382 more dollars”

[@Viomii.]

I love how soft his voice is 😀

[@iPhone-jj9ef]

I still use an iPhone SE! I downgraded when my iPhone XR broke. I just prefer smaller phones. This se is my second main iphone (I have bought older iphones that I mess around with) I got with 128GB of storage same as my xr, and I got it in gold. In. Few years im going to upgrade to an iphone 13 mini with 512gb of storage in green, and that will probably be my last phone.

[@JuanesChiwirosky]

Congrats for finding it, it would be awesome if had any testing OS but still is cool to guess the story behind that prototype

[@SirGelbschnee]

Thank you for this interesting Video, this definitely caught my attention 😌 Would you mind to tell me the Background Music that you used for this Video? Was very relaxing combined with the review:)

[@35kflowersvlogchannel28]

I LOVE these videos!!! Please keep making more!!

[@DankyMankey]

This phone could've been used by someone who worked on T-Mobile's systems.

[@Edwin-km4xk]

Great video. First time seeing an SE prototype

[@blushslice]

So happy I found your channel!!!

[@AltheaLoyola777]

Why does it work? It said there "It does not turn on"

[@rafaelappleseed8140]

‘‘Twas updated from iOS 10.x

[@DOSeater]

Those log emails looks like they have some interesting information in

[@bluetube8694]

how do you do the thing with the iBoot header? do you have a special cable that does that?

[@cellularrepublic1]

Dang I forgot the wake button use to be on the top.

[@cerealstring71]

Not me watching this on a first gen SE lmao

[@breakinggames6356]

at least you know it didnt have a abused background where a attempted destruction of the device is done so it had a easy life compared to a lot of prototypes

[@mewity]

the giant dent in the back:

[@alivew]

Hi. Can you tell the name of the music that is playing in the background? I really liked it.

[@alitechno93]

I would love to buy those unit

[@krov.]

Looking nice, where i can get this type of Apple proto products?. Like is hard finding on Ebay the most of times.

[@citrus.airways]

That's cool!

[@Mizai]

i own a prototype htc phone i got in a phone lot when you start it up it says something like "do not distribute outside of htc or legal action can be taken" i have a second one of the same model amd it doesnt say it

[@ios6user]

I got same text on splash of mine htc one s with officially unlocked bootloader Check the bootloader unlocked or not

[@superkickprofi7374]

name song please.. it's too good

[@evergreenwu]

Bro snitched on the person who owned the iPhone😭

[@11SanicYT]

If it’s an early prototype why is it running iOS 15??

[@SammmN]

Someone could’ve updated the device to iOS 15, without knowing it’s a prototype.

[@neo_uwuowo]

"ScamShi" does that say what i think it does

[@ardcollectsphones]

unfortunately, no lol

[@matthiasgrunwald895]

The photos are very strange

[@AmanjLife]

:fire:

[@wantikjasonchiu4711]

Why iOS 15.0 because this would the is version that is on the most recent iPhones that are not yet discontinued.

[@SirGelbschnee]

Day 2 of asking for the Background Music 🥲
