Phenomenal editing. Although you made the guy that stole the phone seem innocent I comparison to Steve Jobs. A thief shouldn’t be celebrated as if he’s innocent, and a pioneer (Jobs) shouldn’t be degraded as if he’s a monster. Amazing video editing, and I understand the editing choices even if I disagree ever so slightly. Amazing work!

[@jcolombo100]

This could have easily been a Netflix Doc and we get to watch it for free. This was meticulously and thoroughly thought out and it shows. Thank you for this masterpiece of content 👏

[@IlmuMasaHadapan]

This needs to be available in multiple languages. Including captions. The whole world needs to watch this.

[@635574]

Use the KZbin app or browser with PC version if not on PC. It should have the auto subtitles ad the translations as far as Google allows it.

[@mewmm84]

You need to make a documentary about door dash. I own a restaurant and would love for you to come and I will open all my books and accounts. You will be shocked to know and see how door dash is manipulating and stealing from restaurants on daily basis. They are stealing BILLIONS in dollars every year and restaurants owners don’t know about it. Someone needs to talk about it and make a very big deal of it

[@albertojhernandez]

Whoa that would be very interesting to see. How do they get away with that?

[@MTJY69]

wow, I wanna know this

[@toaster143]

I use the app to browse menus and then order directly from the restaurant, in my area prices are cheaper doing that then using the apps.

[@hxh05g]

I’ve heard similar stories from every restaurant owner I know in my area and also that they’re also notorious for adding restaurants that don’t want to be on DoorDash and didn’t even know they were on there. They’re not the only ones. I feel like John Olive or someone did a feature on this. It’s insane.

[@AnonymousAccount514]

From what I’ve seen restaurants already know this…but it’s still cheaper than setting up your own delivery service

[@MattTalkTech]

Emotional and Amazing work from you guys! But you are right, lets never forget about those families who have lost loved ones. Next time we each buy an Apple Product, we need to remember those who are not as fortunate as us who have built what we have in our hands but will probably never own one themselves.

[@drewlipps]

This documentary is nothing short of extraordinary. The depth, meticulous writing, and attention to detail are remarkable. It’s incredible to see content of this caliber freely available on KZbin. The creative finesse and theatrical precision redefines tech content, setting a bold new standard for tech KZbin. The team’s dedication, passion for storytelling, and tireless effort shine through, an impressive evolution of fpt. fpt crew truly delivered here, and I’m excited for what’s next. Wishing you all some well earned rest! Happy Holidays as well all!

[@ekjotsngh]

About to watch this and just wanted to comment how insane it is to see you grow this far over the past 4ish years I’ve been watching your channel! Excited to see what the future holds!

[@KleytonWhitby]

Holy this was way too good to be a free KZbin video. I’m looking forward to the next one.

[@AJ-wg7fj]

While well-produced, this video is as manipulative as it claims Apple was in the whole situation. The overwrought, emotional clips of tech KZbinrs acting soooooo sad….it’s overboard and not believable. Bad acting. It also makes connections and implications that are unfair, particularly in the portion about the sad death of the young man who worked at Foxconn. Great work on the production, but the storytelling became cheap (after starting off pretty high-quality). This is the problem with pieces like this. If we hear sad music, if the narrator begins to communicate sadness with their vocals, oh yes….we must believe exactly what they’re inferring. People think “documentary” means “undeniably unbiased”. It doesn’t. Anybody who produces any media is looking to persuade, not merely inform, and that involves bias and manipulation. I also think it was pretty bold (to the point of legal issues) to recreate Steve Jobs’ voice using transcripts. The transformation from existing text into fake voice audio does not have a not non-existent impact on perception of the content. Yikes.

[@twalker294]

I had to scroll through all of the comments lavishing praise on this before I got to yours but I was to finally find someone saying exactly what I’m thinking. John’s narration was overly dramatic and emotionally manipulative. There are also many other issues that you accurately outlined. I almost turned this off after the bit about the Foxconn employee. The effort was there but the execution was seriously lacking.

[@Mashnut]

The reach in linking the stolen iPhone 4 to the suicides at the Foxconn factories had me puzzled, could have been two separate docos.

[@soulreaver4621]

Agree, video is just sucked from the finger.

[@DELANO]

@@Mashnut My thoughts exactly. Also, isn't Foxconn producing for many companies besides Apple?

[@MH-ik4bw]

THIS!! Thanks for pointing out. I was about to comment the same. But thank God someone already did. Also, I don't know why, i have never been able to believe FPT. There is something off or shady about the presenter and their presentation approach.

[@AdityaRaj-ey1uq]

Man, this is cinema. This is amazing. Can’t even imagine the hard work it must’ve taken to research and compile the facts and then have other KZbinrs as well to come together for a documentary. This is huge. Way to go, John. Good job.

[@salamihabeeb8167]

👏👏👏Fantastic video. I don't even comment normally, but the fact that I only wanted to watch for a few minutes while looking for another video to watch, and two minutes in I'm watching on full screen is ridiculous. I don't think I've ever watched anything that has captivated me like this, and I've watched a lot of documentaries/business stories. Amazing!!

0:53 this is called a Bento-Box. Hides the identity of the physical phone. I came from the world of tech where we moved from A (Alpha. in house) to B (bento=secretly in world) to C (commercial design) I had several bento box devices back in the day

[@Victor-The-Victorious]

Beautiful documentary John, just great we got to see this for free.

[@brotendo]

Man, pivoting to the Foxconn story seemed like a real non-sequitur. I was writing for a huge tech blog during this time, and I was close to some of the people at Gizmodo. In fact, before they even published the story about the iPhone 4, someone messaged me earlier to tell me about it and started the chat with "you're going to shit your pants." I vividly remember all the events, and recall thinking at the time that Gizmodo was being capricious and pretty cavalier about the guy who lost the phone, and the guy who sold the phone. It's also illegal in California to knowingly purchase stolen property. They paid a guy $5,000 in possession of a device they knew didn't belong to him. I remember feeling zero remorse or any sense of injustice when Apple raided Jason Chen's house.

[@ChanceIzLit]

[@JamesRichardsPlays]

Jeezus. I remember when this happened. I worked Apple iOS and MacOS tech support back then, We were one two of the only out-sourced tech support groups besides Apple back then (ACS, Inc in Portland, Oregon eventually bought by Xerox) . It really felt like the house was on fire for a while. Our approval to do tech support came after Jobs personally reviewed the first 20 of us. The man could be terrifying at times.

There is quite the stark contrast between the levity with which Steve opines about the story ("there's probably sex in there somewhere, somebody ought to make a movie out of this"), and the gravity of the human reality toward the end of the video.

[@br1an_b]

I was annoyed and upset last night that I ended up being stuck running errands during the scheduled livestream time of this doc-but then relieved (as a chronically late person myself) that it had been delayed. I had been gearing up to watch this all week so I instead watched the half-hour doc about Tim Cook with my partner who thinks most of the tech videos I watch are “dumb.” She really enjoyed that documentary, and when I mentioned that I wanted to watch this one, she actually told me to wait for her so she could watch it with me. Congratulations to Jern and Bern for presenting tech in a way that appeals even to the non-nerds outside of the sphere of tech KZbin. I’m so excited for this doc, and I’m sure it’s going to be great. Good on you for making sure it’s ready instead of on time. This year at least, even Apple can’t say they did the same thing 😂

This video is truly exceptional. The thoughtful and in-depth exploration of the iPhone 4 physical leak and the suicidal cases at Foxconn demonstrates a remarkable level of research and care. The production quality, narrative structure, and overall presentation are comparable to high-caliber theatrical documentaries typically seen on major streaming platforms. Your ability to handle such complex and sensitive topics with both professionalism and artistic finesse is commendable. This is not merely a KZbin video but an outstanding piece of documentary filmmaking (some would say: A piece of art). Thank you and the team for addressing these important issues with such precision and creativity.

Best KZbin video I’ve ever watched. Hands down, not even close. Hats off to everyone involved 🎉

[@adisolar]

As well as this is made, I have to side with Apple on the Foxconn thing or at least the part about operational security. If I was a vendor making a highly competitive product, I don't think that I would act any differently when controlling the prototypes. Seems logical to tell the manufacturer that they are responsible for the security of the devices and therefore, should be responsible for an investigation. I wonder what the authors of the video would do in their place. Just let a prototype go missing? It's not like Apple demanded that Foxconn waterboard their employees. They demanded accountability just like any other company would. If Foxconn did not know how to properly investigate something like this, Apple should not be blamed. Now, we can have a broader debate about the moral standards of a company which intentionally produces its devices where its most profitable to them, disregarding that which is considered problematic in western culture. But it would be easy to make a scapegoat out of them instead of taking on the ones who propagate this system and business practices.
