Apple Knockoffs from Temu Surprised Me!

Temu has some really, really cheap stuff. Are the knock-off Apple accessories any good?

Temu is the Chinese shopping website that has taken the United States by storm. The prices are crazy. Too crazy. It's estimated Temu is burning in excess of $1 billion per year on loss leaders to break into the US market. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out for them. I purchased a bunch of Apple knock-off accessories; from fake AirPods to an Apple Pencil. Shall we see if any counterfeit product is any good?

PSA: This video is not sponsored and I bought all these products myself. I do not care if you like Temu or not. Temu is probably not a place you want to shop (everyone knows the Chinese government and its state-backed businesses suck), but it’s currently the #1 app in the USA so I felt I had to check it out.

Apple: doesn‘t invite Quinn to the WWDC.
Quinn: Alright, COUNTERFEIT APPLE PRODUCTS!

“This is maybe… 4 inches? A size I’m rather familiar with.” This came so far out of left field 🤣 8:48

The fake airtag is actually better than a real one for something like a bike. The fact that it doesn't look like an airtag along with the precise tracking being bad would make it difficult for a thief to find and dispose of it

I don’t mind knock offs that much when they are cheaper and transparently listed as such, but once I bought AirPods from a reputable store front, paid full price, and when I got them they seemed legit, I never had originals, their paired like real AirPods, had serials numbers and all, but they were counterfeit. They sounded alright. The only giveaway was the transparency mode that was unreliable, so I returned it.

I prefer your unscripted videos over the scripted ones. They have a genuine spontaneity and an “unplanned” feel to them.

Honestly that knock off airtag is solid. Ive noticed a lot of range issues when the official airtag is in a bag/obstructed

[andycress]

Honestly, the tracker's performance seems a lot like my experience with an actual AirTag. I wonder how it performs regarding notifying others that an item/AirTag is traveling with them.

My wife bought a few pair of the AirPod 2 knockoffs for 3 bucks a piece. They were horrible, but the kids liked them, so I guess it’s good for that. I will say growing up, I used even worse headphones, haha.

This video was so good the counterfeit pencil sold out immediately 😂

I've never been disappointed about the purchases I bought on those Chinese sites. Tho I do only buy specific stuff. Eg. Components to repair electronics like new battery, new screen etc, Hdmi cables, Usb cables, m2 pcie cards, msata/m2 to sata adapters. I know how cheap they are to make. Amazon and the like sell exactly the same but at a x5 price. Brand names obv I don't buy at those stores.

I love finding good knock offs and counterfeits.

I once found a pair of gen 3 “AirPods” that none of the people I showed it to could differentiate from actual AirPods. The only thing that differentiated was the sound quality, where the AirPods were significantly better, but no one called the counterfeits bad. And it even connected like AirPods.

25 bucks.

It’s incredible the variety you can find between different counterfeits though. So. Finding good stuff is a genuine skill.

Why does that store look like knockoff AliExpress? 😀

[JasonEisenberg]

He has a good point about the more money you spend on batteries, bluet tooth, charging case, sensors etc the less you spend on drivers. This is why I really miss headphone ports. I don't like to spend much on headphones because I lose them ALL the time. I used to buy Panasonic Ergofit ear buds 3 at a time for $10 each and those sounded surprisingly good, almost as good my current $250 airpods pro (and I'm on my 2nd pair of those already)

Quinn I work at an AASP we've been getting counterfeit AIrPod Pros for a few months now in for service. They are doing a great job cloning genuine serial numbers that show up in Apple GSX as AirPod Pros and then the scammers are opening repairs in multiple locations to attempt get them replaced under a repair program. Once you start inspecting them the fakes are so bad, the serial numbers aren't printed properly and the font used on the back of the case really off not to mention the kerning.

I like Temu better than Wish. I like the interface better, even though the products are about the same. I don't know why anyone would think that things here are top quality. I expected them to be cheap, and if they work adequately, then that's a bonus.

I'm a photographer and use the Apple Pencil 2 with my iPad Pro to edit photos. I've already had to replace the Pencil once because i lost it. I don't need the pressure sensitivity so this looks like a very viable option. Thanks!

The humor in your videos are the best, keep it up man! 😂😅

“Maybe 4 inches, a size Im rather familiar with” got me dying on the floor 😂

The reason why the knock off pencil didn’t work initially was because the Apple Pencil was already paired. Idk why knockoffs refuse to work when the Apple Pencil is connected. Disconnect the Apple Pencil or turn off Bluetooth in the settings app, not the Bluetooth in control center, and it will work. You can also dual wield knock off pencils.
