Buying over 100 LOCKED iPhones, what could go wrong?!

Over the past several months Noah and I have been working on a project of epic proportions: for less than the price of an iPhone 12 mini we bought over 100 old iPhones and we've been experimenting with turning them into a wacky network to allow us to play chess, cards, and even use the phones in a grid to make one giant screen!

Luke: “That means that it’s $4.20 for each iPhone”
Apple haters: “Finally an Apple product for its manufactured price”

Definitely the most elaborate and expensive looking Rick Roll I've seen in ages.

Noah deserves an Oscar for this video.

Those phones all being charged at once was iconic

11:35 - Looks like some kind of Apple ritual to summon the spirit of Steve Jobs to breathe life into the phones :-)

Full Round of Applause to you Guys for making this video! My Hat goes off to you with the amount of time it must have taken to get all those iPhones working to begin with and then for all the different experiments you tried! 👏👏👏 🎩

luke is the man from the maths problem

[HearMeLearn]

That chess game is actually insane, looks futuristic and really cool

[Aikidjam]

Imagine with a bunch of "newer old" 6" no bezel OLED screen smartphones, you would have a very nice big LCD 16K resolution screen, that you can put on a wall for viewing

Everyone in the apartment buildings popcorn popped when they turned on the charger.

Internet: people aren't getting rick rolled anymore, they just aren't falling for the obvious traps anymore.
Luke and Noah: Modern problem requires modern solution.

[NoahRubinCoding]

As it turns out, we can do a lot with them!

Watching this gave me that “it’s 4am but I’m not done with my project yet so I need to stay awake” feeling. Props to you guys for your dedication and hard work on this project

You know Luke, you could easily just be another flashy tech YouTuber face in the crowd but its videos like this that demonstrates what sets the few apart. Your videos are genuinely knowledgeable and helpful like many others but what sets you apart and seems very rare in this field is genuine character. You come across as a really funny chill guy with some, cool and creative ideas. Keep doing you bro!

Luke in a previous video: I don't have a stockpile of iPhones or Macs
Also Luke: 17:59

Part 2, connecting them all together to aggregate their processing power? Creating a server from cell phones essentially

Excellent Guys this is what being Real Youtubers is about. Lots of fun watching this video and lots of good stuff to help open your mind with. Shared this with my niece she's 11 and loves techies stuff. Thanks.

15:59 watch Luke rick rolling all of us… I really didn’t expect that from him LOL!
All the iPhone 4 speakers singing at the same time must be wtf too!

[MIKEY]

I wanna know is how Luke knows how drugs are shipped — apparently he’ knows.

The chess idea was super cool, especially how you color coded the phones for white and black squares!
