$2 iPhone 4S was LOST 10 Years - let's fix it! (iOS 5) 

To find an jailbroken iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0.1 that seemingly was lost in early 2012... I don't know what the odds were, but this was pretty lucky. I might keep trying to track down the original owner, maybe a follow-up video too? Also, hey, new merch! wow cool www.91tech.ca/

Imagine him ending up solving a 10 year old murder case with this

Edmond set this up as a “slow burn” mystery to confuse someone in the future.

Videos like this remind me just how gorgeous the 4 and 4S looked. Best Iphone design ever in my opinion.

Back to the old days 91tech 😂😂 milking the 4s

My guess for the home button is it was replaced because the home button got loose and didn’t stay in the same angle. My iPod touch 6th and 7th generation both have the same problem, but those weren’t built at the same time, but that’s my guess.

The SIM being removed probably happened at the recycling place

I collect Nokia phones and when I saw so many models in this barrel, my heart broke

I found one running unjailbroken iOS 5.1, although it's broken, but still works extremely good. Like just last month

I think it was lost, but returned to Edmond broken. For what ever reason Edmond never repaired it, but took his sim and threw it in a draw for 10 years. After finding it 10 years later, knowing it’s dead and likely not having a 30-pin to hand, he decided to recycle it safely and securely through his local electronics recycler.

I've still got my iPhone 5 on iOS 7.0.4, I still keep it around as a tertiary device, did a restoration on it with a new housing and battery, now looks like it did in 2013, I love videos about old iOS products on old iOS versions, it brings back memories :D

Holy cow, ios 5 so long ago! Glad to see a video today when im off of work!

Dude! Call and also text those numbers in the phone! How often do you get such an opportunity??

this video was way more entertaining than I anticipated

The original title of this video was I found a jailbroken iphone 4s on ios 5 in 2022

It's really not that odd to find this in a recycle bin. Back in the day when iPhones were still a relatively new thing, myself and most people I knew simply dropped thier old phones into a bin at the entrance of Best Buy or Staples for recycling. It wasn't like it is today where people turn around and sell them for ridiculous amounts of money on eBay.

If you find Edmond, this would be LEGENDARY.

Hey josh! LOve you vids been here since 2018! and subscribed since 2019! this is my favoirte tech channel of all time and the first channel i have ever subbed to!

Remember to save the shsh blobs for this device. if jailbreak messes up you can still reset

id love to see a follow up video, it would actually show many mysteries of this phone and whats happend to it over the decade.

you should do more videos like this!!! if you can, that is. lol. this was a pretty unique video. also maybe u can do some repair videos someday. that would be cool. repair videos are so satisfying

This is very interesting, can't wait for the follow-up!

My first iDevice was an iPod Touch 4g with iOS 5.1.1, this video gave me a lot of memories back

These kind of stories seems so obscure, it's fun to watch, hope you find its owner.

I enjoyed your video! I'm going to try to jailbreak!

please josh more videos like this investigation type thingy it interesting as hell

Great video

This is an incredible find. I was thrown aback with all the jailbreak tweaks

Amazing! I wonder if he has any more phones left I’d love to see what other kind of phones there were.

I just want to say I commend you for looking through those phones for six hours!! ❤️❤️❤️

what a captivating story

i found a 32gb 4s on ios 5.1.1 in a recycling bin last year. pretty cool, it’s in mint condition too

Oh, that's nostalgic, I fell like that was the golden age of iPhones and jailbreak, moved to android around that time but I feel like jailbreaking is no longer much of a thing, which is sad, iPhones are awesome hardware but I can't comply with apple not giving me full power over the device.

I can’t be the only one who felt a stranger and good feeling watching this

solid video

My first iPhone was an iPhone 3G the year it came out and was jailbroken AF. I was the coolest kid in school. I still have my jailbroken iPhone 4 in my electronic bin “just in case” even if I also have a spare iPhone 6, 6S and an SE “just in case” as well… lmao

What a fascinating story about this phone lmfao I love it!

I use a 4S 32GB on iOS 6 jailbroken as an mp3 player when i go jogging. Gorgeous device!

I have an old iPhone 4 jailbroken on iOS 7 It’s a really cool time capsule too I’ll never sell

The apple product that I still have that's like a time capsule is a 1st generation ipod touch with iphone OS 1.1.5. A very early version of iOS that seems to be from mid 2008 before iPhone OS 2 came out. Using it today in 2021, it feels extremely basic and limited. It's still good for offline tasks like listening to downloaded music and videos, but for internet, iPhone OS 1 is pretty useless. Other than that, I have the 2nd gen iPod touch on iOS 4.2.1, iPhone 4s on iOS 9.3.5, and then oldest is a 5th gen iPod classic from 2005.

Thats amazing

Finally a video like old phones

AWESOME BRO

even if the phones got wet, the batteries were likely all very dead. there wouldn’t be any corrosion, only rust, so i doubt the damage is extensive on any of them

I got my very first apple device (an iPad) on iOS 5 when i was like 10 and got it jailbreaked by an older cousin. This was nostalgic asf 🥲🥲

Definitely follow this up

My very first iPhone is in its box with iOS 6 and it’s an iPhone 4s fully functional and with great battery life.

Beautiful dog!!!

1:36 Galaxy S5 is really not that bad tbh. I still use my S5 mini as a music player, when my phone’s battery’s dead. And while it’s not the bestest experience obviously, it’s still a great device. Can’t believe someone dumped that :’(

i see a blackbarry in your phone pile there at 14:53 i want it lol i havent seen one of them in so long

I'd love to see some follow ups with some of those other numbers to see if we can't find out who Edmond is

man, since your doing merchandise now, you should make a shirt with your dog on it !!

That’s amazing

I've also been searching for this.

10:07 hey Cola 🥰

I’ll be real, I got an iPad 2 as untested on eBay and a very similar string of events followed, except I ended up landing on iOS 4.3.1! Same thing where it was updated, at most, once. It’s in pretty good shape too, needed a bit of work to make the volume up button work but otherwise is flawless. Also it’s a 64GB CDMA iPad 2 for C$30 so that was already good value, iOS 4 was kinda the cherry on top. Sadly it isn’t jailbroken, but it turns out no jailbreak exists for iOS 4 (minus 4.3.3 specifically for some reason) on A5, even to this day.

Same i have 3 in the junk box found 3x4's over the years charged it up and using iTunes on Pc 1 worked reinstalled new update ios 9 ? white one is like new others be a spare parts etc

waiting for the follow up video!

I definitely want to see videos on the phone barrel

Yo bro you should soak the board in isopropyl alcohol and clean some of that rust off just in the off chance it might cause issues in the future

missed this phone back in 2017 the last time I used 4s

I’d take all the blackberrys. The first blackberry I had was the first consumer one. The pearl 8100

Man that's cool, on my next birthday i'll be getting one too but instead of a 4s its a 4 I found it on ebay listed for 20$ (usd)!!!! Its in mint condition and even works. Although I don't know on which ios version it is on

So cool!

I'd love a Windows Phone. Just for nostalgia.

discovered this channel from a twitter gimmick account shouting you out, very awesome content.

Cool. I actually still use an iphone 4s as my Main phone,and its working fine😊

fact that you waited 6 months to call the number you IMMEDIATELY got, hints you wanted to use that rare phone for a while😂😂

I put my iPhone 4 to recycle on iOS 5 only a few months ago. I never thought it had any value so it has been laying around since 2012 so finally threw it away.

I lost my ipod touch 5 in 2020. hope I still can find it someday

I’ve had the same mobile number for about 14 years, I don’t think you’d struggle to find the owner

The Motorola on the top of the last shot of the pile was featured in a DankPods video

It’s weird how the iPhone 5 gets most of the nostalgia attention now, while the 4S was the last to have the original 3.5 inch screen size, the old RU-vid app and Google apps built in, and the 30 pin connector

Does anyone know how to fix cydia on these phones? I bought one for a music station and the cydia lasted about a week now everything is gone.

I am typing this from my iPhone 4s and I am still using it

If you ever hear back from the original owner, we NEED an update video!

It would be cool if you could share some of the repo’s that’s installed on cydia.

The facebook app is installed on the phone, is Edmond still signed in?

I actually got my old black 4S stolen a few years ago after losing it in a rest stop and it was running iOS 9, imagine if that one was actually my stolen phone lol

Can you make a video about best jailbreak themes

OMG bump. I remember that app

i've always thought about how cool it would be if the person saw the video and recognized the device as their own or maybe a spouse's or child's or something. it would be cool if Mr. Edmond saw this! 😂

who is your family friend with the barrels of old phones? i would interested in looking through and buying some phones for myself

Yeah mate great video if u do here back from the owner please make a video on it

I have a old iPhone 4 still running iOS 4.0.1

Wow ios 5.0.1 so long ago but your so lucky josh

Off topic, but I saw a comment in another video of someone saying that they upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 13. That's so crazy to think about!

W O A H. also nice pfp

Did you have any working Nokia Lumia windows phones?

I know this might sound bizarre, but does anybody know how to get that kind of dock on Samsung? I really like the way that dock looks and want to root my ao3S to have it, but I can't figure out how. Any thoughts?

Im still using ipad mini 1st gen for my zoom meetings, running ios 9.3.5 i jailbreak it and install ram cleaner. Before jailbreak its only have 24mb of ram. But with jailbreak i have nearly 300mb of RAM.

Maybe no contacts because they were stored only on the SIM card and when it was removed the numbers were lost

iOS 5. Man that was forever ago

I simply cant imagine an iPhone 12 sitting in a dump, costing just 10 dollars, in 2035!! 😂

I wonder if Edmond is still alive. Can you imagine having the phone of someone who died after losing their phone.

Anything in the notes all that may help?

I really want a iPhone 3G or 3GS but i cant find any like i got every iPhone with Jone button exept iPhone 2g 3G 3GS so thats all im missing:/

I never knew costed was a word. Until today

while the dock is satisfying, it's more annoying that it doesn't let you swipe to the edges of all the apps.

I still have and use an iPhone 4s running iOS 6.1.3; I have to say, this is by far the last best operating system for the 4s
