Apple Knockoffs from Temu Surprised Me! 

Maybe don't tell a whole country of people that they suck?

“I had to check it out” That’s what they all say 😂

@@adityachawla3189 Most people in China (like any other country) are great. But the Chinese government and state-backed businesses suck. This is what I refer to when I invoke the country’s name-the state.

@@adityachawla3189He clearly didn't say the people suck. I can confirm, the CCP and state backed businesses do suck. Also the small to medium sized scam shops that lie to US consumers about the capabilities of the products on stores like Amazon while farming reviews also suck. There are privately owned businesses In China that do good and innovative work. In my experience, the vast majority are not good companies.

Appreciated the vid. What's a bit of IP theft in the name of a bargain? Ethics? We don need no steeking ethics. /s

Gotta pay the bills, man.

That is the price for being independent.

@@coffeeandchocolategames This isnt paying the bills lol it’s not sponsored

​@@snazzyWtf why didn't you get invitation to wwdc?? You're the apple niche guy!

@@JeskidoYTwell, inside the apple niche he's kinda the anti apple hardware niche.

I about spit my coffee out

someone needs to make a compilation of Quinn saying sus things with the vine boom sound

“a size I’m not really familiar with”

Damn, I was bouta comment this…

Seems pretty big to me.

Bruh, don't be poor. You can always buy an airtag case so your airtag doesn't look like an airtag

@@hid4 Bruh, that's not the point. I want it to be worse so it's harder to find. Maybe you've never seen the locate function on an actual Airtag but any iphone will tell you where it is within centimeters. The fact that the fake one isn't able to be precisely tracked is the feature. Also, don't buy Apple products. The stuff they make might be well-made but they're terribly anti-consumer (not that supporting China is any better)

@@oat1000 They aren't very well made either.

@oat1000 Do you know if the fake airtag will let the thief know he's being tracked? Apparently a real airtag will automatically alert a person that they are being tracked and I've heard that feature can't be turned off.

Dude there is not only AirTags that look like a tracking. Anyone could identify these as a tracker even if it’s not a AirTag. Maybe you need to hide it better 🤷‍♂️

yeah this was hilarious

Nn ml😅 opmkykm moon

gee i wonder why

Also shows a lot of his personality which I like. Makes him way more likeable.

@@PhaythGaming _Exactly._

Yeah that’s bad. Sadly, counterfeits are often sold as, well, counterfeits.

had the same, 3 times. Surprisingly good sound quality but noise cancelling was garbage and find my does does not work correctly. And then could not update firmware. I wonder how many people who have never had one before would even notice.

My partner had the same thing. Her brother bought her what he thought were genuine AirPod Pros as a suprise before a long trip. They were in uncanny valley territory from the moment we opened the package. I went and grabbed my own and sure enough, there were everso slight differences but they were fakes. They paired like normal AirPods, and the case and AirPods themselves looked and felt like the real things, but as soon as you started to dig below the surface things weren't right. Handoff didn't work, or any of the transparency modes. The tips weren't removable (I broke one trying to remove them and they also broke super easily). The serial numbers were duds when you checked on Apple's website. The markings on the product and packaging were convincing but completely wrong, the font was also ever so slightly different. I didn't want to crush my partners spirits, but we got her brothers money back and he went and grabbed some from Apple directly. Such a waste of time and makes what is a cherished memory a tarnished one. The scammer doesn't get the money anyway and its just e-waste thats being shipped around the world.

@@DanielEvansMusic apple did make that iOS update that detects counterfeits. but I wonder if they managed to get around that.

@@JellyLancelot in my case it was even wilder, I got the serial number and called apple support to verify, and they said all checks out, and they put 1 year warranty on them. but yeah, handoff and transparency modes were the only hints to figure out they were fake.

Really cause ive tracked my luggage across the globe.... no issues,

The same way

I mean in a forest preserve the likelihood to be accurately tracked would be lower on a real AirTag too

​@@whyeven.1302Makes sense since the airtag depends on being in proximity to people using iPhones as I understand it.

LMAO - A knock off of a knock off. It's just china for you. Ali Express is actually a knock off of a Chinese version made for English speaking countries.

The only good Chinese website is Taobao.

@@snazzy haha truu

Taobao and PDD are both big e-commerce websites in China. AliExpress and Temu are their overseas counterparts respectively. PDD is known for its lower prices and insane subsidies but also kind of shady shopping experience, so no wonder things are the same for Temu.

Knock off stores now have knock offs😭

yeah i am sure u didn't buy the actural knockoff from china, those are liturally identical to apples (size, color, iphone pop up, battery, sound quality and noice cancellation) not joking under 10 bucks here i can buy all that and if i don't like it i can return it for free with full money back (no cost for me if it's shit)

@@TomiWebPro rofl, I’ve had my fair share of Chinese knockoffs from Taobao. Only things I could afford when I was a poor college kid in tianjin. Not knocking the quality, you often get a better bang for your buck, but there is still a difference. There is also varying levels of quality between knockoffs.

@@Alex-jv6ye Yes I agree, however TaoBao in china is already the LV brand in western countries, we use pinduoduo more often. Pinduoduo gave a platform to the knockoffs to sell and to compete (both in price and quality). All the "consumer protection" I've talked about in my previous comment avoided bad knockoffs to be sold on the platform, which have resulted in decent quality amongst most of the knockoffs I am able to purchase in China. This company, pinduoduo, is the og company and investor of TEMU in US.

u do right!!!same with me.

Some reputable vendors mix counterfeits in with the real stuff. Hurts the good guys, and makes price an unreliable indicator. Cords, bats, and chargers won't hurt anything, right? Many have gotten so dicey that you have to watch everything they do now. Shipping cost , dates, quality. Past reliability has lulled many into complacency.

I bought a new motherboard at the recommendation of a RU-vidr off of Alibaba that had an overclocked mobile 11th gen i9 soldered to the board. It's absolutely fantastic. Relatively high performance being an overclocked i9 but very low power draw compared to a true desktop chip so lower energy bills and only needed a very basic cooler. It was a little over $200 and looks bootleg as hell but I dig it.

Electronic components are very different to counterfeit products, which Quinn is promoting here. Counterfeit products are intellectual and copyright theft. Companies spend vast amounts on R’n d to produce products like these. whether you like the AirPods or not getting identical ones probably produced with slave labour and sold on an app that steals your personal data is probably not something you should be doing if you want to continue to be able to buy new tech products (or promoting in a vid if you’re a “tech” RU-vidr, who wants to keep his credibility).

@@brettone2002 Because I find it fun to find good knock offs. That's basically the first sentence of my comment. Also those original JBLs are often made in the same factory in China or Vietnam that the Knock-offs are. So you can get really solid quality. There's different grades. But yeah, I just think it's neat. That's the main reason.

its obv an advertisemnet tho for a company that abuses workers

We did this but still couldn’t get it to pair without using the Bluetooth menu. Anyways, not a big deal.

Maybe if people would read the directions before they used something then it would work properly, I noticed a lot of Apple Geek's love to try and make a fool of knock off apple products, but consumers clearly know that they are KNOCKOFF'S , why not make a video comparing The Worst to The Best knockoffs?

Definitely not top quality, but for the price, you can't complain. I bought knitting supplies there and they're actually real nice, especially the yarn! Surprisingly super soft.

your would be surprised i purchased clothes from there to experiment and they were shein quality. they were really soft and well made. Temu is underrated but with some items the price and quality is very low however simple shopping for accessories like some sunglasses will be worth it

I bought a genuine Apple Pencil 2 for £10, the equivalent of about $12 US. Someone had paid full price for it from Apple and just didn't like it. I knew them, and made the offer. They accepted. Deal done. Seriously, the real deal is worth no more than about $12 as far as I'm concerned. I certainly wouldn't pay any more for it. The things start to deform near the tip if you warm the plastic to add a heat shrink cover. Don't ask me how I know. 😒

@@RWBHereDon’t add a heat shrink cover then? it’s rubber of course it’s gonna deform, and the tips wear down you’re supposed to replace them just like every single other electronic drawing pencil. That’s such a terrible review from someone who doesn’t get how they work lol (and this comes from someone who got one for like 5 bucks too off a friend who didn’t want it)

Just get the Anker one

@@brandon_nope Absolutely correct @Brandon!

Counterfeit Bats and chargers are a big no go. But , hey, apple products are cheap, so just chance it!

@@brandon_nope can’t reverse wireless charge it, doesn’t show battery life in widget, doesn’t fast charge. So on, so forth

⁠@@Mooooooof Higher capacity battery, wirelessly charges iPhones at the same rate when not plugged in, can charge iPhones faster and more efficiently from the USB-C port, can also charge other devices, charge level available without pulling up the widget. So on, so forth

That’s what i always think

Yeah, some counterfeit airpods are crazily real, not only have the same fine print, same weight, texture, have the same software feature (surround sound, noise cancelling), the only thing to tell the difference is the slightly worse quality of the hinge

Sounds like those counterfits are actually factory rejects.

At no point did I suggest they had.
