**The Cheapest Apple Products on Amazon**
Today, I have purchased all of the cheapest Apple products on Amazon. Matt, would you like to dive in? (Matt laughs) Yeah, that one's kind of heavy.
I bought all of the cheapest Apple products on Amazon. Say, you go on Amazon, you type in the word iMac, AirPods, iPad, and whatever the cheapest one was, I got it for you.
**Unboxing the Products**
(I'm assuming that this is a pair of AirPods, so.) This one I can assure you is not. (Woo-hoo!) This is the iMac. (This is the AirPods Max.)
See? You look like you need some help over there. It's taped, but it's also, the tape is slowly escaping me here.
**Unboxing the 2015 iMac**
We're just gonna yeet. So this is a late 2015 21.5-inch iMac. Take a look down the side. This is one of the thin ones, and it sort of expands out to fit your hard drive.
Sadly not SSD. SD card, headphone, four USB 3.0, two Thunderbolt, and ethernet. So good port selections. Very good.
And you might be amazed to know that this, still fully compatible with macOS. It is completely up to date. (Asterisk.) Okay. It's up to date to as of today. It won't get the next macOS update that comes out in like a month or two.
**Testing the iMac**
Power cable, I will say, is not original and definitely just came out. Okay. We're gonna try it one more time. Look, Matt, the cheapest on Amazon!
Let's just give it a couple of moments to boot because, of course, hard drive means it takes a little while. Patience, Matt. Patience. It's gotta think about it. It's almost done loading.
(I will--) Almost. I will say, for a 1080 screen, that looks really nice. Oof, oof.
macOS Catalina. What do you mean...

Patience.It's gotta think about it.It's almost done loading.- I will-- Almost.- I will say, for a 1080 screen,that looks really nice.Oof, oof.- macOS Catalina.What do you mean, "oof"?- A lot of oofs.So it's dual-core i5.Couldn't even get an i7.- It's the cheapest. Eight gigs of RAM.It's the same amount as you getin the $1,200 MacBook Air.- All right, so if wego to the best channelthat is ever channeled.- Denki?- Wow.- There we go.- I'm gonna say Megaraptorcan just hang out here.- 1080p playback.- What's really dumb isthe PS4 experiment-- Looks beautiful.- Sounds great.I have a feeling my reservationsfor all of these today willbe the same pretty much,is the fact that this one isno longer gonna be supportedin about a month and a half.- But it's still supported today,which means that you can still use itfor a few years in the future.It's still fine.- The fact that you can't upgrade thisin any way, shape, or form.- Yeah, that actually sucks.- So those are thingsI might be concerned about,depending on how much you paid for these.- Do you wanna take a guess?How much do you think it cost?It included Amazon Prime shipping.This thing, I'll tellyou, not cheap to ship.So just keep that in mind.- Yeah, $200.- You get two guesses.How much did this cost?- 300.- 225.- 225.- This is a lot of computer for 225.225, I would give you that one for 225.This is a damn fine like,I wanna surf the web,I wanna watch a movie.- Ultra-fine, some might say.- It's not ultra-fine.- So, Matt.- Yep.- You need some upgradeabilityin your life? Here you go.The last good MacBookthat Apple ever made.Steve jobs himself personally signed offon this beautiful designthat has never been topped before or set.- I don't even know whichone you're talking about,but I already know this is a bad value.- That might be athird-party power adapter.- This is definitely third party.- It's fine. It comes with it.- The amount of third-party adaptersthat I've had that have caught on fire.- Do you Think Jeff Bezosis trying to kill us?- How many fires have you startedwith third-party adapters?- Yeah, Matt.- Started?- Yeah.- Two.(Joanna chuckles)- That seems like two too many.- Wait a minute. Wait.- Is this a skin?- This is a skin.I have a feeling that this is absolute.I'm taking this off.Oh, it's scuffed as (censored).- Oh wait, wait, wait.No, no, no, you're right.It's like not clear.It's like a little silverskin they put over itto make it look better.- This has been dropped many times.This has been dropped sincethey put the skin on it.You can see-- Dents. Dent, dent.- where the dents are.Look how many-- No, put it back,put it back, put it back.- Oh, wow.- Matt, it's-- That looks brand new.- So yeah, yeah.- See, isn't that so satisfyingto just pull off the-- No, it's actually really.- Ooh, I just got a whiff of it.- You smell that? Smell that.- Yeah.No, I don't have to. I.It's pretty-- How do you feel, Matt?- I feel violated that Ijust had something shovedin my face and told to sniff it.- It's not the first time, Matt.- I know, but like.- Okay.- Do we have a fire extinguisher ready?- I think so. Yeah.- Okay. Okay.Calm down. It's Amazon Renewed.They would never do us dirty like that.So this is a mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro.Now, this is actually one ofthe more popular MacBook Prosbecause this is the lastof the old school onesthat had the optical drive,that have all the ports,and, importantly, are upgradeable.Theoretically, if you were to, say,spend a little bit more money,you could have gotten a Retina MacBook,which is better in some ways.- Yeah.- But you could not upgradethat MacBook anywhere near as easily.On top of that, what you'vegot here is what I would say...Wait.- Ugh.- It's already got an SSD.- Mm-hmm.- Oh!- I was waiting for youto say, I was waiting foryou to pick up on that.- I knew that.- Why do I know more aboutthis laptop than you do?Four gigs of RAM at 1,600 megahertz.DDR3.- One thing, can you check the battery?How many cycles does the battery have?I'm actually afraid of that.One cycle count.It's a brand-new battery. See?Jeff personally refurbishedthis battery himself.Now, mind you, it is a little out of datein that it only goes up to macOS Catalina.If you wanna do some modifications,you can update this tonewer versions of macOS,but you're essentially Hackintoshing it,which is a bit of a pain.So that would be one ofthe big knocks against it.- If you spent anythingmore than 200 bucks on this,I don't think it's worth it.- (chuckles) I did not.- Really?- $170.- Okay. Okay.- Right? Not bad.- All right. Not bad.- I think for buying thecheapest MacBook on Amazon,I didn't do too bad.- I'd say go for the Retina,which has the eight gigs of RAMthat you're gonna put in here.At the end of the day,you're gonna be spending aboutthe same amount of money.- You're looking a little down.What about a dense brickof wonderful, delightful Johnny ivory.- There's only one thingthis possibly could be.- You know exactly what it is.- I know exactly what it is,and I'm taking this home.Would you say this isthe most trash productthat Apple has ever sold?(Austin laughs)Ha-ha! Word play.- This is the 2013 trash can Mac Pro.And I argue this might be the best productin this entire video.Feel the heft. Do you feel the power?- For the record, it's like90 in the studio right now,and this thing is ice cold.- That's very nice.- Yeah, yeah.- Oh. Oh, that feels.- It's just one giant heat sink.- You know what? Which is ironic.- I'll take it. Thank you.- Oh, okay.(Austin laughs)- Watch this. Watch this.See the ports? You move it around.(bright upbeat music)They light up. How good is that?- This had dual GPUs in it,and they form this lovely triangleof cooling that would take all the heatand just go (imitates air whooshing).- Much like the Xbox Series X of today,which uses that sort ofthe natural flow of heat,which is to go up.- The problem was-- No, there's no problem.- this didn't really dissipatethat heat all that well.- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.- So back when I was in grad schooland we had a whole bunch of theseto render out 4K video,we would sit there and tryand render out the videos,but these things would get so hotthat the actual rendered out videowould have artifacting in the imagefrom the GPUs messing up.It never delivered, and theynever updated this thing.- Yeah, that was the problem.They literally never upgraded all the wayuntil the 2019 Mac Pro came out.With this system, they didnot have the capabilityto run the hotter AMD GPUsthat would come out later,the hotter Intel CPUs.Like, it basically just, theybuilt themselves into a box,or into a trash can,as some might say.- A cylinder.- Cylinder is probably abetter way of putting it.I think a lot of people wouldsay that this was a mistake.It was a bad system. Yada, yada, yada.I think, on the whole of it,this was a machine thatwas ahead of its time.- Oh yeah.We don't get like an M1 Mac Miniand we don't get an M1 Studiowithout this bad boy right here.- Absolutely.The other thing that's nice about thisis that it is fully upto date as of right now.So it will not get the next macOS update,but you got a six-core CPU,16 gigs of RAM, dual FirePro GPUs.You got all the Thunderbolt ports.Matt, how are you not in love right now?- I told you, I'm gonna take it with me.You can't make me fall in lovewith what I'm already in love with.- Matt, I have a confession to make.This was not the cheapestMac Pro on Amazon.- Really?- This is the mid-spec Mac Pro,which for a mere $70 more-- $70?- Is Austin Evansscamming his audience?- No.- Yup. Yup.- This was $540.So-- I don't like that.I don't like that.Now, the argument some might make is that,for just a little bit more money,you could purchase a M1 Mac Mini,which is gonna besupported for much longer,and it'll have-- And it's gonna blowthis thing out of the water.Apple, bring back this design,put an M2 chip in here,and sell this design again.This is one of the mostgorgeous pieces of technologythat has come out of a lotof companies in a long time.- I've always wanted to dothis. Wait, wait, hold on.I've always wanted to do this. Ready?Ready? Ready?- Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, if you're.- Ha-ha, you caught it.- No, no.No, if you're gonna do that, then.- Oh no, don't get-- I'm not gonna. I'm not.- on the table, Matt.- Hello, and we're not recording on this.Oh, yeah. See, look.There we go. Mystery tech.- When I searched the word iPod on Amazon,I was horrified.This is a sixth generation iPod Touch.- Already a bad deal.Look at that bad boy.A nice big gouge right downthe middle of the screen.There's not a thingrefurbished about this.- No.There are a lot of products in this videothat I'm gonna defend,I'm gonna tell you are a great deal.I, in good conscious,could not remotely defend this one.Matt, do you remember how much this costwhen it was brand new?- About 200 bucks.- How much do you think I paid for it?- About 400 bucks.- 250 United States dollars.As soon as they discontinued iPod,they're now collectibles,which means that theprices have skyrocketed.- But like-- I guarantee you,you could have bought thisiPod a couple years agofor 50 bucks.I'm not even exaggerating.Now, there are some things I can saythat are nice about the iPod.This is still, I think, one of,if not the thinnest iOSdevice they've ever made.- Yes. This is what theiPhone Mini should have been.The fact that you can get an actual iPhonewhich is gonna be the same price as this.Ow.- You didn't catch it.- Well, 'cause you hit me in the hand.What?- This will cheer you up.This will cheer you up.- Absolutely not, young man.- AirPods.- I don't care if, no.You couldn't pay meto wear someone else's headphones.- They're renewed. Whatcould possibly go wrong?They're AirPods 2,mind you.- Ear crabs.- What? They're ear crabs?- Ear crabs.- So I'm gonna pop thesebad boys in my ear.(bass-heavy music)- Yeah, I don't knowhow he's not deaf yet.'Cause he just listens toheadphones at like full volume.(bass-heavy music)I'm not part of this.- They sound like AirPods.- Well, they are AirPods.- That's my review.How much would you pay?- None. None monies.If you gave me $100,I still would not haveput those in my ears.- What if you gave Amazon $109?- No. What?109? What?- What?- You could buy Pros for like 180.(Austin laughs)It's not often that I get to be mad abouthow much money thatAustin spent on something,but do not buy refurbished headphonesfor $10 less than youcan buy them brand new.Just gonna go ahead and.(Austin laughs)- How dare you.You know, Josh, just gaveme a compliment todayabout getting shots of boxes for B-rolland you threw it in the trash.- Yeah.- Go get it out of the trash.- Get it out of the trash,- Matt.- Go get it.- Fine, Joanna.(crew member laughs)- Matt.- Yep.- What if I were to tellyou that inside this boxis the cheapest Apple pricethat is in this video?What would you say to that, huh?- I'm gonna guess this is an iPad.- Well, yeah, 'cause it says iPad on it.Look, this is an iPad Air.The first generation iPad Air.- Yeah. Oh it's on in the box.- What?- It's just on.- Thanks. They alreadyturned it on. (laughs)- Is that covering up something?This is etched away. Feel that.I don't think that's a sticker.- If you feel it, it'sactually like super smooth.There is some text underneath.- I wonder if it-- Oh.- Yeah. That's mepulling on the aluminum.- Yeah, it's actually sunken in.It's almost like it was put in some clampand went like (imitates metal clunking).So that I think is permanent.- Yep. That is definitely permanent.But it's snappy, like, for what it is.- Yeah.This design is almost identicalto the current $330 base iPad.They have just kept this design around,upgraded, upgraded, upgraded,but what you're gonnaget here, Retina display.You've got the always delightful iOS 12.If you open up specifically for YouTube,it requires iOS 12 or later.So it's about as old as it gets,but it is still fullysupported via YouTube,which, I mean, again,if you think about this iPad,if you can play video,if you can do some basic things on it,I think for the price,that's all most people really need to do.You're gonna run intosome apps in the App Storethat will not support this.I will almost argue more appswill not support this than will.- When it comes to iPads,I have a very specific philosophythat when someone says like,"I'm looking to get aniPad, what should I get?"and I usually tell people,"Buy the base iPad, but buy it brand new,or as close to the newest one as you can."It's not so much, oh, don't get it used,but it's because of howlong these things can last.If you get one that's likethe current year model,that's gonna last you for the next seven,eight, nine years minimum.This thing's gonna have to be 50 bucks.- 50 bucks?- Because.- No.Renewed from Amazon, $82. Okay?I think that's a prettyreasonable deal consideringthat if you're buying a $50 Galaxy Tabor Fire tab or something,smaller, not made out of aluminum,and you're getting a much nicer screen.What are you doing?- I'm looking. I'm looking.- You can use the iPad,actually, if you want.- iPad Air 2, which has-- Double the price,Matt. Double the price.- Double the storage.It does have iPadOS.All I'm saying, I feel likewe're saying the same thingabout a lot of these products,but yeah, this is greatprice for right now to do it.But next year, this might bea big ol' paperweight for you.So spending a little bitmore money will get youa lot more down the roadas far as how you can use these.So like, just spending thecheapest is not always the best.- No, I disagree.
