The Hardest iPhone 8 Challenge I've Ever Done: A Journey to Get My Phone Charged Wirelessly

It's Sunday guys, my phone just hit 100% and I moved the wireless charger in the kitchen, it said it took literally five hours, your boy made some muffins. On the bright side though at least the muffins were good this thing takes so long to charge, I expected it though, this sucks.

I don't know who that is, it's the AirPod guy. Hey is this Robert? Alright, bye. Alright so that was Robert and I'm actually meeting him at Starbucks right here to pick up the AirPods. The only thing that sucks is I have to spend $200 to get AirPods. It's July, almost August how are they still shipping six weeks later? Thanks Apple.

I've had these for a while now, and my opinion still hasn't changed, they look like toothbrushes. We're running, we got the toothbrushes in my ear. Honestly, I've had these for a while, and my opinion still hasn't changed, they look like toothbrushes. We're out here, let's do it.

It's kind of nice having like wireless audio, but it sucks because like I almost fell off the treadmill. That's when you know it sucks because I would love to have like wired headphones. The challenge life.

I've been doing a bunch of errands today, and I'm actually at my p.o box right now, shout out to the squad, and I left the wireless charger at home, it's not even in my car.

So there's a Starbucks here, and I've heard some Starbucks have like wireless charging into the tables, which is kind of cool, like it's built-in. So you can just drop your phone down. Android device can do this. My iPhone maybe can, so I downloaded this app. It's called powermat.

What happened to that Starbucks drink there? It's called powermat and they're not sponsoring this video, they didn't reach out or anything, but what it does is let's you find wireless chargers. And I don't know if it's just for like the powermat product or anything like that, but I'm stoked.

Hopefully, it works. Alright so in Starbucks right now chilling gang gang, that's the spot. I'm going to try to wirelessly charge it, it's the power mat, it's like the wireless charger built into the table. That's a no.

It, it doesn't work, So Starbucks was a complete fail, I think once the iPhone 8 has wireless charging It'll be good to go.

So I'm at Ikea right now, I heard they have like wireless chargers and furniture. Hopefully, it works. I found all the wireless charging stuff at Ikea This is the mother load. I don't even like lamps, but I like lamp, like check this out, bam just like that. We are charging on a piece of furniture, it's a lamp.

Look at all these other things they have here. That pad wireless charging, wireless charging, wireless charging like dude, they have so much stuff. iPhone 8 your boy is coming for you, with furniture too.

Whoo it's the eighth and final day, July 26th, yo I'm so happy this thing is done This is a hardest iPhone challenge I've ever done. Let me know in the comments if you guys Want me to do another iPhone 8 one and let me know some other challenge ideas to do.

I'm so happy to get all my charging cords back and all my phones, come to sweet baby papa Guys this was so much harder than I thought. Not having a headphone jack if you thought that was bad well, I mean wireless charging will be built in, and you're going to get a port, but I made this really hard.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enA cop literally stared me down. Alright wellAnd there's another cop, alright we're done with this. Hey what's up guys Keaton hereSo by now you guys know the iPhone 8 is gonna have wireless chargingI don't know if you guys can tell but your boy isKind of impatient. Seriously like I don't know if you could tell, and I want it nowSo I'm taking my iPhone 7 plus putting wireless charging in it, gonna live with it for a weekAnd we're gonna see how it is. So here's how this is going to go downBasically you need to pick up one of these wireless charging padsThey're not new if you want to check it out links down belowAnd it just plugs into your iphone, so since it's plugging into the iPhoneI'm not gonna have any room to charge my phone with regular cords. The only way I can charge my phone is throughWireless charging that is a huge rule, so since this thing is just flapping around here I picked up this case andIt's just going to protect the pad a little bit everyone likes a little pad protection who am I kidding here?And that way we can have wireless chargingJust like thatSo I got a wireless charging pad here and to show you guys that I actually have wireless charging on my iPhone 7 plusBam!Just like that your boy has wireless charging on his iphone 7 plus, and if you're about to write in the commentsI have an Android deviceI've had this for years shut up. Here are the rules basically I'm not allowed to use any other phones for one weekI'm gonna be vlogging how this is going. I'm going to be going around to different places that have wireless charging like IkeaStarbucks, I might be living in Ikea actually I will be the first one ever. That'll be insane, I'll just be on snapchatI'm just Keaton if you're not already following me, telling you guysHow is actually going. So I'm putting all my phones that I own in this safe hereThere's a few, we got a fewI'll rely on being aAndThe charging cords, these are all my charging cords not all of them are for the phoneI think we got like a snapchat cable in there, I don't really know but your boy has all his cables in hereI'm gonna vlog for one week only using wireless charging, trust me your boy is gonna do this we're gonna do it rightiPhone 8 challengeStarts now, and I almost fell off the chairSo it's day one of the iPhone 8 challenge your boy is a little scaredI just woke up, got my iPhone 7 plus over there just wirelessly chargingI'm going to do eight days of this challenge because it's the iPhone 8 and what I learned is lights are coolNow what I've learned is when the green light is showing there it means my iPhone 7 plus is wirelessly chargingSo I'm just going to show you guys that it's been charging pretty much all nightJuly 18 let's get it. Not gonna lie I'm more scared than the iPhone 7 challengeSo I didn't really do much today, I'm actually ending off where I kind of started legit in my bedBut crazy stuff is going down this weekI'm actually going to comic con and my phone is at 2% so I threw it on the wireless charger right hereAnd what's crazy is once your phone's kind of likeDying or you need to charge it, to put it on the wireless chargerYou just gotta like put it down you can't really use it and still wirelessly charge you can but likeIt's not really fun and practical so...Apple...What's up?Here's the deal my phone's at 7% right nowAnd I don't know if you guys know but wireless charging only works if you have like a wireless charging puckThe nice thing about cords is you can fold them up and everything your boy can't have any cords, and my car doesn't have wirelessCharging, some do and they're actually like built into the cup holder which is super sickSo what your boy did is he took the wireless charging pad, we got a cord there, bam!We got it goin', check it outJust like that we're charging in the car! What's good!You know what I love doing? Bringing around a wireless charger wherever I go, these things are heavy like the metal ones they're worseStill charging in the little thing here, it's a slow processFourteen percent we're out here stillYou want to be in my vlog sir?Crazy thought, so it's pretty late at night, I just go get my car washedI don't know why... But I had this thought. I want to go to the gym tomorrowI don't know why, but I'm feeling like it. Here's the only issueI lost all my air pods, and I don't know if you know, but to do this challengeIt actually covers up the lightning port so I can't use traditional headphones. There's no headphone jack because it's an iPhone 7 plusSo I'm going to get some apple AirPods, and this car really wants to get around me, we all have hopes and dreamsSo what I've been doing is just looking for apple AirPods onCraigslist the spot because Best buy and the Apple store more have them for like six more weeksI don't know why these things did not come out yesterday, so I found a guy I've been texting themHe's the AirPod dude in my phoneHopefully I can get him for 180. I honestly feel like I'm telling a ghost story, I don't have much faithI hope to get him. I don't really know I'm gonna get out of this neighborhood thoughByeI went to bed really late last night like around like 3:00 a.m.And I thought I put my phone down on the wireless chargerI know I did because when I woke up I like saw it thereBut since I'm doing this challenge if the wirelessCharger isn't connected or right I like on top of this pad the phone won't charge that makes senseThat's my own fault like I'm trying to do this challenge to see what it's likeBut it's just annoying if your phone is slightly off the wireless charger, and this is a problem with some like new phones todayIt's not going to charge. Hopefully Apple like sees this video and makes that change that'd be awesomeI know they saw the no headphone jack one. Like if it's not perfectly on thereOkay now we're good, the blue light it's charging, just annoyingI wish Shay right nowWe're heading down to comic con, and I actually got a wireless charging built in case. The pad was messing me upIt wasn't even charging when I'd set my phone down, the accuracy was crazySo we still got the same setup here with the wireless charging pad, and when I put my phone downAnd it doesn't chargeShut up ShaneWe made it to comic con this place is dope but your boy's phone's almost about to dieI got a party tonight with Shane and it's going to be sick, but since we're on the wireless charging challengeIt takes eight hours to charge my phone your boy brought a battery pack and that wireless chargerWe got it all your boy is still going to stay charging. If I say your boy one more time, I'm not going to be anyones boyComic con by the way is so sick, alrightThere's other cool parts to comic con but yo this place is insane! Shane you like it?It'sSickI have to literally step outside to have my phone sit and chargeIt's annoying I know it won't be on the real iPhone 8I hope not. I could be inside right now, but no if I let my phone just sit in my backpackIt'll flop around and it won't charge. Thankfully we have the case butIt's annoying ShaneSo me and shane are just getting ready to leave comic con right now, and I got to tell you guysI think I got the science down on this wireless charging thingI know it's not too difficultBut if you don't put your phone down it just won't charge. Guess who didn't put their phone down exactly right... Your boyWe're chilling at 57% pretty much all day, and with wireless charging it takes forever to chargeI'm starting to get the hang of it, and I start to get why it's usefulBut this has been tough, this is worse than the iPhone 7 no headphone jack challengeNo joke I'm dying. My phone's been on the chargerI've just been chilling on the couch for like a few hours my phone somehow diedI saw the blue light I know it's charging. This challenge is pretty much just taking Keaton'sPhone an en tire day to charge, so I guess that's cool and new, but what is that noise?Is it the ghost of wireless charging? Like please take me and my iPhone 8At this point I'm just gonna sing a song about my iphone and just how sad it is... Oh iphone why won't you chargeThis really sucksPlease chargeI need to know how long it's going to take this iphone to charge up to 100% I just need to know, so it's 7:09My phone's at one percent. Alright I got to turn wi-fi on too I don't want to get a data bill. AlrightDope we got wi-fi on so I'm gonna see how long it takes, I'm just going to sit here on the couchWe're going to find this out togetherYou guys are never going to guess what time it is, I didn't expect the phone to take this long to chargeI'm never awake for when it happens. That's why I never charge my phone look, look at thisIt's Sunday guys my phone just hit 100% I moved the wireless charger in the kitchen, it said it tookLiterally five hours, your boy made some muffins.
