“1996 when the teachers photocopied workbooks” Yeah, they still do. It’s really hard to read and they make you write on lined paper because they rephotocopy them.
Knowing apple's draconian stance on only allowing in-house maintenence selling "refurbished" ipods you fixed yourself sounds even more illegal than selling fake new old stock ones.
When you showed the real apple earpods against the fake ones, my dumb ass thought you were only holding up the fake ones and they legitimately just sent you fake earpods with two left buds
Gaius Maximus Where the heck are you getting this info from? And he was making a joke about he liked the joke, but most people don’t, by the sign of it not getting many likes. No need to be rude randomly, and be careful with accusation of a sex offender, you better have some proof to back it up
The weird thing is, if they shelled out for a good quality face plate (in my experience the difference between a good one and a crap one is about $3 retail) and sold them as "refurbished" they could sell them for about the same price, be totally legit and probably make more profit for not having to print and assemble a shitty box.

@@insanejughead that's not true he directly says boo I wanted bootleg apples stickers when opening the fake one and dumping out the wire and the headphones
Fun fact, Apple has (or had when I used to work for an authorised reseller/service provider) an internal support document designed to help you explain to customers that they’ve actually bought a fake iPod not a real one. Apparently enough people were fooled by these scams and then brought the devices in for service and couldn’t understand why Apple wouldn’t help them.
Cheesy The Gamer in year 8 I started at a new school and it was the first year of it being open. They bought a bunch of new iPads to use in the classrooms so we all stole the apple stickers out of the boxes lol.
The cable was also a different one. I still have the cable that came with my 60 GB 5th gen, and that has the chunkier 30 pin plug. The one on the resold 30 GB there has the smaller plug that came later. Which confirms the fact that it is a later packaging. And obviously the lack of the og headphones.
7:17 the chinese character after Administrator is 的 pronounced de (downward tone like "duh") which meaning is like possessive -'s so it's literally "Administrator's iPod"
Anyone else thinking, "I wish I had an ipod video right now. That's so cool how it can play movies on something so small!"? All the while I'm on on my phone watching TH-cam.
Yes! But honestly there’s something so cool to me about watching movies/playing games on an insanely tiny and crappy screen. My phone screen is small, but it’s still over 6” and is a very high quality OLED display. It’s great for watching movies, but for some reason I still want to try watching something on the shitty screen of a video iPod
As someone who used to do ecommerce work for a company out of Kowloon selling iPhones, they buy B-C grade second hand products, fix them with third party parts that cost practically nothing, and then re-wrap them in a kind of passable package and sell them as renewed (or if they're real bold, new).

I used the classic through my entire teen years because it was the only iPod that had the space for the amount of music I have. I was so bummed that I couldn’t use Apple Music with it.
I'll tell you why they can't get the font right, even though it's free, cause I've used it before making concept images. For whatever reason, every version of Myriad Pro or it's other variations, whether it's in bold, light, medium, or any other spectrum, depending on what program you're using, the letters are spaced too far apart. So unless you're really meticulous to detail, and select each letter individually and manually drag them closer to one another, everything's gonna be spaced out. I tried in multiple programs and though the quality varies, they're almost always improperly spaced. Of course I did this all on a Windows computer, maybe it's actually accurate if you use it on a Macbook or something. Clearly the person/people making these phonies is just half assing it, which is no surprise seeing as it's already a scam. The guy couldn't even be assed to use non JPEGGED images lol.
@@ZugTheDragon It's been a while since I left this comment, and I have learned since then that you can adjust the kerning, but once again, I've tried doing this in multiple programs, including Photoshop, Microsoft Word, Paintshop Pro, etc, all with varying degrees of success. A lot of times the spacing is still "slightly" off, or it'll be perfect for a few letters but off for another one, it's very inconsistent. Sure you could argue that they should've just used the kerning option at all to close up the spacing and not worry about whether or not it was slightly off, but that's assuming they even knew that kerning was an option. These guys probably don't even know what kerning means. The point still stands that they went with the default that most of these fonts are set at, which are spaced far apart, because clearly they were rushing it out the door. I feel like the only way you're gonna get the true blue spacing is to be doing this on a Mac itself, which I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say they don't have.
I'm 29 and really just assumed people still used iPods regularly. Your channel is an eye opener! I've been carrying around music on various iPods since 2005 and I couldn't imagine myself without that source of offline music playback. I had an iPod as a teen before my parents had a home computer! Lol. The days of taking your iPod around to friends houses and getting them to fill them up.. Good times? Yeah good times.
Those 10/20/30/60/80 GB were absolutely massive back then. I remember going to a 60GB 5th gen from a typical 256 MB nugget player. Suddenly I didn't have to pick and choose which songs I carry around, just sync the entire library. Including videos! The size isn't anything special anymore with today's phones, but on the other hand, you can flash mod the iPods and put some TB of music on there. So they're still miles ahead in terms of music storage compared to all other nuggets.
Right! I’ve just started using the iPod nano I’ve had for about 10yrs , the battery life can be a bit finicky but with enough love it works like brand new!
Your channel made me charge up my Sony Walkman MP3 player for the first time in what can't be a healthy amount of time for that battery. Thank you for bringing back my interest in portable digital music players.
So, you've been listening to a fake iPod for 4 years and this video is what finally let the cat out of the bag? You may wanna keep that under your hat. (The story, not the fakepod).
@@petrescuework-difficultcas6581 you’re right, but it just does make sense why the battery only lasts 5 minutes after only a year of use, it was always really slow too, I did like it during its time though. I’m just a big Apple type beat guy

This reminds me of those "ipods" they give away as prizes at like car dealerships when they need people to walk in the door. Those make the Lego one you look at seem decent half the time btw.
On his channel Dankmus he does streams frequently where he reveals his face, and on his video where he discusses his experiences with TH-cam he directly addressed the camera
@@ethand4784 On his channel page, under the community tab, he has quite a few posts where he talks about streams. He usually shows him making his remixes, but he's done others, like where he played the drums.
Not gonna lie.. at 5:30 I didn't realize at first that he was comparing two different sets of ear buds.. I thought the set he got had two left ear pieces 😂😂😂
Honestly, they probably would have been better off selling them as “decent quality used” than brand new considered how hard the Apple box is to emulate perfectly. They look so simple and so simple to open but it’s something with more than enough engineering behind it.
Thanks for making this video. I was actually like 2 days away from buying one of these myself, I had my suspicions but I miss my 5th gen so much that I was kinda blinded by the Nostalgia

Clearly the person/people making these phonies is just half assing it, which is no surprise seeing as it's already a scam. The guy couldn't even be assed to use non JPEGGED images lol.
But most programs do allow you to change text spacing in text options... So it doesn't really make sense to me
@@ZugTheDragon It's been a while since I left this comment, and I have learned since then that you can adjust the kerning, but once again, I've tried doing this in multiple programs, including Photoshop, Microsoft Word, Paintshop Pro, etc, all with varying degrees of success. A lot of times the spacing is still "slightly" off, or it'll be perfect for a few letters but off for another one, it's very inconsistent. Sure you could argue that they should've just used the kerning option at all to close up the spacing and not worry about whether or not it was slightly off, but that's assuming they even knew that kerning was an option. These guys probably don't even know what kerning means.
The point still stands that they went with the default that most of these fonts are set at, which are spaced far apart, because clearly they were rushing it out the door. I feel like the only way you're gonna get the true blue spacing is to be doing this on a Mac itself, which I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say they don't have.
I'm 29 and really just assumed people still used iPods regularly. Your channel is an eye opener! I've been carrying around music on various iPods since 2005 and I couldn't imagine myself without that source of offline music playback. I had an iPod as a teen before my parents had a home computer! Lol. The days of taking your iPod around to friends houses and getting them to fill them up.. Good times? Yeah good times.
Those 10/20/30/60/80 GB were absolutely massive back then. I remember going to a 60GB 5th gen from a typical 256 MB nugget player. Suddenly I didn't have to pick and choose which songs I carry around, just sync the entire library. Including videos!
The size isn't anything special anymore with today's phones, but on the other hand, you can flash mod the iPods and put some TB of music on there. So they're still miles ahead in terms of music storage compared to all other nuggets.
Right! I’ve just started using the iPod nano I’ve had for about 10yrs , the battery life can be a bit finicky but with enough love it works like brand new!
Your channel made me charge up my Sony Walkman MP3 player for the first time in what can't be a healthy amount of time for that battery. Thank you for bringing back my interest in portable digital music players.
just fyi, 的 translates to 's, so when it says "Administrator"的 iPod at 7:10, it (poorly) translates to "Administrator" 's iPod
9:23 - "I think" I was honestly expecting to hear "somebody's been here"
The editing deserves a round of applause
I literally discovered your channel out of nowhere. I'm digging it!
After watching, I just realized I was scammed by this 4 years ago :(
Sad
Studying the box and the shitty battery life
So, you've been listening to a fake iPod for 4 years and this video is what finally let the cat out of the bag? You may wanna keep that under your hat. (The story, not the fakepod).
I mean, if it works and you were still okay with it the last years, then this won't change it.
@@petrescuework-difficultcas6581 you’re right, but it just does make sense why the battery only lasts 5 minutes after only a year of use, it was always really slow too, I did like it during its time though. I’m just a big Apple type beat guy
"This piece of sh-" GOT ME WHEEZING
The beginning of this video was so wholesome. Im very happy your channel is so popular and you got your first discovery moment! Very cool dude too!
8:31 koolaid man is that you?🤣
Hey man. Really appreciate the old iPod videos. Made me want to use my old iPod. Thank you
What inspired you to make these videos?
David Kimball time to find a Bluetooth headphone dongle for my iPod Classic soon.
7:10 yeah it's a strange name 😅 also it's chinese and it says iPod of Administrator
(Administrator "de"{的} iPod)
Probably no one would see this but i'm just writing this cuz i like this channel
Edit: whoa 3 likes thx
Edit2: OMG 32 LIKES TYSM GUYS
@@ghostcianmewsubscribetomei8747 ok :(
6:48 DankPods Havin a mental breakdown live
This guy is the definition of "Professional Unprofessionalism"
8:17 - "Dirty Sounding Headphone Jack!" I like that.
2:11 "I'm gonna be all wooohhh yeah cool *inhales* well uh heh"
When I first found your channel I thought it would be boring. Turned out to be the most entertaining on TH-cam. CONGRATS ON 100K
🙌🤴🙌
Nobody told me Shrek would be spoiled when I watched a funny Australian man roast a fake iPod.
"If it sounds too good to be true, it is."
Words from a high school econ teacher that I'll always remember. And I didn't even like the guy. Good teacher, but a total tool for several other reasons. But when you're right, you're right. And he was on-point on that.
My day always gets better when I see a dankpod upload notification
As soon as he said "battery" my earbuds gave the "low battery" alert.
Great vid as always! You sure spent quite some silly time placing "new" all over the place around 5:04 😂😂😂
Mauro Vales those details make his videos a lot better
@@carlosmntr agreed
Me: sees green ipad
Also me: *clicks instantly*
3:21 alright let's get in here mate lol 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey mate, love the video and videos. Your actually the most entertaining person I’ve found on TH-cam in ages haha, most Aussie’s are are anyway can’t wait to see what eBay shipping throws at you soon 👍
This reminds me of those "ipods" they give away as prizes at like car dealerships when they need people to walk in the door. Those make the Lego one you look at seem decent half the time btw.
That accidental face reveal with the shiny back lol
On his channel Dankmus he does streams frequently where he reveals his face, and on his video where he discusses his experiences with TH-cam he directly addressed the camera
@@nwojdak what? no he doesn't I've been subbed since like 300 and he's never livestreamed
@@ethand4784 On his channel page, under the community tab, he has quite a few posts where he talks about streams. He usually shows him making his remixes, but he's done others, like where he played the drums.
I just checked the other channel you mentioned, apparently this is a side channel
4:13 DankPods: “you should’ve gone for the Apple Stickers”
wean u get a iPod touch Wi-Fi + cellular : “wait that’s legall. “
it’s “when” and “illegal.” grammar and correct spelling is important :)
marius james .
Grammar police where are you?
This guys reactions are gold. GOLD.
“These videos look like suck” 10:34
Okay
Dang, I swear I had one of those on my cart and was one tap away from falling into it. Thanks for saving me and my wallet from the misery!!
8:24 *koolaid man intensifies*
The clown mirror part is my favorite part of any dank pods video
It's that Makpto Naegi in your profile picture
9:05 my 50cc scooter coldstart sound :D
Not gonna lie.. at 5:30 I didn't realize at first that he was comparing two different sets of ear buds.. I thought the set he got had two left ear pieces 😂😂😂
Honestly, they probably would have been better off selling them as “decent quality used” than brand new considered how hard the Apple box is to emulate perfectly. They look so simple and so simple to open but it’s something with more than enough engineering behind it.
When the TF2 administrator starts selling "sealed" iPods:
(in character tbh)
Friend: can I copy your homework?
Me: yeah just don’t make it obvious
Friend:
Thanks for making this video. I was actually like 2 days away from buying one of these myself, I had my suspicions but I miss my 5th gen so much that I was kinda blinded by the Nostalgia
When they just threw the battery in there that just killed me 🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭
1. Thanks to whoever sent the ipods to him
2. The chinese thing behind the "administrator" is *de* , Which means 'Belongs To'
Ask me for any chinese help. If u need it though
David lol
Why are you guys bullying corona lmao
The earbuds "L" "L" got me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed way to hard!!! Please tell me some one else saw it!!!
You'll be glad to hear that in modern schools, the teachers photocopy still looks like pictures from the 1800s
