I thought James keeping every screen he’d ever replaced would be the craziest part of the video and then he just sticks his bare hand into a box of broken glass
with a pull tab for the battery, even. The designers knew that at some point someone will need to open it to not just throw away a working phone with a dead battery. Kinda sad to see how they gave up on that
That was the only thing easy to do on that phone. To replace the screen, you had to nearly take the whole thing apart. The screen was locked in for the bottom. The truly best iPhone to service was the 5c. I did phone repair around this time and I could be in and out with a new screen and battery in about 7 minutes. A 4 or 4s took nearly an hour for the same type of work.
Something to remember, Siri has to be connected to the internet. It used to be great and ACTUALLY interactive. Over the years, they dumbed it down for the same reasons macOS got less and less for professional users… really bad. So the servers of that version are probably just redirecting to the selected search engine in the settings.
Nearly all of the services in iOS 6 don't work anymore aside from maps ironically. Siri used to be able to tell you the weather without redirecting and it used to do calculations using a web plugin from WolframAlpha, but those don't work anymore.
They did the same with Google's Assistant. It's so fucking annoying to have these things, which are literally there to respond to voice commands, be unable to respond to as many because "the feature wasn't used enough". Wtf just leave it in for the people who DO use it.
As a fellow repair (wo)man, that tip on leaving the magnet on the screwdriver is very accurate. I do that for ALL my screwdrivers, even if they're already magnetized. Great job James! I would love to see more repair tips from you as well as hijacking Wade's desk. You might also be able to repair all the dents on his ipad as well. I have a cool idea that you could do. Try to game, but on an E-Paper display. it would be cool to see you try that. Probably won't work, but I would LOVE to see it.
When Wade started running into problems in his video I was getting really anxious knowing how easy it is to remove the back plate and install a new battery. Thank you for alleviating my itch! 😅I repaired a handful of these a few months ago as I'm learning to become a computer and mobile repair technician at my job. My father had a few of these lying around as back up phones. Some were water damaged and some had non-functioning buttons or batteries, so I transplanted a lot of parts just for the fun of it.
I used an iPhone 4s from the year they came out until the end of 2021. During that time the phone was smashed, bent and several times submerged in water but I always was able to fix it easily and cheaply with parts from other 4s's that were broken in different ways, it was actually a very fun device to work on. I eventually had to upgrade as I needed to use some apps for work that couldn't run on old verions of IOS so I now have an iPhone 13 Mini and while it is a great phone, I still miss the smaller easy to one hand size of the 4s and of course the headphone jack.
@@Khuros If you have a full time job and would rather have a hobby when not working that isn't filming you talking about a hobby, spending more hours editing, then uploading and managing; yeah, it is kind of hard.
I like to think that James did this without talking to Wade first as a surprise. Plus that magnet trick is awesome. James is awesome. Forget love, find the James in your life.
God bless you James, I love dank pods and have been on youtube for 10 years. The 4s video inspired me to make a full 30 min IOS 6 related video showing it off and what not. Thank you for tying up the lose end of the last dank pods video. IOS 6 is such fun to use but the app store got shut down which is a big bummer.
This was absoluely brilliant! Almost thought it was going to be a random parody video until I saw it was from the man, the myth, the legend, the James! Also glad the 4S just needed a new battery
Lovely stuff, we need more of James' videos at the DankPods desk :D And good job of being able to get the iPhone 4S working! The iPhone 4S was the last device to use the 30-pin connector, with the iPhone 5 using Lightning. It was also the last device to only support 3G; the iPhone 5 supported basic 4G LTE and the iPhone 5C/5S expanded on this.
It's crazy how Wade (who is just two hands and a voice) has a best friend (who is also two hands and a voice) who has graced his presence infront of a nugget-Phone S.
Nice work, James! I noticed that when I use aftermarket mains-to-usb chargers on my iPhone the touchscreen was all wonky, so it was a good idea to start with the battery replacement and try the touchscreen. I love talkative cats!
I once used that magnetic conductivity trick to pull out spark plugs froom my Civic. Didn't have a spark plug specific socket, so i just put a strong magnet to the outside end of my socket extension and that magnetised the socket down in the spark plug hole enough to lift the plugs up!
love to see james starting to do what wade did when he first started his channel except with iphones instead. we should call this channel “dankphones” now
Glad to see this little gem get a quick fixer up! I figured the screen problem would be from battery swelling, but no, just voltage droop from the old, dead battery acting like a big resistor. How janky.
not hearing complaints about sony's catchy names, and screaming "AAAA" from this desk, as well as the video not ending with frank is incredibly jarring
The 4S might be my favourite iPhone Apple ever made. Especially once you jailbroke it. That thing was a reliable companion for many years. Really a product of an era when smartphones were still fun.
I wish I would have discovered your channel a year from now so there would be more content to see! Lol, Not exactly sure why, but your videos are right up my alley! I binge watched all.

I actually WANTED to hear James say it!
"Oh his PKCELLS!!!"
Or maybe he just got lucky... this time
@@IgorAngelini "Oh! Not the PKCells..."
Nice to see James do a follow-up.
Such a silly little goof you got here James, truly a comical little prank you’ve committed
silly goofy boy
I pronounce it to be the most whimsical jape of the season!
my old 2011 macbook pro still going strong, a few screws on the bottom and its all replaceable
Breaking and entering and trespassing to mess with a man's nugget, what a scamp
I thought James keeping every screen he’d ever replaced would be the craziest part of the video and then he just sticks his bare hand into a box of broken glass
Did you SEE those hands? Thems' mechanic hands!
He could wash those hands in an active volcano and be like "That's a bit hot mate"@@toidIllorTAmI
His hands' covered in calluses, I doubt he could feel anything in his fingers.
@@IntegerOfDoomthats just normal aussie activities
I know. A box that size could almost hold a spider the size of a box of smashed up handshreddy glass.
It's amazing seeing an apple product that isn't a nightmare to service. Two screws and she pops open, incredible.

have you ever tried a screen replacement on these things? its a pain in the ass.
i know haha, if you sneeze while taking a twelve screen up it'll break lol
It's so nice of James to let Wade borrow his set for Dankpods
@Yoshilotloffehhh, i think your wrong 🤔🤔🤔
@Yoshilotloff oh you sure? I think it's James?
@Yoshilotloffthe desk is in wades warehouse which james probably does have a key to since wade basically hired james
Now this is a heck of a crossover. Maybe one day DankPods will have an episode with a red desk in exchange.
I want to imagine wade didn't give him a key so he jury-rigged an automatic lockpick
Yeah he probably made a lock pick out of like old wireing a motor and a disk tray of a original PlayStation
Frank let him in
Well....he does work at the warehouse. So he most likely has a key. Do remember wades desk is in the warehouse too.
Don't you mean the WadeHouse?
james is the australian lock picking lawyer (among many other things)
As part Australian I can confirm this is a certified moment in Australia history.
same
as a full Australian I can confirm that also
😂 Absolutely love these two. Dynamic duo.
As a guy who has never seen a single Australian in his entire life, I can confirm that too
An Australian Heritage Moment
I like to think that Wade is sitting behind James quietly critiquing him
He was in Canada for LTX lol

4:43 it's incredibly meta to watch a video about a device on the exact device the video was made about
It also feels a bit weird because the device was dead in the video but now it isn't.
The hijack was perfect, there was even a pet moment at the end!
The Ultimate Crossover, now for Dankpods to take over James' set
he opens a MP3 on james set
@@EthanWolfHarris no he has to do what james dus and fix a gaming thing
@@davidtaylor-iw9kh he gotta do a portable megadrive
Not sure I've ever seen a crossover where only one party is present! This was very sweet.
James on the dankpods desk is just... Amazing!
Hes even fixing an iphone!
It feels so weird seeing the set and not an angry Australian man, but I like this Smart n’ collected Australian man just as much
Wade is so lucky to have a pal like you James. You are awesome man, keep it up with this great content.
Seeing James at wades desk is absolutely surreal
but..... _we never actually saw James_
As an Australian i can confirm, this is the kind of thing we just do to each other for giggles
I'm so happy you got that iPhone fixed for him. He's gonna have to give us a round 2
Be interesting to potentially see you fix more of his broken boys
Broken boys? He's James, not Geppetto lol
I hope when Wade gets back, he now does his full exploration of the phone. Thank you for yet again saving his bacon with your techno wizardry!

I bought my iphone 4 as a plastic container full of bits. Previous owner tried to fix it and gave up. That phone lasted me ages.

This was absoluely brilliant! Almost thought it was going to be a random parody video until I saw it was from the man, the myth, the legend, the James! Also glad the 4S just needed a new battery
Wade destroys things, James fixes them.
Truly, a match made for a sitcom.
I'm convinced every Australian is just a pair of hands
brave of you to put your hand directly into a box full of broken glass
Mechanic hands 😂
This would actually be a hilarious thing to keep doing. Wade gets a dud, James tries to fix it. That would be great to watch

We welcome you with open arms, JamesFix
As silly as it sounds, this really cheered me up. Thanks James
Huh, never knew it was just battery problem and then it's fixed instantly lol.
Great fix, James. 😁
The iPhone 4’s style was my favorite of all the iPhones. It was light years past what anyone else was doing at the time.
James is so relaxed and mild mannered
Him just casually unscrewing the backplate to replace the battery made me think of better times man
time to start an aussie youtuber cinematic universe where every aussie youtuber uses the set of another like a game of roulette
