Only wade can keep us entertained while the main star of the show decides to pass out on stage
Almost definitely an issue of the battery fusing to itself from being left alone and expanding from receiving a charge it's not capable of holding. It's the biggest gutter about sealed old hardware. You basically HAVE to get a new battery to use it. Edit: James fixed it on his channel!
6:36 Bro's screaming like Wheatley from Portal 2.
The mic tests with random stories in pure aussie dialect are the highlight of my day ❤
Remember when Apple got sued for making this unbearably slow by updating it to ios 9? Those where the days!
I remember Siri being the BIGGEST deal when it came out. It was referenced in everything.
In true DankPods fashion, something goes terribly wrong in the most unexpected (yet somehow still expected) way lmao
The mic was surprisingly good
3:22 "It's like the linen background?" Nah mate, that's the sexy speaker background. <3
Touch screens can freak out with funny power sources. Try connecting it to a genuine charger. Also changing the battery on a 4/4s is really easy, i'd argue it's easier than an iPod classic.
The mic test rambling character might be my favorite recurring bit on this whole channel, he's perfect.
I LOVE the mic tests man, they're always so creative.
5:39 still better than any of the wireless headphone mics that we are forced to use today
4S was my first phone as a kid. I still have it and it still works! Its fully jailbroken, off contract, and i keep a few games that i used to play on there (some of which are no longer available through the app store).
Friend of mine had that problem once, for him it was actually just a case of the battery becoming a pillow and pressing on the back of the screen. Might give that a shot since it was fairly easy to replace them back then. lol
I miss my 4S. It was my first iPhone and it was just a beautiful piece of technology. I'd remove it from my case to admire it - it was tactile and felt so premium and precision engineered. It sounds weird fetishising a phone, but it's such a beautiful piece of design and really looks timeless.
I look forward to every Thursday thanks to Dankpods, thank you so much for the amazing content!
That was actually one of the 2012-era 4S models that shipped with iOS 6, too. iOS 6 is still the best version of iOS to this day and the iPhone 4-era physical design remains legendary. Like it still looks like something from the future. Good times. Btw, as someone who used iOS 6 full-time as recently as 2022, Siri wouldn't have been able to provide anything useful anyway; Apple's made backend changes, obviously.
8:46 "It's all ogre now."
