- What's up?
So today I actually bought a whole bunch
of different iPhone
accessories from Amazon,
and all of these claim that
they can make your life easier
and that they're super
convenient, things like that,
so I'm going to be testing them
to see if they actually
live up to the hype.
Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
This is the wireless charger.
It is 11.59, so that's
pretty cheap, but it's like,
charging cord is probably about the same,
I'm honestly not positive so I'm not sure
what the benefits are
to a wireless charger
over just normal charger.
It claims that it does charge very fast,
so that could be something.
Oh, soft.
Feels a little squishy, I don't know.
How many of you guys got so many plugs?
So I'm gonna try plugging
this in right here
and we're gonna see what happens.
Ooh, it is!
I don't know if it's gonna charge faster,
it claims that it does.
Right now I'm at 86, let's
wait a couple minutes
and see how much percentage I have.
One of the worst things ever
is when your charging cord
falls down beneath the bed
or something like that,
you have to get out of bed
to go get it, I feel like the idea of this
is this is just on your
desk or your night stand,
all you have to do is put your
phone down and it's charging,
you don't have to really look for a cord.
I have this on my desk so it
holds all my cords already.
I didn't really have to
worry about them falling.
I also have it on my night stand, too.
All it does, you put your cords in there
so you don't have to really
worry about searching for them
because they're already attached.
All right, so we're still at 86.
So it probably does charge faster,
I'm pretty impatient so I
don't really wanna sit there
and just see how fast it chargers,
but I feel like again this
is a preference thing.
It could be something people really like,
for me personally, probably not worth it.
(upbeat music)
All right, next we have
this multi lens kit.
So I've actually had one of these before,
but I did use it for a while
and I did really like
the different lenses,
it had a fisheye lens and a zoom lens,
and something else like this
but this one looks a little
bit more professional.
It says it's a 22x telephoto lens,
a 235 degree fisheye lens, an
HD .2x superwide angle lens,
and a 25x macro lens.
Oh, it even comes in a
fancy case, check this out.
Ah.
So my biggest question for this one is,
all of the stuff is pretty much under $40,
I think I got it for 37,
$38, and normally lenses
are a couple of thousand
dollars, so I'm wondering
if the quality's actually even close
to an actual camera lens.
Let's see if it's
actually worth it or not.
I guess I should say,
the hardest part for this
is I don't feel like I
have the right phone.
I feel like these lenses
are for an older phone
because the newer
iPhone's have two cameras,
and this is supposed to go on the top one,
I'm fairly certain
that's what it seems like
is working best, but
that doesn't really work
with where the cameras are located
versus where the clip wants you to put it,
so it's not really around the
camera as flat as it should be
so I'm getting rims of
the lens in the picture.
And I just don't really
use fisheye lenses,
I feel like that's kind of
a thing a couple years ago
and I never really use
'em, but I'm gonna try
this big long lens because that's the one
I have the most hope
for, so let's figure out
and see if it actually does anything.
It's not gonna stay on
my phone the right way,
but this is where I'm sitting right now
and it's getting really close
ups of things from far away.
Like eight feet away maybe.
Overall, I definitely feel
like it lowered the quality,
100%, it could be something aesthetically
that could work out if all your photos
kinda looks like that,
I feel like some people
can really pull off blurry
pictures and things like that.
Personally for me, I don't love it.
I don't know, and also
the clip just didn't work
on my phone at all so I
didn't really love that.
Yeah, I just don't really
think it's necessary,
that's kinda my final
thoughts on that one.
(upbeat music)
Item number three, I don't
know how I personally feel
about this one, but it
is the iPhone pocket.
For me personally, I'm not a big fan.
I do have a charging thing in my car
and I feel like this would
block it from charging.
I just don't know how I feel about
having my credit cards just
this open to the world.
All right, so it's actually not as bulky
as I thought it was.
I feel like this would still
slide into your pockets,
in and out of your pockets,
put a card in there.
This just, Chick-fil-A gift
card that I really need to use.
I mean, it could definitely
hold a couple different cards,
about the same as a wallet,
but I have something
just like this on my keys,
it's called a thread
wallet, but I use it a lot.
Really, if this is in
the back of your pocket
and it's just sitting
there, how easy is it
for somebody just to come up
behind you and just snatch it.
Really easy, I don't know,
maybe it's just me, but yeah,
overall, feel like it's
kinda not necessary
but if you like it, you like
it, and that's your thing.
(upbeat music)
This one, I feel like a lot
of you all would actually use,
you'd be surprised, it
is a phone ring light.
So if you don't know, pretty
much any YouTuber out there
in the entire universe has
a thing called a ring light.
I'm actually not using one right now
because I have my window, but
I have one in the other room,
but I think some of y'all might use this
because it is also a think for TikToks.
Can make your TikTok lighting a lot better
and things like that,
it just makes it look more professional.
I'm gonna see if you
can see the difference.
This one is a lot less powerful
than the ones I've had previously.
This is the first lighting,
second lighting, third lighting,
I think that's also the most powerful, so.
But it just clips onto
your phone right here.
Let me shut off the
lights and I'll try again.
All right, so that
definitely made more drastic
of a difference, I can show
you the before and after,
but it also makes you
look a lot more shiny.
I give it a thumbs up.
(upbeat music)
All right, the next item we
have, a screen magnifier.
I have seen a few of these on TikTok.
Basically it charges your phone,
it claims to charge your phone
while it also magnifies it,
'cause I feel like it might
just be the same as an iPad,
if you had an iPad Pro
or a laptop or something,
I'm not sure why you wouldn't
just watch it on your laptop,
but it also has speakers
and things like that
so I don't know, maybe you're into it,
maybe it's something
interesting, so let's test it
and see if it's actually
something that works.
This looks like a TV console or somethin',
you get a little speaker.
Whoa, can you see me?
So that's not completely zoomed in
and it's a little angled off.
See, it just kinda looks
like my normal phone.
Relative to size.
See it is zoomed in a little
bit, you can see on my hand.
Not gonna lie, it looks bigger in person
than it does on the camera,
but it's still smaller
than a computer screen I would say.
Smaller than a computer screen,
smaller than an iPad screen,
so I don't know why you
would spend the money on this
if you had alternative options,
but it might be somethin'
that you look into if you
wanna just use your phone.
But yeah, I don't know, it doesn't seem
like it works properly, I can't get it
to fill the screen correctly
so I don't think I like it.
Also, it's kinda trippin'
out my eyes a little bit,
the magnifying, it's
kinda distorting things
which feels like it
might give me a headache
so personally, I'm not for this item.
It was a good idea, it was good in theory.
(upbeat music)
This is a wireless car charging mount.
When I first got mine, I was
just looking for a car mount
to put my phone on because I
hate when I'm mapping things,
I'm driving, and it's just not safe
and it's just a lot going on.
I like being able to see
where I'm tryin' to go,
and then I found that
a lot of them actually
had charging capabilities which
is nice because in my Jeep,
the USB is right there, it's
right next to where it is
so it was really short plug.
It was about $30 and in my
opinion, it is totally worth it,
100% I would invest in
one because I love one,
I bought some for other people
and they loved them, it's just super nice.
Okay, so right now I'm in my mom's car.
I'm gonna be setting up
this wireless charger
in her car because I
already have one in mine.
Yeah, so I thought I'd show you here.
All right, so I just set it up
and you can see what it looks like.
That is it attached to the dashboard
and it just holds your phone right there
and it also charges it if
you plug it in right there,
you have the USB and you plug
it into the USB in your car.
I love it and I think it is
something that is super handy,
I use it all the time, definitely
worth the investment 100%.
(upbeat music)
So you guys might be
thinkin' that this one
is pretty similar to the last one.
This also says that it's a car mount,
but I'm going to be showing
it as a bathroom mirror mount.
So it's suction cup, so I
believe that it can suction
to your mirrors or things like that.
Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead
and try to stick it right here,
I've already wiped it and
dried it and everything,
so pretty much all you have
to do is suction cup it on.
Feels pretty secure.
It's a little difficult to do one handed.
Ooh, it totally works!
I'm keeping that there, that is so nice!
I'm so for that suction cup thing.
I've been actually wanting to figure out
something that would help me
be able to keep my phone there
for forever so 10 out of
10, great, turns vertically
and horizontally too
so when you wanna watch different shows.
I like it a lot, it's a good product.
(upbeat music)
I definitely think that
this is a must have.
You guys probably all have
one of these too, or have had.
I feel like I've had 10 and
I'd lose them all the time,
but this is a waterproof
iPhone bag, or just any phone.
I don't know, my family's always doing
more adventurous things so like canoeing,
kayaking, waterfall
jumping, things like that,
this just helps a lot
so you aren't damaging
your iPhone and it's only $7,
why not invest in it rather
than getting your iPhone wet
and then having to spend a
whole bunch money fixing it.
I don't know, maybe that's just me
but I feel like this is super helpful.
So pretty much all you do
is you stick your phone in.
And then you seal it shut.
So it's watertight, there's
nothing gettin' in there,
and I'll show you because
I'll even dip it in the pool.
That's my phone, it is in the water.
And you can still touch it,
you can still do whatever
you want with it.
It's completely dry.
I think that's something
that's super cool,
again I trust it, I think
it's very convenient
especially on vacation
or something like that.
If you wanna take cool surfing pictures,
if you live next to a beach,
I would definitely invest in one.
I like this one, to go.
(upbeat music)
This is an emergency solar charging pack.
Says that it's waterproof
which is definitely interesting,
but I think it could be somethin'
that's actually very useful.
You're hiking, I feel like
this could be something
that could be really useful for camping,
something like that where you don't have
a UV plug or any sort of outlet.
I believe in being prepared,
so this seems like something
I would definitely invest in
just because you never
know what's gonna happen.
Oh, it's really heavy.
This looks legit, it's leather.
Whoa, okay, so it soaks up all the sun
and then there's a USB and you have
to plug it in to charge your phone.
But it has a emergency
flashlight, so you turn it on,
so it's solar powered
but if you're in the dark
and it's all charged, turn
it on, it has a flashlight
which would be very nice
if you're lost in the woods
or something if you're
hiking, but it also has
an SOS signal, so you press it again
and it'll just keep
flashing until it dies,
and it even has a faster version.
So right now I'm even in the shade,
and it said that when
the green one lights up
it says it's charging, and
right now the green one is lit,
so even in the shade it's
still soaking up sun.
I actually really like this,
I think it's really cool,
it's a really cool idea, it's
something that's really small
and you can just have
in the back of your car
or anything like that, I
have lots of emergency things
in the back of my car like jumper cables,
or I have wireless jumper cables too,
and things like that and a road atlas
just in case of a zombie apocalypse,
I mentioned that in IGTV.
I'm really all for this, I
think it's a really good idea
and I would definitely invest in this.
(upbeat music)
All right, this last one,
it is a UV multi-functional sterilizer.
I feel like with everything going on,
this felt like a good thing
to kind of add in here,
but I have heard a little
bit of mixed reviews about it
so I bought it for $50, it's definitely
the most expensive item that I bought,
and I'm just a little skeptical I guess.
It claims that it can
sterilize your phone,
you put it in the thing
and it takes eight minutes
to sterilize it which
would definitely be nice
because you don't know how
many germs are on your phone.
I bet you could imagine, but I've heard
that people say it's
dirtier than a toilet seat.
But it does say that
it kills 99.9% of germs
so I guess it's about
equivalent as hand sanitizing
so probably the same
as Cloroxing your phone
or something like that.
So literally it just looks like
you just stick your phone in there.
Pretty simple.
I'll come back in eight minutes
and I'll see if it even,
the thing is I can't even test it,
I can't even see if it
actually cleaned anything,
but I'll come back in eight minutes
and we can see what it looks like.
All right, so it has
now been eight minutes,
I'm taking my phone out.
I guess you can see the UV lights,
the UV lights just shut off, they were on.
Ooh, it's a little toasty in
there, it's a little warm.
Honestly it wouldn't
really look any different,
but it just looks like my phone.
I'm not sure if it did anything at all.
If this seems like
something you would want
to maybe test and if you believe in it,
then I would say go for it.
Personally for me, I'd
rather just wipe my phone
with Clorox wipes.
All right, so overall I feel like
it was about half and half.
I really liked about half the items,
and I really didn't
like about half of them.
I feel like some of them are
just kind of unnecessary,
kind of a waste of money.
There are definitely
ways around them either
whether it's just downloading
an app or just being creative
or just not really needing
the item in general.
But yeah, in theory all of
them are really great ideas
and I think that some of
them really worked out well
so that really shocked me.
But hopefully you guys
enjoyed watching this video,
I love making these kind of
videos, they're super fun.
Make sure you guys
subscribe to my channel,
I think we're almost at two million
which is really crazy but
we'll see ya next week, bye!
