WEBVTT

00:00:00.179 --> 00:00:05.940
Stakes have never been higher I don't know I think the flavors are a little

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.360
off here it leaves a bit of a bitter taste I have to say on this week's

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:13.380
episode we find the new writer Steven vying for more time in the spotlight but

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:17.640
it won't come easy my name's Steven I've been here for

00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:22.199
about six months now been writing some videos appeared in a couple but I really

00:00:20.279 --> 00:00:27.240
want to take things to the next level I keep asking host hey when is it gonna be

00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:32.579
my time when's it gonna be my turn you know I know I can do this and he just

00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:37.800
keeps kind of saying next time next time so I'm really hoping I can prove myself

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:39.899
here and you know show that I'm just as

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:45.960
capable of this as he is so you want to host your own videos then yes chef I'm

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:47.460
not a chef I'm a host yes host but

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.600
you've never hosted any video on your own before no host well I don't know how

00:00:50.219 --> 00:00:57.539
I can trust you you're gonna have to prove yourself to me if you want to do this and so to do that I'm going to set

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:02.219
you with one challenge find accessories for the Apple products that I use that I

00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:05.700
like see I thought they would give me something hard I mean find Apple

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.500
accessories I'll just go to the Apple Store and they can't be made by Apple in fact they

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:15.240
need to be better than what Apple makes there it is there's the curveball more

00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:18.780
features cheaper whatever it is you need to bring me products that are so good I

00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:21.799
would choose them over Apple's version so you think you're up to that

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:25.759
thank you we'll go

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:33.420
the reason I chose this task for Steven is because even I will admit Apple's

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.340
accessories are kind of Hit and Miss remember the iPhone 6 charging case ever

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:43.500
had a apple made charging cable that doesn't Fray I mean either and so what I

00:01:40.619 --> 00:01:47.340
want to find out is if among all the piles and piles of Third Rate

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:52.079
third-party accessories out there he can find the Diamonds in the Rough this is

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:56.579
not going well there are third-party accessories on Apple's website and I

00:01:54.060 --> 00:02:00.659
trust the quality of those but most of what I have to get I have to go

00:01:58.020 --> 00:02:05.460
elsewhere for and that's where it starts to get questionable I mean it's just

00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:09.360
endless lists of products that all look the same and are from a hundred

00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:14.459
different companies that I've never heard of and I don't know what to choose

00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:18.540
okay so what I'm going to do is try to stick with Brands I know now obviously

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.379
this only works if you're familiar with the brands you're shopping for but

00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:26.520
that's where top purchase lists you know what best to buy those kind of things

00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:32.099
come in handy now this may end up meaning that I get some

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:37.800
less than were reliable Brands it's probably going to hurt me in scoring but

00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:42.540
we'll see what host thinks one minute remaining one minute remaining

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.739
five four three

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.819
two one drop your knives

00:02:55.739 --> 00:03:00.540
like Apple watch but feel like it isn't nice enough to match your high-end

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:04.200
lifestyle you should take a look at band work when you hear premium or luxury you

00:03:02.700 --> 00:03:08.040
might think they're just buzzwords but with band work you get the real deal

00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:11.519
their watch bands are assembled in Germany with leather sourced from the US

00:03:09.660 --> 00:03:15.540
and Italy and whether you get a watch band phone case magsafe wallet or

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:19.319
anything else on their site you can rest assured that they will always put

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:25.040
quality first and never cut Corners so treat yourself and upgrade your style by

00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:25.040
checking out bandwork at the link below

00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:33.420
all right host bring out your first dish yes host uh so what do you have here to

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:37.500
start I want to go with something simple a strong alternative to an Apple product

00:03:35.220 --> 00:03:41.340
that everyone depends on but rarely actually uses the air tag is a great

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.019
product but perhaps not the best choice for all cases so I present to you the

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:49.980
chipolo spot now see this one I'm confident in I think this is a really

00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:54.360
strong start air tags are just really thick they take up so much space I think

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:57.540
the chipolo spot is going to be great for somebody that wants to put a track

00:03:55.860 --> 00:04:00.739
in their wallet I'm confident that host will think it's the right choice

00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:08.640
so this uses the find my network it does host okay that's pretty good this is

00:04:06.180 --> 00:04:15.780
definitely something that the air tag is missing well that does fit in the wallet

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:19.500
quite well how much is it 35 host and

00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:22.440
how much is an air tag 30 post so it's

00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:28.380
more money it is oh you know the air tank has a replaceable battery how does

00:04:24.540 --> 00:04:30.300
this work it can be replaced every two

00:04:28.380 --> 00:04:35.520
years by throwing it out and getting a new one host

00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:37.500
you get 50 off for anyone it leaves a

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:41.940
bit of a bitter taste I have to say now one great thing about the air tag that I

00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:46.740
use all the time is the U1 chip does this have that it does not host I don't

00:04:45.419 --> 00:04:51.120
know I think the flavors are a little off here let's see what you have in your

00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:56.820
next dish all right so that one didn't quite go as planned but you know just

00:04:54.419 --> 00:05:00.960
can't like get to me God keep going on keep moving forward the next couple

00:04:58.380 --> 00:05:06.180
products I have they're also from known reputable Brands so hopefully that gets

00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:10.860
me some points all right hosts bring out your second dish with Steven's first

00:05:08.580 --> 00:05:16.860
dish not to host tastes a lot is writing on what comes next so uh what is this

00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:22.380
uh this is an alternative to the popular Apple wallet accessory I want to present

00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:26.820
something that had more functionality at a fraction of the price Apple wallet I

00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:32.520
mean like I already have a wallet I'm happy with so that's interesting that

00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:36.139
you decided to select the wallet oh wow this is quite different from Apple's

00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:40.919
wallet the card slots are on the inside they are host and do you have a

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:45.600
kickstand on the back the cake stands nice that's pretty handy but how does

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:49.080
that work with the cards here here how does this oh it sticks on the opposite

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:55.620
way wait is it supposed to stick on to the back of the device like this uh fold

00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:57.780
it the other way there you are and then

00:05:55.620 --> 00:06:03.060
oh I had it backwards it was presented to me backwards

00:05:59.820 --> 00:06:06.300
I can't believe I did that I was in such

00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:08.460
a rush to try to Plate everything I was

00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:13.080
wondering what he was doing and then suddenly it hits me I messed up now does

00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:18.479
it have the find my functionality that you can find in Apple's offering may I

00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:21.539
recommend the chipolo spot for that host

00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:23.360
so I have to fill a card slot and pay

00:06:21.539 --> 00:06:28.919
money on top of this to to get that functionality yes the

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:36.000
host it's a better option for people that don't want them so and how much is

00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:39.180
this uh it's 25 25 plus the 35 for the

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.819
chipolo uh and how much is Apples sixty

00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:47.400
dollars host because it's the same price yes almost well I brought something else

00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:53.400
that I thought might address your concern uh this is the Spigen wallet

00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:55.380
case this way there is no need for the

00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:59.639
find my app or functionality because it's simply built into the case okay I

00:06:58.259 --> 00:07:04.199
mean there are many cases out there so you just slide the Cards into here yes

00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:07.560
and how much does this case cost twenty dollars

00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:13.740
not too bad it's not a particularly pretty case but I guess it does the job

00:07:10.380 --> 00:07:18.660
does the magsafe work how do I attach

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:20.819
need to take the case off host oh cases

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:25.139
are a big risk uh when you're presenting accessories because there's just so much

00:07:22.380 --> 00:07:29.280
and you don't want to recommend you know one case when it's really an expression

00:07:27.479 --> 00:07:33.240
of Personality would you say this is an expression of your personality it is an

00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:40.919
expression of the personality of someone that values having their cards on them

00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:44.340
all the time and is that you no host I

00:07:40.919 --> 00:07:46.919
was hoping it would be you okay very uh

00:07:44.340 --> 00:07:51.900
unexpected flavors going on in this in this dish I have to say okay I guess

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:55.199
that's that's a win kind of you know I'll take what I can get

00:07:53.460 --> 00:07:58.380
Steven's second dish fares better but comes up short of truly impressing host

00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:03.060
Horst with the main course up next expectations are high for something that

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:09.539
can truly wow alright host bring the entree oh what do we have here this very

00:08:06.599 --> 00:08:15.060
delicate smattering is a feast of power for you wow I love Chargers so let's

00:08:13.380 --> 00:08:20.759
start with this one this looks to be like a eugreen 100 watt charger with a

00:08:18.479 --> 00:08:24.479
vast array of ports why did you select this one uh simply put it does

00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:30.180
everything I could imagine you would need it to it will charge any MacBook at

00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:33.479
the highest possible speed it will still have plenty enough power to then charge

00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:36.899
your iPhone and any other accessories you have and at a current price of 48

00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:42.120
dollars it's cheaper than Apple's dual Port charger of significantly less power

00:08:38.940 --> 00:08:43.740
I love how there's lots of USBC which is

00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:47.580
what Apple's been using for a long time now plus at least one usba for any old

00:08:46.380 --> 00:08:53.519
cables you have in your bag this is pretty good what is this then this is an

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:59.220
ESR make safe power bank not technically make safe but equivalent to that 10 000

00:08:56.940 --> 00:09:04.620
milliamp per hour so much greater capacity than Apple's own power bank how

00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:08.760
much does this go for uh that is thirty dollars post okay none of the most

00:09:06.300 --> 00:09:12.899
attractive design I have to say it's very black and Stark which has been a

00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:17.100
bit of a trend with many of the accessories you brought forward today

00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:21.540
yes host uh Apple accessories tend to come with a higher price tag so this

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:29.339
seems to be a trade-off of some savings interesting decision now this is very

00:09:24.779 --> 00:09:32.040
peculiar what is this this is a generic

00:09:29.339 --> 00:09:38.220
power bank same as the last one make safe but not actually it also has a

00:09:34.920 --> 00:09:40.860
kickstand built in it has more ports for

00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:45.540
USB out it has a display for battery life and is a similar ten thousand

00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:49.680
milliamp power capacity um is this of any sort of reputable brand that I

00:09:47.459 --> 00:09:54.959
should know of absolutely not host uh what is the brand company called Jaco

00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:57.180
pal how much is this uh also thirty

00:09:54.959 --> 00:10:01.320
dollars host the displays on a slant would you vouch for the quality of this

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:08.040
frankly for seventy dollars less than Apple's offering I would happily take

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:10.620
the display over the fancy integrated

00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:14.940
battery life indicator I'm really torn about this hmm if you are looking for

00:10:13.380 --> 00:10:19.680
something more premium I do have something that I've left cooking for you

00:10:16.380 --> 00:10:23.640
this is interesting took a bit more time

00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:27.240
uh but I am happy to finally present to

00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:29.220
you this looks very good this host is

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:34.019
the make safe three in one travel charger this is the Apple Store

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:38.760
exclusive version which comes with an Apple Watch charger a big safe charger

00:10:36.540 --> 00:10:44.339
and a standard wireless charging pad it also comes with a 30 watt USBC charger

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:46.740
and a USBC to C cable this is an

00:10:44.339 --> 00:10:51.260
extremely complete package how much does this cost uh this is a hundred and fifty

00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:56.160
dollars host wow uh would that's a lot of money why

00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:00.959
what makes it worth that much well compared to the magsafe duo which is

00:10:58.079 --> 00:11:04.440
only twenty dollars less this adds an additional wireless charging pad as well

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:09.300
as comes with a 30 watt charging brick USB C2C cable and the travel pouch of

00:11:07.380 --> 00:11:14.160
course the significance of the C2C cable is that this charging pad uses USBC

00:11:12.060 --> 00:11:18.240
input as opposed to the makesafe duo which uses lightning for the convenience

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:21.779
of using USBC instead of lightning and having a third charging pad I believe

00:11:19.800 --> 00:11:25.880
it's worth the extra 20 and does the magsafe duo come with a charger it does

00:11:23.940 --> 00:11:34.740
not this is quite brilliant I have to say uh

00:11:31.260 --> 00:11:36.240
very pricey but very complete with only

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:41.720
one disc remaining and hoping to finish strong our aspiring host is finally

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:41.720
ready to play the ace up his sleeve

00:11:45.660 --> 00:11:51.839
finally the dessert for dessert I found

00:11:49.140 --> 00:11:55.940
you something so incredible that I wanted to keep it for myself it's

00:11:53.399 --> 00:12:02.579
another charger it is indeed from a meow yes some people would say Mayo some

00:11:59.640 --> 00:12:06.600
people would say meow I would say it's the only Power device that you'd need in

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:12.120
your life well that's a bold claim what what's uh

00:12:10.140 --> 00:12:16.079
what makes it Worthy is such such excitement from you why did you make

00:12:14.040 --> 00:12:23.040
this well as you can see hosted does have a variety of outputs on the side

00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:25.500
below that though you'll notice a button

00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:31.019
that button activates the wireless charging pad on it it has make safe but

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:35.880
not actually make safe wireless charging really on top of that you don't need to

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:41.040
plug it in at all it's also a 10 000 milliamp hour power bank I was so torn

00:12:38.760 --> 00:12:48.480
by this what is the max wattage we got here the max output is 20 watts okay so

00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:51.420
from the USBC 20 watts yes okay not not

00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:58.320
quite laptop level it's a jack of all trades but master of none so how much is

00:12:54.660 --> 00:13:00.540
this 45 dollars 40 okay that's not too

00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:07.459
bad I have to say you've brought a most varied and interesting meal today

00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:07.459
I think I'm ready to make my judgment

00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.860
Stephen yes host you were tasked with

00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:21.120
bringing me Apple accessories not made by Apple and you've certainly brought a

00:13:19.260 --> 00:13:25.440
potluck of accessories I have to say with very interesting up and down

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:29.579
flavors you've done a good job explaining what these accessories are

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:33.600
and whose life they will fit within the thing is they just don't necessarily fit

00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:39.540
within my life but they do have Merit nonetheless even with some questionable

00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:43.200
Amazon products mixed in there and so while I'm proud of what you've done

00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:46.079
there is pangs of disappointment and so I think we're gonna need to take a

00:13:44.579 --> 00:13:49.980
little bit of time to let this simmer and give you an opportunity to appear in

00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:54.420
other videos before we let you go out on your own understood host and I hope that

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:59.339
next time I can make you proud this wasn't the outcome I came here for but

00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:03.959
at least I'm still here now I have an opportunity to keep working on things

00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:05.940
keep honing my craft and hopefully the

00:14:03.959 --> 00:14:09.200
next time I come back I'll be able to present host with a meal that he'll

00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:15.660
never forget thank you and thank you for cooking up

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:20.160
this Mac Address if you like this reality show format give this video a

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:23.940
like and maybe subscribe I'm curious in the comments below if you know of any

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:28.440
accessories not made by Apple that Steven may have missed and that would

00:14:25.380 --> 00:14:30.720
have helped him win the victory

00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.920
