So, people got really freaking excited about the red iPhone. Like, holy crap,
look at all these super successful videos. So, as usual, we ran out and
bought one immediately to see what all the fuss was about. We ripped open the
package, and what the crap is this? It's the exact same phone. Even the front and
the accessories are still white. Why are 3 million people watching these videos
about this same freaking phone?
What are we going to do with this phone? Now, if a video about the new red iPhone
model is worth 3 million views, then if
I can make a video about the world's only blue iPhone, I should be able to
get 10 million views. Now, all I need is
the blue
iPhone. So, there is a right way to change the color of an iPhone. I looked
it up. You have to gather all the tools that you need for the job. Meticulously
take the phone apart. Be very careful when you're painting it. And then, oh my
god, you have to put it back together somehow. Oh my god, I do not have time
for that. Luckily, this is Linus Tech Tips and no one expected me to do it
properly anyways.
So, here's my haul of super proass
modding equipment that I will use to generate that sweet, sweet AdSense
money. Ignoring the cost of the $1,000 for the phone, this was only about 10
bucks. Man, I love my job. Okay, let's
start with Play-Doh. I think that's going to be the best one. This actually
looks pretty freaking good. It's kind of coming along. I would be down with a
case that looked like that. Next up, blue duct
tape. Just do some fine tuning to the tape with an Xacto
knife. Okay, one little strand left. So,
neither of those methods actually really worked that well. So, we're going to go with something a little bit less
conventional. Why not wax? We're going to melt some of these blue candles and
see if we can make that work.
Okay, so maybe no more fire onto the cardboard, but the parts where the wax
actually stayed is not that bad. Okay, so the concept here is that these toilet
bowl cleaners will turn the water in the bowl blue. So maybe they can turn the
phone blue caution toxic
irritant. What the? I'm not doing that.
So, for our next experiment, I thought maybe we'd try some like, you know,
photon transfer stuff. Is that going to work? Does that look blue to you guys?
Except when you do that, it's still red. So, okay. Maybe we need to try one more
thing. For our final experiment, we will be using plasti dip blaze blue. All
right. So, we have left the iPhone to dry. The plasti dip has settled. You can
see on the outsides that it doesn't look quite as good as in the middle where
it's actually like that deep royal blue. Um the coverage is quite solid except
for if you go to the from the edges and you back at square one. So none of that
worked. I've got one option left. I can hold my breath as hard as I possibly can
and hopefully when I turn blue, so does the phone.
Wait a minute. I've been putting way too much work into this. If I want views on
my blue phone video and I want that sweet, sweet sponsorship money, why
didn't I just use Dbrand in the first place? They have free worldwide shipping
if you spend over $20. And you can just go to their shop button and configure
whatever device you want. I'm going to use iPhone right here. Oh, thank you
very much. I'm going to pick iPhone 7. And then just select the blue true color
option. Oh my goodness, it's even less than $10, which is technically cheaper
than what I spent at Dollarama for the supplies for this video. They are all
precision cut and will match up perfectly with your device. Use
dbrand.com/blueballs now to pick up your own. And boom, blue iPhone. Mission
accomplished. We did it, Reddit. 3 million views, tons of sponsorship
money. Okay, but seriously, this video was never intended to be all about
poking fun at the hysteria every time Apple invents a new freaking magic hue.
We were inspired by the red iPhone and our love for the color blue to talk
about your balls. Ticular cancer is the leading cancer among men aed 15 to 44,
but it is also the most treatable cancer if caught early by
self-examination. Yes, friends, we're telling you to touch yourself. And to
help disseminate awareness about this cause, we're holding a charity eBay
auction for this actual phone. This one right here. The only product red special
edition that was at one point in time blueed by Lionus Media Group on the
planet. To be clear, it still works just fine. It's not set up yet, but yeah. And
actually has almost no remnants of our experiments on it. I cleaned it myself.
And it includes a bucket of blue Dbrand
skins in their carbon and true blue colors. So, here you go. This is your
chance to get something random from LT while simultaneously supporting two
amazing causes. Healthy babies, you know, the whole point of the Project Red
thing, and Healthy Balls. We're going to donate 100% of the auction price to
testicular cancer.go. We've got them linked in the video description. And
we'll post an Instagram video of us doing it, all while giving you the
nuttiest shout out we've ever unloaded.
Thanks for watching, guys. If this video sucked, you know what to do. But if it
was awesome, get subscribed, hit the like button, or even check the link of
where to buy stuff in the Amazon video description thing. Also linked in the
description is our merch store where you can buy some shirts and or check out the
community forum where you can this time talk about balls. It is allowed in that
one forum section. Moderators take note. People are allowed to talk about balls
on that thread.
