quality speaker and microphone. Now,

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:21.479
okay. As a bit of a skeptic, I originally looked at this and

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:27.439
I went, why? Really, why? That's what I said.

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:32.280
But I thought about it for a little while longer and I figured it out. So,

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:36.799
at a reasonable enough price point, all of a sudden, this isn't the

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:41.040
kind of thing I would buy for myself. Don't get me wrong, I would not buy this

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:45.759
for myself, but I might buy one as a stocking stuffer.

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:51.119
Let's say you've got a a little niece. Let's say she's, you know, 12 or 13, 14,

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:54.920
15, 16, until, I don't know, the end of time, whenever girls stop yaking on the

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.200
phone. Um, and she talks on the phone a lot.

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:03.280
Well, it used to be that as soon as you hit around 11 or 12 as a girl, you got a

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:08.080
you got a phone in your room and you tied up the line endlessly and everyone

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:12.239
got annoyed. Well, now 12-year-olds are getting cell phones. I mean, this I

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.560
don't know if you've ever like sat and talked on an iPhone for an hour. I have.

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:23.000
Your ear like hurts after. It's not comfortable. So, that's what this is

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:27.920
for. This is the replacement for adding the phone in the

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:32.560
room. This isn't the kind of thing you carry around with you. That would be

00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:34.319
ridiculous. But what you do is you use

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.360
it like like I actually had a phone that had a receiver like this when I when I

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:43.599
was young. And I'm probably the last generation that will actually remember phones that looked like this. But but

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:48.000
this this is what it's all about. So you plug that in there. Your phone sits on

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.920
the bed next to you and you like, you know, you sit and gab and you know touch

00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:55.200
your ankles together with your girlfriends. You you can actually hold

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.800
it like this. Remember when you could hold a phone with your shoulder and you

00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:02.159
could you could do something else like unbox the black version while you're

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.000
actually talking on the phone to somebody and Yeah. Remember what she

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:09.599
said? I remember what she said. Do you remember what he said when she said

00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.200
that? Yeah, I remember that. So, you can actually have your senseless,

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:17.519
meaningless conversation while you're doing something meaningful like unboxing

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:23.360
another color of exactly the same product in the same episode of Linus

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:23.360
Tech Tips for the sake

00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:29.200
of completeness. In fact, you can even

00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:33.519
talk on two phones. No, you can't talk on two phones at once, but that's what

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:39.280
it's for. Okay, here's the button for the hangup. and uh and pick up. Okay.

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:43.200
It's got kind of a Native Union logo on there. It's got like a like well they

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:48.720
were quite what do they describe it as? Um luxurious soft touch paint finish. So

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.959
I would describe that as as a matte fingerprint resistant finish. It's also

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.760
going to be quite scratch resistant. So I mean think about how something like

00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:59.280
this is going to get treated. You know you're talking on the phone on it.

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:02.480
You're you're done. You unplug it. You know you check it over on the nightstand

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:07.200
or whatever the case may be. That's how something like this is going to get treated by the intended audience. Let's

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.519
have a look at what the actual range of it is. So, if I could actually just get

00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.200
my cameraman to take one of his hands and hold that. I'm just going to kind of

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:19.120
wander over here and I'm going to show you guys. Oh, it's actually very

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.759
flexible. So, yeah. Actually, you know what? I'm going to tell you guys a funny

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:27.040
little anecdote. It's not really to do with this. I'm pretty much done my unboxing now. This is the Native Union

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.919
Moshi Moshi. Comes with a couple stickers. Comes with a little

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:33.440
instruction manual, which I certainly hope you won't need. But here here's

00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.400
kind of a funny anecdote along the lines of remember when phones looked like

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:43.040
this. So my little brother had a friend come over to my parents house. Uh this

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:47.280
must have been about six months ago. And uh he asked to use the phone and my

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.560
parents are kind of leites. They don't they don't have technology. I mean I

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:56.320
have to I have to spell everything out for them. They wouldn't even have a wireless network if I didn't set it up

00:04:54.400 --> 00:05:01.040
and maintain it for them and key in all the passwords. Like they're just they're

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:02.560
hopeless. Anyway, so his friend comes

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:07.360
from a family that, you know, believes in technology. Like, they don't even have call waiting. Like, they don't have

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:11.919
caller ID. They have nothing. They have a phone line. And I'm just

00:05:09.080 --> 00:05:15.440
like, it took my mom until about 3 months ago to get a cell phone. Nobody

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:18.720
in my house had a cell phone. It's like and and like they they'd leave the phone

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:23.120
off the hook. Oh, yeah. I'll go get that person for you. They'd forget and walk away. And the phone would be busy for

00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:26.880
like 2 days at a time. And I'm just like, I've been trying to call you for 2

00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:31.919
days. How am I supposed to reach you anyway? All right. totally unrelated,

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:36.000
tangential. So his friend comes over and asks to use the phone and my mom says to

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:41.919
him, "Yeah, sure. It's over there." And he goes over and uh he so he so he picks

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.800
up the phone. This is not not like this kind of phone, but it's an actual phone

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.039
like with a receiver. He picks it up and he he calls his parents. He asks if he can stay the night and he puts it back

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:54.639
and he goes and he turns to my mom and he says,

00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:56.639
"Wow, that's so smart. your phone is

00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.320
actually attached to the base station so you don't lose

00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:04.880
it. And my mom just looks at him and goes, "Yeah, that's a feature." All

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:08.639
right. Anyway, thank you for watching this episode of Linus Tech. True story,
