Imagine having over a hundred million followers across all your networks, you’re one of the most popular people on YouTube and they’re scamming you. We are talking about Luisito Comunica. A few months ago, they were already using their voice generated by artificial intelligence (AI) for fraudulent purposes, based on an old interview conducted in Dubai. The popular YouTuber denied the situation, but the damage was already done.
This time he made a determined trip to buy an iPhone 14 Pro and other products such as AirPods Pro 2 which he could pair perfectly with his iPhone and it was an OEM replica i.e. created by the original equipment manufacturer. Other years ago, he made purchases knowing what he was exposing himself to, like in his famous video in which he bought a fake iPhone 11 and realized the many problems that it entailed. This time it was worse: he bought an iPhone 14 Pro without knowing if it was really fake or not.
Luisito Comunica buys “fake technology” with only one principle: equally good quality?
Born in Puebla de Zaragoza (Mexico), Luis Arturo Villar Sudek is one of the most successful YouTubers in the world, going from a simple technology blogger to one of the most important personalities in his territory, with almost 44 million followers on YouTube. alone. . Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that he was able to allow himself the following experiment: go to China itself to buy Apple products.
The objective was to acquire objects and then compare them with products purchased in an Apple Store, with the guarantee that they were official. During his trip he carried out different tests, synchronization, speed, cameras… he was able to verify, for example, that the replica of the newly purchased Airpods was so similar to the original that the Find My application or ‘ Search’ worked perfectly with this product. However, the big disappointment came when testing the iPhone 14 Pro in purple.
So far, the photos weren’t bad but captured less light: the fake model took longer to take the photo, the colors were colder and the sharpness was much lower. When you tap the AirDrop icon, for example, it doesn’t sync and the latency is maddening. However, When it came to recording videos, the result was disastrous, with no remedies.. Even with the highest option, the video looked pixelated and the audio quality was infamously like it was recorded underwater.
He found the funniest thing in the Apple TV+ app. By tapping the icon, the app did not take you to the expected service, but instead redirected you directly to the gallery of videos recorded with the phone in question. And that’s how he discovered that his newly purchased iPhone had bloatwarewith Chinese applications that I didn’t know, even with advertising, something more typical of POCO or Xiaomi’s Redmi. A ruin that, in his own words, “I expected the iPhone to be similar, but obviously, You won’t get a very good phone for $70 or 1,500 Mexican pesos“.
