What's up guys, Eric here from the cathode TV, and today we're taking a look at the iPhone 10s max 512 gigabyte versions. This is the gold color right here. If you look closely at the sides of the song in the front of the box, you can see that there is a bit of a gold trim to the phone that shows through that's one way that you know this is a gold variant also on the side. This here is a gold color. So if I turn it this way, you can see that iPhone is also written in gold and on the back and fine print and also does say gold there as well. Welcome to the side.
I also just notice that the Apple logo is also gold. So that's how you got the gold variant. If you got something like say the black variant, or rather the Space Gray, then you can see that that has a black Apple logo and then here iPhones are in black, and if you look closely on the front, the sides of the phone are also black as well. So that's a quick way to tell just by looking at the box, so here you've got the black 512 gigs, iPhone tennis max, and here is the gold, but the contents of the boxes are gonna, be exactly the same. So let's go ahead and push this one off to the side and let's focus on the gold variant, which is the new color for this year.
So packaging seems pretty typical of what you get with an iPhone there's a little tab here at the bottom, so you can pull that out, pull it up, and now we just have the box we're going to lift to open the box, and the first thing you see is designed by Apple in California, pull that out, and you get your basic Apple paperwork here. So we got Start Guide that you get right here. Welcome to iPhone gives you a little of information of basics of using an iPhone. Here you have a sim ejector tool, pretty standard stuff. You have a bit more information on this piece of paper.
Here you get two Apple stickers, and now we have the gold iPhone below. All of that, so they got a little pull tab right here and flip this over and wow. This is actually a pretty nice-looking gold. So it's like a two-tone looking gold. Let me go ahead and pull this piece off here, just pull that off, pull that up there set that to the side, so you'd, it's definitely a two-tone gold.
So here this is almost like a tarnish color, it's not as gold as I thought it was going to be and then on the sides. This is like a definitely a clearly gold color along the edges there, as I kind of turned this back and forth. You can see that this is clearly a gold color and that gold border is also around the camera lenses as well, which looks pretty nice and the Apple logo itself actually just looks like a silver logo there on the back, pretty standard, Apple logo, I'd, say and then just iPhone written at the bottom. So if you wanted people to know, you got the brand-new iPhone, this is the color to get, because this is the only differentiating factor. Obviously this is the 10s max.
So it doesn't really matter what color you get if you at the tennis max we're going to notice the new one, because it's bigger, but if you got the standard size one then the gold is the only way that people know that you have the latest iPhone that might not matter to some people, but I know it definitely matters to others, diving further down. I think we've got the first disappointing thing here. Let me just check this charger here. I think this is not a 30 watt charger. Let me just read this really quick and find out nope.
So I just read it. This is the 5 watt charger sets. It's super depressing for a phone that costs $1,450 you'd expect that they'd give you the fast charger in the box. So in order to get fast charging you need at least a 29 watt charger. So that's going to set you back $50, and then you'd also need a USB-C 2 lighting adapters to go along with that charger which sets you back another 20 hours, so you're looking at just about $70 to get fast charging on your brand-new iPhone that you just spent almost $1,500 on.
So that's really ridiculous. There's no reason Apple should not be including those in the box. Every other manufacturer who has fast charging in their phones puts that right in the box and offers our phones for way lower of a price, but when I got into that right now, but you guys should know that you still don't get the fast charger in the box all right. So here you're AirPods! These are the Lightning AirPods. So if I go ahead here you can see that you've got your little lightning connector there, and I thought that the Lightning ? 3.5 millimeter headphone jack attached to this block, I thought was on the inside here, but I'm. Not seeing that.
So maybe they've got that further down in here. Let's see alright, so here's your power wait a minute. Do they don't I. Don't think no way hold on a second you've got to be kidding me, so I just read the back of the box, and it does not come with the lightning to 3.5 millimeter headphone jack adapter either? So not only do you have to spend $70 to get fast charging, but now you have to buy their adapter on top of it. If you have regular wired headphones like I do, and you don't already have one of those adapters lying around again just like me.
So if you're a newcomer to iPhones- and you really want the best experience- this 14 or $50.00 iPhone is actually going to set you back a little over $1500, probably at 1530 dollars by the time you get a fast charger and a lightning ?, 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. So this is a pretty frustrating unboxing experience for me. I definitely expected it to be very similar to last year and I mean it is. With this I mean I was hoping that they would have given us a better charger than a 5 watt charger. This is gonna, take forever to charge the big iPhone.
It's got a bigger battery, and it's just going to take an incredibly long time, I'm not going to go ahead and run that battery down to 0 and then charge it with us and find out exactly how long it takes to charge with this super tiny charger, and then I'll post about it on Twitter to let you guys know exactly how slow it is and then maybe I'll have to go and pick up a fast charger, and then we'll see what the speed difference is well right off the bat I'm thinking it's going to be worth the extra 70 bucks just to get that fast. Charging frustrations aside I do have to say that this phone does feel extremely premium. It just feels so nice the way that these edges kind of round out, and you can't really feel the edge of the device and most of the devices. When you go from the back of the phone at the side of the phone, you can very clearly feel a lip here. You can feel a little of a lip on the back and on the front as well, but it's so minimal, which makes for just a really I, don't know recent really premium feeling handset.
So while this phone is outrageously expensive, at least it does, it feels perfect in the hand, but again I'll reserve my comments on the price and whether I think even worth the price for a different video. So that's it for the unboxing experience. I'm going to go ahead and get this phone fired up, get off my applications installed on it and then start getting a bunch of videos out for you guys on this new device drop a line in the comments below. Let me know what you guys want to know about this device. What devices you want me to compare it to I'm already, comparing it to the Galaxy Note: 9 512 gigabyte variant.
