Pretty neat!

So long story short, I had seen people talk about the AppleUnsold website and when I visited it, I was shocked at the prices listed for uncertainty of actually getting it (most of which were out of stock).

Anyways seeing the prices got me thinking, I have this display demo and I’m not sure if it’s worth keeping or if it’s something I should try and get rid off on eBay or something. I kinda like it but at the end of the day it’s really just a demo and I’m not that into Apple to keep it around.

What would you guys do ?

This iPhone runs CarrierOS and has DEBUG modem firmware. It has antenna testing holes and was manufactured 2 weeks before the official release date of the iPhone 7.

Originally, this iPhone was completely trashed. It had a badly swollen battery, which ended up ripping all of the screen cables, and it was literally thrown into a bulk lot of iPhones as a “free gift”. I replaced the battery and screen with genuine replacements and now it works great!

Got this from an iPad lot for $70 total ($10 each device). This runs an internal build of iPadOS 16. An awesome piece of Apple history that I have, and I am currently using this as my main tablet.

Cool little find.

I’m having a issue where my prototype attempts to start the backlight starts then shuts down could it be the charger I’m using

This one has seen it all. No internals unfortunately, just a battered shell.

This iPod was manufactured in 2004, whereas production iPod shuffles were made in 2005. It’s in an unreleased storage configuration (256MB), missing regulatory markings, and has the text “DVT2C” engraved.

Got this Apple Watch Display Unit New sadly Not sealed but brand new for 20€ on EBay it works fine but the battery is a bit bad. Sadly the box does not match cause I think the seller mixed it up accidentally.

Interestingly the debug pins do not have the cover on directly form factory

And can someone please tell me how to get in the menu seen on the last picture?
