Prototype Apple iPhone 8 (PRB Stage) - Engineering Testing Device - Apple History

Would I be able to load iOS firmware instead of the switchboard OS? Can I load my Xcode compiled apps into switchboard OS and play around with them? Probably missing all those required frameworks?

could you please tell me what software you are using for logging boot information?

what to do with prototype mobile.

iPhone (ex)?

This yt channel is truly unique. Keep it up man!

This is the iPhone 7s 😂

not Iphone ex! this is iphone TEN

they actually build a prototype device for every model? i thought they just crop and edit through the photoshop.

Shank phone ❤😊

good in all except you said “iphone ex” like come on it was so good and you had to call the iphone X by a noob name. it’s pronounced “iphone ten”

See „golden sample“ for more info.

ROW means Rest of the WORLD

Does anyone ever dump the contents of these phones?

You know all those items are stolen right?

In the context of Apple product engineering, the term "PE golden" typically refers to a milestone or version of a product that is considered the final, approved, and ready-for-production version. It is often associated with the point in the product development process where the design, functionality, and performance have been thoroughly reviewed and tested, and any necessary revisions or improvements have been made. This version is considered "golden" because it serves as the reference point for manufacturing and distribution, and any changes beyond this point may require additional validation and testing.

For instance, when developing a new iPhone model, the "PE golden" version would be the one that has passed all quality assurance checks, meets design specifications, and is deemed ready for mass production. This milestone helps ensure consistency and quality in Apple's products.

Great video, but the iPhone X is called by its number (ten), not by its letter (EX).

whats the inside😅

damn, i was really hoping to see what the ness app was about

This videos about iPhone prototypes are so interesting!

This guy is on apples watchlist

On the back sticker the ROW might mean “rest of world” variant, so it’s modem is different to US and china.

Its an Oled Screen ? Black screen seems very black on this prototype

It’s pronounced iPhone 10.

Real iPhone 8?????

Man and i just found out about your old videos under "Fongool My Dongle" lmao

I wanna see the phone from inside

Is there a possibility you could restore it with iTunes to an actual operating system?

bro this guy is so underrated, ur amazing bru

The OG has uploaded after months! Ima big fan btw

Hey, I was wondering if you have the demo screensaver for the PowerBook G4 17”?

The PE Golden might be Peach Goldem, thats my guess

i w a n t a l l o f t h e a p p l e d e m o p r o t o t y p e s

Neat this was one of the significant models

Where can I get an Apple Prototype like this?🤔

Whats stopping you from putting ios on a device like this?

The Unknownz icon is making me die...

I wonder if he'll ever come across an iPhone X prototype.

HOLY SHIT!

Hi. Can you tell the name of the music that is playing in the background? I really liked it.

You have some random videos (ones from other channels, not about apple devices at all) in the apple prototype playlist

PRB Stage is probably Production Ramp (Build), sitting before MP but after PVT. The rest of the markings make it seem likely that this was built during the production ramp phase, testing their ability to bring up more and more production lines (this one appears to be from F4).

Apple demo we love ur prototype content would love to see someday a iPhone X prototype

Hmm. Serial suggests week 26 of 2017, ROW means ”rest of world” variant of the phone. PE would usually mean product engineering, golden meaning golden sample, i.e. a sample that seems most optimal.

pe golden might be a hint at a certain Test being passed successfully as in Golden to go to the next test

Thanks you so much!

Golden could suggest “golden master”, term frequently used to describe something that’s effectively what is going to production. Just a guess though.

These were such a weird and almost unnecessary generation of iPhones but cool to see in beta stage.

It’s pretty cool to see a prototype of a more recent iPhone rather than like a 3GS
