  1. I don’t like this new voice… Kinda wants me to say a non-PC thing, butt fuck it. Although that’s not really the problem, the problem is that is hard to focus on what he is telling. Kinda boring way to talk.

  2. You guys totally forgot some equally genius uses for old devices. Like a calculator (that your new device also has), a portable console (for all the games you could also play on your new device), or a paper weight. All equally ‘genius’ ideas.

  3. Alarm clock? sound like your current phone can do that, seriously which cellphone you put near your pillow? your current one or an old phone can only do little things?

    Genius? I think not, and most important of all, internet posts has these exact content exist for years, you are just copying, this video is embarrassingly weak

  4. Am I the only one who keeps an old cell phone simply as a “backup” because I don’t think smartphones are very reliable/long-lived/tough?
