Friday Flickr Find: Unboxing an iPad, LEGO style

by Michael Jones (Apr 23rd, 2010)

For many of us Apple geeks, unboxing your new product is *almost* as much fun as actually using it. And while there are several ways to show off the event, having the box opened entirely by LEGO minifigures photography is probably one of the most creative and interesting ones I've seen. Enter ...

Found Footage: self-unboxing iPad

by Brett Terpstra (Apr 5th, 2010)

This is -- for me, personally -- one of the greatest unboxing videos I've ever seen. Not to oversell it, but the sheer simplicity of a self-unboxing iPad is beautiful. The complete lack of commentary (or even a human) makes it short enough that even my attention span, frazzled by years of short ...

TUAW TV Live -- Unboxing the iPad

by Steven Sande (Apr 3rd, 2010)

If you were watching TUAW this morning, you probably saw blogger Steve Sande doing live video from the Aspen Grove Apple Store in Littleton, CO. He's home now, and will be doing live streaming video of the unboxing! ...

TUAW Video: Unboxing the iPad

by Michael Rose (Apr 3rd, 2010)

Video number one appears above, and the other videos appear in the posts linked below. We are deeply appreciative of the opportunity to get our grubby palms on the iPad early enough to get these clips to you now. They may not have the smooth production values of Apple's walkthroughs, but they were ...

Stephen Fry unboxes his iPad

by Dave Caolo (Mar 31st, 2010)

Actor/comedian Stephen Fry has published a brief but oh-so-tantalizing iPad unboxing video. Above you'll see Stephen open the Apple-branded case, the iPad itself (complete with a dramatic and thoroughly warranted wooshing sound), the 10W adapter and keyboard dock. He also grabbed the ...

Magic Mouse unboxing video: Man vs. Tape

by Kent Pribbernow (Nov 1st, 2009)

Let me disclose straight away that I've opened packaging on just about every major Apple product released over the past five years and never exerted such effort in opening a little plastic container -- which by the way resembles something you would find sitting on a shelf at Pottery Barn. But ...

Unboxing an Apple employee t-shirt

by Mike Schramm (Oct 23rd, 2009)

A little while back we posted about the unboxing of an Apple job offer, and now here's another unboxing having to do with becoming an Apple employee -- Mac Rumors has shots up of an unboxing of one of the t-shirt giftboxes recently given to AppleCare call center staff, and once again, even in ...

Unboxing... an Apple job offer

by Mike Schramm (Oct 5th, 2009)

This is exactly the kind of thing we love to see here at TUAW (and thanks for sending it along, Danny) -- Glyph of the Twisted project got a job offer from Apple last week, and over on his blog, he posts a set of unboxing pics. Which might sound silly (an unboxing for a new hire packet?), but ...

Honey, they shrunk the boxes: FCS now in convenient nano size

by Michael Rose (Jul 24th, 2009)

There's more on the inside, where it counts, but the boxes are definitely downsized: over at ilove.nu, Peter Esse has posted his comparative unboxing pictures from Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio 2 to the newly announced and shipping versions (note that Apple is just calling the product "Final ...

iPhone 3G S Launch: Unboxing video, Steve Sande style

by Steven Sande (Jun 20th, 2009)

Ahhhh. The smell of new electronics, released from their cardboard box after a week long journey from Shenzhen, China to Highlands Ranch, Colorado. The texture of a clean, fresh iPhone encased in its plastic wrapper. The fun of finding not one, but two little Apple stickers in your package. Yeah, ...

iPhone 3G S: first impressions on buying, smudges and what's in the box

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jun 19th, 2009)

It's here, it's here! Check out the gallery below for what's in the box. Same as usual: headphones (the earbuds with volume control), sync cable, manuals (one called "Finger Tips" -- cute), the phone and a metal tool for popping the SIM out. The Finger Tips manual is updated to show off the new ...

Mac mini unboxing and dissection

by Mat Lu (Mar 4th, 2009)

The guys at Macminicolo.net have already gotten their hands on a new Mac mini, and they offer not only the obligatory unboxing, but a dis-assembly as well. As before it seems you can take the mini apart with a putty knife. A few parts have been moved around or re-oriented, and there are now three ...

TUAW Unboxes the new MacBook Pro

by Cory Bohon (Oct 17th, 2008)

It would seem that everyone is buzzing about the new MacBook/Pro, so I went and bought one! Seriously, it was just to do the unboxing photos for TUAW (Really! Stop looking at me like that!). In the MacBook video, Apple tells us that they have reduced the size of the boxes that the MacBooks ship in ...

New MacBook unboxing photos

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 15th, 2008)

If, like myself, you can't tear yourself away from your G4 iBook long enough to upgrade to the latest and greatest consumer laptop from Cupertino, our friend Joe Russell saves you the fuss with his MacBook unboxing pics on Flickr. There are notable changes in the packaging: "Opening the box, ...

Found Footage: Unboxing goes a wee bit wrong

by Robert Palmer (Sep 15th, 2008)

Vimeo user UnBoxedLunch brings us this hilariously botched unboxing of an Apple Remote. Thankfully, no hospital visits were necessary as a result. As someone who professionally designs packaging, I'll know I've reached the apex of my career when someone destroys a container I've designed, and ...
