A YouTuber purchased a brand new iPhone X for $900 and attempted to sell it using the eco-ATM machine at a Walmart store in Compton. The machine, which promises instant cash for phones, was tested first with a fake iPhone X, which it incorrectly identified as a Galaxy S7. When the real iPhone X was inserted, the machine failed to recognize it as an iPhone, instead suggesting it was an Alcatel One Touch, and offered no cash, only the option to recycle it. The YouTuber decided to recycle the phone and completed the process, which included providing ID and taking a photo. Despite not receiving any cash, the YouTuber praised the process, but expressed disappointment that the machine didn't recognize the iPhone X.
