Frequently Asked Question

  • 25 iPhone X's and 25 Note 8's. Check out MKBHD\u2019s video for all the crispy details.

  • Simple - just follow @dbrand and @MKBHD on Instagram. That's literally it.

    If you were already following both accounts before the giveaway went live, don't worry - you're already eligible to win.

  • Easy. Just follow @dbrand and @MKBHD on Twitter. That's literally it.

    If you were already following both accounts before the giveaway went live, don't worry - you're already eligible to win.

  • You sure can. Follow on both Instagram and Twitter to double up your chances.

  • All 50 winners will be drawn on Christmas - December 25, 2017.

  • Of course. It always is.

  • Randomly, from a cross-section of @dbrand and @MKBHD Instagram followers.

  • We're using a custom Python script which was specifically programmed for this giveaway. It uses the Instagram API Platform to download a list of all @dbrand and @MKBHD Instagram followers.

    Once the full lists have been loaded, the script generates a list of IDs which exist on both lists. This ensures that the potential winner is following both accounts.

    From this pool of unique account IDs, a random entry is picked using a randomly generated seed based on the NumPy project. This random pick is the resulting winner.

    For every subsequent winner selection, the script will run again. This triggers the Instagram API Platform followed-by fetch again. The script will download the newest followers and keep going until it reaches the followers which were downloaded during the previous run. What this does is save us from having to download a full list of followers every time a winner is selected \u2013 while also ensuring that everyone is included and has an equal chance of winning for each random draw.

  • Randomly, from a cross-section of @dbrand and @MKBHD Twitter followers.

  • We're using a custom Python script which was specifically programmed for this giveaway. It uses the Twitter Public Rest API to download a list of all @dbrand and @MKBHD Twitter followers.

  • For iPhone X winners, we'll get in touch via Instagram DM. For Note 8 winners, we'll reach out via Twitter DM.

  • First off, use common sense. If someone DMs you asking for your password and credit card information, it\u2019s obviously a scam. Don't reply to any tweets or DMs saying you've won unless they come from the official @dbrand. Furthermore, never give out your credit card information, Twitter password, or Instagram password to anyone. Especially not someone asking you to \u201ccover the shipping fees.\u201d We'll never ask for this. The best way to avoid getting scammed is to check this page when we announce that a new winner has been published. If you see your name listed under Winners, click the link to ensure it's actually your Twitter or Instagram account. If it really is your account, congratulations! Check your DMs for further instructions.

  • All prizes are shipped via FedEx with tracking. If you win, you\u2019ll receive the tracking number once your prize has been shipped.

  • Of course not. Everything is pre-paid.

  • Yep. Every device we\u2019re shipping is fully unlocked and can be used anywhere.

  • Tweet a photo or post one on Instagram, tagging @MKBHD and @dbrand, to verify that you\u2019ve received your prize.
