( computer bell blips)( upbeat techno music) – Hey chaps, how are you all doing? If you’re brand-new now, welcome, my name is Krazy Ken, and today we’re gonna talk about something that’s been buzzing onthe Interwebs recently, Caviar’s Apple 1 iPhone 12 Pro case, which allegedly carries with a piece of an Apple 1 computerboard inside of the case. Now that’s an unbelievably rare and valuable portion of computer record, so that’s sounds pretty insane, but it looks like Caviar hasdone some insane stuff before, so it’s their MO. Many other YouTubers havecovered stuff like this before, and MKBHD has definitelytalked about this trash before. Recently, he spoke about their contingency, which has a piece of themoon built into it as well, so Caviar’s been doingthis material for a while. I ever was a bit skepticalabout their concoctions. I’m not the panel of experts on thingslike golden and all of that nonsense, so I can’t really tellif that’s fake or not, and I’m definitely nota employer on the moon.I can’t disprove that’s apiece of the moon in all such cases. I don’t know how any ofthat stuff labors til now. You interpret, this make, that’s a little more in my wheelhouse. Right off the at-bat, this concoction is forgery. So don’t go spend thenear $10,000 it costs on it. I entail, if you still wanna get one and suppose you have a rarepiece of record with you, sure, but simply keep in mind, this is fake, and we will dive into the details soon. But firstly, I wanted to talk about what kinda jaunted my skepticisms at first. Really, the things that tripped my officer( buzzer fusses) detector was the concept itself. First off, why would you destroy such a rare and valuablepiece of computer autobiography merely to make an iPhone case? And second, if members of the board indeed was real and you cut it up into patches, you just lost a ton of value there.Apple 1 computers sell for hundreds of thousandsof dollars at auction. Some go up to like 800, $900,000, so why would you break this thing apart and sell phone cases? On the Caviar website, they say there’s only nine available, and they sell for $ 9,990 each. So if you multiply that together that’s $89,910 gross in auctions, which is nothing comparedto how much you could get at an auctioneer for an Apple 1. Now to be fair, there is also an Apple 1 Lite model, which sells for 4,990, and Caviar says they have4 9 of those available. So that equals $244,510, which is a lot closer to what one may get at an auctioneer for a legit Apple 1. But it still doesn’t seem worth the hassle you would have to face as a company trying to sell dozens of make. So again, financially, this offsets no appreciation. And Caviar kinda provedthis already by themselves. In their concoction video, they show how much fund Apple 1 computers can go for at auction, so they kind of alreadydid the math for us, and they showed us whythis commodity manufactures no feel from a business and finance standpoint.So those were the two things that initially tripped my BS detector. But there’s more to it. Why precisely is this a fake? Let’s have a look. The next red flag were the commodity photos on the Caviar website. They look like CGI supplies, which certainly doesn’thelp prove any legitimacy. Likewise, their product video presents blueprints which are not consistentwith the website photos. So those things were makingme a lot more questionable, so I was being prudent here.But something that mademe even more suspicious were the photos of the physical council that they posted on their website. The Apple 1 timber on their website has not component solder to it. Throughout all of studies and research I’ve done I have never seen an Apple 1 timber, a real Apple 1 timber, without the components on it. And in fact, I know anowner of a real Apple 1, Jimmy Grewal, and I asked him about this. He actually also broughtup this concern on Twitter, and we talked a bit, and he said the same thing. He was like, “I have never seen a board without the components on it already.So that conducted me to believe that this was just areplica Apple 1 council. There’s a cluster of’ em out there. Jimmy sent me an eBay listingof an Apple 1 replica board, and to me, the boardlooked just like the one Caviar had on their website. And is not merely that, but some of the photoson the Caviar website are exact copies of thephotos from the eBay listing. But the government has some concealments and other photo manipulations related. So it’s fair to say thatCaviar really bought the board members, this replica board off eBay, and they’re selling theseoverpriced iPhone cases professing it’s a real Apple 1 board, even though it’s not. Now, I can’t confirm the legitimacy or the absence of legitimacyfor Caviar’s other produces, but if this one is fake, in my opinion, I think it’s fair to say that 90% of their otherstuff is impostor, too.One more note, Jimmy istalking to another expert to help confirm thatthis is a replica board, and in the initial the talks with him, the expert did say he’s 100% sure this is a replica board, but he’s only about 90% sure this board is the sameboard as the eBay listing. I’m pretty sure it is, but we’ll let him are going to the final 10%. He was saying he could surely find out if he was able to get his hands on a fragment of the board, but I most disbelief Caviaris going to release that. So between the three of us, if we can get in touch with Caviar and they can send a piece out, which they probably won’t( chuckles ), we’ll conducted an investigation into it some more. So the odds are slim we’llget anything out of that, but we’ll meet. Overall, in regards tothe scam-busting episodes I do on Crazy Ken’s Tech Talk, I only wanna help younurture your cop detector so you can help yourself and your best friend from inadvertently spend too much money on a commodity that’s justsurrounded in hypocritical marketing.So just preserve guessing critically, impede fact-checking, and you’ll live a beautiful lifetime. And if you haven’t checkedout MKBHD’s other videos in regards to Caviar, do check those out, and hey, hopefully he can see this one that I just made, very,’ motive hey, that’d be pretty awesome. And if you’d like to check out the other scam-busting bouts I did, feel free to check’ em out here, and feel free to subscribe for more tech bouts every week. And if you see any other fishy produces you wanna send my road, feel free to precisely refer mea tweet or a DM on Twitter.I’m quite active on Twitter, so that’s a good way to get a hold of me. And hey, if you liked this bout, you know what to do. Thanks for lodging withme, catch the crazy, and pass it on.( upbeat techno music)( computer buzzer blips ).
