( computer bell blips)( upbeat techno music) – Hey guys, how are you all doing? If you’re brand-new here, welcome, my reputation 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 improbably rare and valuable piece of computer autobiography, 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 substance like this before, and MKBHD has definitelytalked about this stuff before.Recently, he spoke about their example, which has a piece of themoon built into it as well, so Caviar’s been doingthis substance for a while. I ever “ve been a little” skepticalabout their products. I’m not an expert on thingslike gold and all of that stuff, so I can’t really tellif that’s fake or not, and I’m unquestionably nota original on the moon. I can’t disprove that’s apiece of the moon in that case. I don’t know how any ofthat stuff uses until now. You ensure, this produce, that’s a little bit more in my wheelhouse.Right off the at-bat, this make is forgery. So don’t go spending thenear $10,000 it costs on it. I signify, if you still wanna get one and pretend you have a rarepiece of history 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 tripped my doubts at first. Really, the things that junketed my man( buzzer hums) detector was the concept itself. First off, why would you destroy such a rare and valuablepiece of computer biography just to make an iPhone case? And second, if the human rights committee genuinely was real and you cut it up into parts, you just lost a ton of value there. Apple 1 computers sell for hundreds of thousandsof dollars at auctioneer. 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 accessible, and they sell for $ 9,990 each. So if you multiply that together that’s $89,910 gross in sales, which is nothing comparedto how much you could get at an auctioneer for the purposes of 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 produce. So again, financially, this realise no sense.And Caviar kinda provedthis already by themselves. In their commodity video, they show how much money Apple 1 computers can go for at auction, so they kind of alreadydid the math for us, and they showed us whythis produce sees no appreciation from a business and finance standpoint. So the issue is the two things that initially junketed my BS detector. But there’s more to it. Why accurately 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 yields, which certainly doesn’thelp prove any legitimacy.Also, their commodity video depicts designings which are not consistentwith the website photos. So those things were makingme much more suspicious, so I was being cautious now. But something that mademe even more suspicious were the photos of the physical committee 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 “ve never had” an Apple 1 board, a real Apple 1 card, without the components on it. And in fact, I know anowner of a real Apple 1, Jimmy Grewal, and I asked about about this. He actually too 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 once. So that led me to believe that this was just areplica Apple 1 committee. There’s a assortment of’ em out there.Jimmy ship 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 simply that, but some of the photoson the Caviar website are exact copies of thephotos from the eBay listing. But the government has some disguises and other photo manipulations requested. So it’s fair to say thatCaviar merely bought this board, this replica board off eBay, and they’re selling theseoverpriced iPhone cases feigning it’s a real Apple 1 council, even though it’s not. Now, I can’t confirm the legality or the lack of legitimacyfor Caviar’s other commodities, but if this one is forgery, in my view, I think it’s fair to say that 90% of their otherstuff is hoax, too. One more notation, 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 sure this is right it is, but we’ll give him are going to the final 10%. He was saying he could certainly find out if he was capable of get his hands on a fragment of the human rights committee, but I highly doubt 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( roars ), we’ll look into it some more. So the odds are slim we’llget anything out of that, but we’ll construe. Overall, in regards tothe scam-busting episodes I do on Crazy Ken’s Tech Talk, I really wanna help younurture your pig detector so you can help yourself and your best friend from inadvertently spending too much money on a make that’s justsurrounded in fraudulent marketing. So precisely continue studying critically, remain fact-checking, and you’ll live a beautiful living. 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, more,’ reason hey, that’d be pretty awesome.And if you’d like to check out the other scam-busting episodes I did, feel free to check’ em out here, and feel free to subscribe for more tech occurrences every week. And if you accompany any other fishy commodities you wanna send my room, feel free to only mail mea tweet or a DM on Twitter. I’m reasonably active on Twitter, so that’s a good way to get a hold of me. And hey, if you liked this incident, you know what to do. Thanks for remaining withme, catch the crazy, and pass it on .( upbeat techno music)( computer buzzer blips ).
