( computer bell blips)( upbeat techno music) – Hey guys, how are you all doing? If you’re new here, welcome, my epithet 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 ships with a piece of an Apple 1 computerboard inside of such cases. Now that’s an improbably rare and valuable part of computer biography, 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 material like this before, and MKBHD has definitelytalked about this trash before. Recently, he talked about their event, which has a piece of themoon built into it as well, so Caviar’s been doingthis material for a while.I always “ve been a little” skepticalabout their commodities. I’m not the panel of experts on thingslike gold and all of that trash, so I can’t really tellif that’s fake or not, and I’m definitely nota ruler 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 duties until now. You ensure, this commodity, that’s a little bit more in my wheelhouse. Right off the at-bat, this make is phony. So don’t go expend thenear $10,000 it expenses on it. I represent, if you still wanna get one and suppose you have a rarepiece of autobiography with you, sure, but just keep in mind, this is fake, and we will dive into the details soon.But first, I wanted to talk about what kinda junketed my notions at first. Really, any issues that junketed my cop( buzzer sounds) detector was the notion itself. First off, why would you destroy such a rare and valuablepiece of computer autobiography time to make an iPhone case? And second, if the human rights committee certainly was real and you cut it up into cases, 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 auction for an Apple 1. Now to be fair, “theres been” an Apple 1 Lite model, which sells for 4,990, and Caviar says they have4 9 of those found. So that equals $244,510, which is a lot closer to what one may get at an auction 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 product.So again, financially, this meets no impression. And Caviar kinda provedthis already by themselves. In their commodity video, they show how much money Apple 1 computers can go for at auctioneer, so they kind of alreadydid the math for us, and they showed us whythis make procreates 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 precisely is this a fake? Let’s take a look. The next red flag were the make photos on the Caviar website. They look like CGI furnishes, which obviously doesn’thelp prove any legitimacy. Likewise, their product video testifies motifs which are not consistentwith the website photos.So those things were makingme a lot more questionable, so I was being cautious here. But something that mademe even more suspicious were the photos of the physical committee that they posted on their website. The Apple 1 card on their website has not component solder to it. Throughout all of the research I’ve done I have never seen an Apple 1 committee, a real Apple 1 council, 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 likewise 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 headed me to believe that this was just areplica Apple 1 board.There’s a bunch 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 not only that, but some of the photoson the Caviar website are accurate copies of thephotos from the eBay listing. But the government has some cover-ups and other photo manipulations related. So it’s fair to say thatCaviar really bought this board, this replica board off eBay, and they’re selling theseoverpriced iPhone cases impersonating 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 makes, but if this one is fake, in my opinion, I think it’s fair to say that 90% of their otherstuff is forgery, too. One more observe, Jimmy istalking to another professional 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 unquestionably find out if he was able to get his hands on a scrap of the human rights committee, but I highly suspense 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 look into it some more. So the odds are slim we’llget anything out of that, but we’ll insure. Overall, in regards tothe scam-busting episodes I do on Crazy Ken’s Tech Talk, I really wanna help younurture your patrolman detector so you can help yourself and your friends from accidentally expend too much money on a commodity that’s justsurrounded in deceitful marketing.So simply keep remembering critically, stop fact-checking, and you’ll live a beautiful soul. 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, extremely,’ generate 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 verify any other fishy makes you wanna send my practice, feel free to just cast mea tweet or a DM on Twitter. I’m jolly active on Twitter, so that’s a good way to get a hold of me. And hey, if you liked this episode, you know what to do. Thanks for poking withme, catch the crazy, and pass it on.( upbeat techno music)( computer buzzer blips ).
