( computer bell blips)( upbeat techno music) – Hey guys, how are you all doing? If you’re brand-new now, 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, who were reportedly ships with a piece of an Apple 1 computerboard inside of such cases. Now that’s an incredibly rare and valuable segment 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 nonsense like this before, and MKBHD has definitelytalked about this stuff before. Recently, he spoke about their action, which has a piece of themoon were integrated into it as well, so Caviar’s been doingthis material for a while. I always “ve been a little” skepticalabout their concoctions. I’m not independent experts on thingslike golden and all of that substance, so I can’t really tellif that’s fake or not, and I’m clearly nota master on the moon. I can’t disprove that’s apiece of the moon in that case.I don’t know how any ofthat stuff makes up to now. You encounter, this concoction, that’s a little bit more in my wheelhouse. Right off the at-bat, this make is bogu. So don’t go expend thenear $10,000 it expenses on it. I intend, if you still wanna get one and claim you have a rarepiece of record with you, sure, but only keep in mind, this is fake, and we will dive into the details soon. But first, I wanted to talk about what kinda tripped my hunches at first. Really, the things that tripped my patrolman( buzzer sounds) detector was the concept itself.First off, why would you destroy such a rare and valuablepiece of computer history just to make an iPhone case? And second, if the human rights committee certainly was real and you cut it up into slice, 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 accessible, and they sell for $ 9,990 each. So if you multiply that together that’s $89,910 gross in marketings, which is nothing comparedto how much you could get at an auctioneer 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 available.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 commodity. So again, financially, this acquires no gumption. And Caviar kinda provedthis already by themselves. In their produce video, they show how much coin Apple 1 computers can go for at auction, so they kind of alreadydid the math for us, and they showed us whythis produce performs no ability from a business and finance standpoint.So those were the two things that initially junketed my BS detector. But there’s more to it. Why accurately 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 yields, which obviously doesn’thelp prove any legality. Also, their produce video indicates intends which are not consistentwith the website photos. So those things were makingme a lot more suspicious, 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 timber on their website has not component solder to it.Throughout all of their studies I’ve done I have never seen an Apple 1 council, a real Apple 1 board, without the components on it. And in fact, I know anowner of a real Apple 1, Jimmy Grewal, and I asked 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 once. So that conducted me to believe that this was just areplica Apple 1 card. 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 not only that, but some of the photoson the Caviar website are precise copies of thephotos from the eBay listing. But they had some disguises and other photo manipulations referred. So it’s fair to say thatCaviar merely bought the board members, this replica board off eBay, and they’re selling theseoverpriced iPhone cases supposing 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 forgery, in my opinion, I think it’s fair to say that 90% of their otherstuff is hoax, too. One more tone, Jimmy istalking to another professional to help confirm thatthis is a replica board, and in the initial conversations 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 cause him get to the final 10%. He was saying he could definitely catch out if he was able to get his hands on a scrap of members of the board, but I highly incredulity 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 are likely won’t( chortles ), we’ll look into it some more. So the odds are slim we’llget anything out of that, but we’ll identify. Overall, in regards tothe scam-busting episodes I do on Crazy Ken’s Tech Talk, I exactly wanna help younurture your officer detector so you can help yourself and your friends from accidentally expend too much money on a make that’s justsurrounded in deceitful commerce. So exactly continue concluding critically, save fact-checking, and you’ll live a beautiful animation. 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, too,’ effect 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 chapters every week.And if you ascertain any other fishy concoctions you wanna send my behavior, feel free to merely communicate 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 incident, you know what to do. Thanks for persisting withme, catch the crazy, and pass it on.( upbeat techno music)( computer buzzer blips ).
