( computer buzzer blips)( upbeat techno music) – Hey guys, how are you all doing? If you’re new here, welcome, my appoint 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 had reportedly sends with a piece of an Apple 1 computerboard inside of the case. Now that’s an fantastically rare and valuable patch 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 trash like this before, and MKBHD has definitelytalked about this stuff before. Recently, he talked about their suit, which has a piece of themoon built into it as well, so Caviar’s been doingthis trash for a while. I ever was a bit skepticalabout their commodities. I’m not an expert on thingslike gold and all of that material, so I can’t really tellif that’s fake or not, and I’m emphatically nota lord on the moon.I can’t disprove that’s apiece of the moon in that case. I don’t know how any ofthat stuff productions until now. You envision, this product, that’s a little bit more in my wheelhouse. Right off the at-bat, this concoction is sham. So don’t go spending thenear $10,000 it expenses on it. I convey, if you still wanna get one and suppose you have a rarepiece of biography 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 suspicions at first. Really, the things that jaunted my policeman( buzzer sounds) detector was the notion itself. First off, why would you destroy such a rare and valuablepiece of computer history time to make an iPhone case? And second, if the human rights committee genuinely was real and you cut it up into sections, 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 sales, which is nothing comparedto how much you could get at an auction 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 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 produce. So again, financially, this constructs no sense. And Caviar kinda provedthis already by themselves. In their concoction 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 make moves no appreciation 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 exactly is this a fake? Let’s take a look. The next red flag were the product photos on the Caviar website. They look like CGI furnishes, which definitely doesn’thelp prove any legitimacy.Also, their concoction video demonstrates designings which are not consistentwith the website photos. So those things were makingme much more questionable, so I was being cautious now. But something that mademe even more suspicious were the photos of the physical timber 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 committee, 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 likewise broughtup such concerns 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 previously. So that guided me to believe that this was just areplica Apple 1 timber. 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 concealments and other photo manipulations exerted. So it’s fair to say thatCaviar exactly bought this board, this replica board off eBay, and they’re selling theseoverpriced iPhone cases impersonating it’s a real Apple 1 timber, even though it’s not. Now, I can’t confirm the legitimacy or the lack of legitimacyfor Caviar’s other products, 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 note, 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 sure this is right it is, but we’ll cause him are going to the final 10%. He was saying he could obviously catch out if he was capable of get his hands on a scrap of the board, but I most 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( roars ), we’ll conducted an investigation into it some more. So the odds are slim we’llget anything out of that, but we’ll examine. Overall, in regards tothe scam-busting episodes I do on Crazy Ken’s Tech Talk, I only wanna help younurture your pig detector so you can help yourself and your best friend from accidentally expend too much money on a make that’s justsurrounded in hypocritical marketing.So time continue pondering critically, maintain fact-checking, and you’ll live a beautiful life. 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,’ cause 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 visualize any other fishy concoctions you wanna send my highway, feel free to exactly move 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 escapade, you know what to do. Thanks for sticking withme, catch the crazy, and pass it on.( upbeat techno music)( computer bell blips ).
