(computer system bell blips) (positive techno music) – Hey people, just how are you all doing? If you'' re new right here, welcome,
my name is Krazy Ken, and today we'' re gon na speak concerning something that'' s been humming on the Interwebs recently, Relish'' s Apple 1 apple iphone 12 Pro case, which apparently ships with a piece of an Apple 1 computer system board within the case. Currently that'' s an extremely unusual and useful piece of computer system history, to make sure that ' s appears quite outrageous, however it looks like Relish has done some ridiculous stuff prior to, so it'' s their MO. Numerous other YouTubers have covered stuff similar to this before, and MKBHD has most definitely discussed this things before.Recently, he spoke about their situation, which has a piece of the moon constructed into it also, so Caviar ' s been doing this things for a while.
I constantly was a little bit cynical about their products.
I ' m not a professional on points like gold and all of that things, so I can ' t truly tell if that ' s phony or otherwise, and I ' m definitely not a master on the moon.
I can ' t disprove that ' s a. item of the moon in
that case.I wear ' t understand how any one of.
that things functions till now.
You see, this item, that ' s a little bit extra in my wheelhouse. Instantly, this item is phony. So don ' t go spending the. near$ 10,000 it sets you back on it.
I indicate, if you still wan na get one and act you have an uncommon. item of history with you, sure, yet simply remember, this is phony, and we will certainly dive right into the information soon. Yet first, I desired to speak about what kinda tripped my suspicions at very first. Really, the important things that tripped my bull( buzzer buzzes ). detector was the idea itself. First of all, why would certainly you destroy such an uncommon and valuable. item of computer system history simply to make an iPhone situation?
And second, if the board truly was real and you sufficed up right into items, you just shed a lots of value there.Apple 1 computer systems offer for thousands of thousands. of bucks at public auction
. Some go up to such as 800,$ 900,000, so why would certainly you break this thing apart and sell phone instances? On the Caviar internet site, they claim there ' s just nine offered, and they offer for$ 9,990 each. So if you increase that with each other'that ' s$ 89,910 gross in sales, which is absolutely nothing compared. to how much you could access an auction for an Apple 1. Now to be fair, there is also an Apple 1 Lite model, which markets for 4,990, and Relish states they have. 49 of those available. To make sure that equates to$ 244,510, which is a lot closer to what one may obtain at a public auction for a legit Apple 1. However it still doesn ' t seem worth the hassle you would need to face as a company trying to sell loads of product. So again, monetarily,. this makes no sense. And Caviar kinda verified. this currently by themselves. In their product video clip,.
they demonstrate how much money Apple 1 computers can go with at public auction, so they type of already. did the mathematics for us, and they revealed us why. this item makes no sense from an organization and money standpoint.So those were both things that at first tripped my BS detector. But there ' s extra to it. Why specifically is this a counterfeit? Allow
' s have a look. The next warning were the product photos on the Delicacy web site. They look like CGI renderings, which'certainly doesn ' t. assistance verify any kind of legitimacy. Also, their product video clip shows layouts which are not regular. with the internet site photos.
So those things were making. me a lot extra suspicious, so I was being mindful below. However something that made. me even much more dubious were the images of the physical board that they uploaded on their internet site. The Apple 1 board on their web site has not component solder to it. Throughout every one of the study I ' ve done I have actually never seen an Apple 1 board, a real Apple 1 board, without the elements on it.And as a matter of fact, I know an. proprietor of an actual Apple 1, Jimmy Grewal, and I asked him about this. He in fact likewise brought. up this issue on Twitter, and we spoke a little bit, and he stated the exact same thing. He was like, “I have never seen a board without the parts on it currently.
To make sure that led me to think that this was simply a. replica Apple 1 board. There ' s a number of ' em out there. Jimmy sent me an eBay listing. of an Apple 1 reproduction board, and to me, the board.
looked simply like the one Eggs carried their internet site. 'And not only that, yet several of the pictures.
on the Eggs internet site are precise copies of the.
images from the eBay listing. However they had some masks and other photo adjustments used.
So it ' s reasonable to say that. Relish just got this board, this reproduction board off eBay, and they ' re offering these. overpriced iPhone situations claiming it ' s a real Apple 1 board, although it ' s not.Now, I can ' t confirm the authenticity or the absence of authenticity.'for Eggs ' s other products, yet if this one is phony
, in my opinion, I think it ' s fair to state that 90% of their other. things'is fake, as well. Another note, Jimmy is. speaking to another expert to assist verify that.
this is a reproduction board, and in the initial conversations with him, the specialist did claim he ' s 100 %sure this is a replica board, but he'' s only concerning 90 % certain this board is the exact same. board as the eBay listing. I ' m rather sure it is, but we ' ll let him reach the last 10 %.'He was claiming he could absolutely discover if he had the ability to get his hands on a fragment of the board, but I very question Delicacy. is going to launch that.So between the 3 of us
, if we can obtain in touch with Relish and they can send an item out, which they possibly won ' t( laughs ), we ' ll look right into it some more. So the chances are slim we ' ll. get anything out of that,'but
we ' ll see. Overall, in regards to. the scam-busting episodes
I do on Crazy Ken ' s Computerese, I simply wan na'help you. support your bull detector so you can help yourself and your pals from unintentionally investing excessive money on an item that'' s just. bordered in deceiving marketing.So just keep thinking critically, maintain fact-checking, and you ' ll live a stunning life. And if you sanctuary ' t examined. out MKBHD ' s other videos in concerns to Eggs, do check those out, and hey, with any luck he can see this set that I just made, too, '' reason hello, that ' d be pretty outstanding. And if you ' d like to have a look at the other scam-busting episodes I did, feel cost-free to examine '' em out right here, and really feel totally free to subscribe for more technology episodes every week.And if you
see any kind of other dubious items you wan na send my method, really feel cost-free to simply send me.
a tweet or a DM on Twitter. I'' m pretty energetic on Twitter, so that'' s an excellent way to find me. And hi there, if you liked this episode, you understand what to do. Thanks for sticking with.
me, catch the crazy, and pass it on. (upbeat techno songs) (computer bell spots).
