( computer buzzer blips)( upbeat techno music) – Hey chaps, how are you all doing? If you’re new now, welcome, my call 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 fantastically rare and valuable case 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 talked about their case, which has a piece of themoon were integrated into it as well, so Caviar’s been doingthis stuff for a while. I ever “ve been a little” skepticalabout their products. I’m not the panel of experts on thingslike gold and all of that nonsense, so I can’t really tellif that’s fake or not, and I’m emphatically 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 parts up to now. You participate, this produce, that’s a little more in my wheelhouse.Right off the bat, this product is impostor. So don’t go spending thenear $10,000 it expenses on it. I symbolize, if you still wanna get one and impersonate you have a rarepiece of history with you, sure, but really 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 surmises at first. Really, the things that junketed my policeman( buzzer fusses) detector was the notion itself. First off, why would you destroy such a rare and valuablepiece of computer record precisely to make an iPhone case? And second, if the board certainly was real and you cut it up into pieces, 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 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 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 concoction. So again, financially, this does no impression. And Caviar kinda provedthis already by themselves. In their commodity 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 meets no feel 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 precisely is this a fake? Let’s take a look. The next red flag were the commodity photos on the Caviar website. They look like CGI interpretings, which obviously doesn’thelp prove any legality. Too, their make video indicates patterns which are not consistentwith the website photos. So those things were makingme much more questionable, so I was being prudent now. But something that mademe even more questionable were the photos of the physical committee that they posted on their website.The Apple 1 committee on their website has not component solder to it. Throughout all of the research I’ve done I “ve never seen” an Apple 1 board, a real Apple 1 timber, without the components on it. And in fact, I know anowner of a real Apple 1, Jimmy Grewal, and I asked him 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 previously. So that resulted 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 precise copies of thephotos from the eBay listing. But they had some masks and other photo manipulations exercised. So it’s fair to say thatCaviar only bought this board, this replica board off eBay, and they’re selling theseoverpriced iPhone cases feigning it’s a real Apple 1 card, even though it’s not.Now, I can’t confirm the legitimacy or the lack of legitimacyfor Caviar’s other produces, but if this one is fake, in my view, I think it’s fair to say that 90% of their otherstuff is phony, more. One more greenback, Jimmy istalking to another expert 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 make him get to the final 10%. He was saying he could obviously catch out if he was able to get his hands on a fragment of members of the board, 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 are likely won’t( shrieks ), we’ll conducted an investigation into it some more. So the odds are slim we’llget anything out of that, but we’ll consider. Overall, in regards tothe scam-busting episodes I do on Crazy Ken’s Tech Talk, I really wanna help younurture your bull detector so you can help yourself and your best friend from inadvertently spending too much money on a commodity that’s justsurrounded in fraudulent marketing.So exactly retain belief critically, prevent 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, more,’ begin 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 bouts every week. And if you view any other fishy makes you wanna send my road, feel free to exactly refer 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 occurrence, you know what to do. Thanks for staying withme, catch the crazy, and pass it on.( upbeat techno music)( computer bell blips ).
