You can buy a custom iPhone that has a fragment of Steve Jobs’ iconic turtleneck

Customization studio Caviar has unveiled a limited-edition iPhone 17 Pro series featuring a fragment of a Steve Jobs turtleneck embedded within the device's titanium and black panel design.

Key Points

  • Caviar is producing only nine units of the custom iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models.
  • The design incorporates a piece of a turtleneck worn by Steve Jobs, authenticated by a certificate.
  • Each device features a silver titanium body with a PVD coating and a reproduction of Jobs' signature.
  • The phones are priced at $9,630, with the company reporting that only two units remain available for purchase.
  • The collection serves as an homage to the original iPhone, utilizing custom wallpapers and deluxe packaging.

Why it Matters

This release highlights the growing luxury market for high-end, memorabilia-infused consumer electronics that target affluent collectors. By blending modern smartphone technology with historical artifacts, Caviar creates artificial scarcity that significantly inflates the retail value of standard Apple hardware.
