Steve Jobs' turtleneck sweater in this anniversary iPhone

The Russians are celebrating Apple's 50th anniversary in their own way, with luxury and extravagance. Proof of this is a pimped-out iPhone 17 Pro, incorporating a small piece of Steve Jobs' turtleneck.
It's been a while since we last mentioned Caviar in our pages, the Russian company known for dismantling smartphones and transforming them into ostentatious accessories, replacing the basic exterior materials with flashy works of art made of precious metals and gemstones. They're back with a collection of iPhones celebrating Apple's 50th anniversary, including one model that particularly caught our eye. Its unique feature is that it pays homage to the first iPhone released in 2007, drawing inspiration for once from the understated design but distinguishing itself with a unique detail: an Apple logo on the back, into which has been embedded a piece of founder Steve Jobs' famous turtleneck. A turtleneck copy? We don't know how our friends from the East got their hands on this unique piece of fabric, but it is authenticated by a certificate. Caviar specifies that the garment was worn by Jobs when he presented the NeXT computer in 1988, after he had been fired from Apple, his own company, and before being rehired to save it from bankruptcy. It's worth noting, however, that the videos of this vintage event that we found show the Apple CEO wearing a shirt and tie rather than a turtleneck. This information might be relevant for a beautiful iPhone 17 Pro/Max, limited to only 9 units and sold starting at $9,600.
