$10,000 for a piece of the first iPhone

Specializing in luxurious modifications of technological gadgets, the Russian company Caviar has a habit of dismantling smartphones to transform them into ostentatious accessories, replacing the basic exterior materials with flashy works of art made of precious metals and adorned with gemstones. And in April 2026, they decided to celebrate Apple's 50th anniversary with no hint of subtlety, starting with a limited edition of the iPhone 17 Pro/Max (9 units) containing a piece of Steve Jobs' turtleneck, the founder of Apple. We mentioned it in this news article, and we're continuing with another model, a little less extravagant but just as expensive, called the iPhone 2007. Limited to only 11 units, this iPhone 17 Pro/Max, with its titanium chassis and black vapor deposition coating, evokes the colors of the first iPhone released in 2007, and the Apple logo on the back incorporates a small piece of the original device's motherboard. Also noteworthy are the engravings reminiscent of the first iPhone's circuit board, as well as Steve Jobs' signature inlaid at the bottom of the back. A collector's item, then, and ultimately quite elegant. Suggested retail price starting at $10,770, which is typical in Russia.
