Caviar, renowned for its extravagant customization of high-end smartphones, recently unveiled its most audacious collection yet, taking luxury to new heights with its adaptation of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models. Caviar’s latest endeavor is a tribute to Apple’s Vision Pro, the spatial computing headset that has captured the imagination of tech enthusiasts worldwide. With a price tag that dwarfs the cost of two Vision Pros combined, Caviar’s ‘Vision’ iPhone 15 Pro is a testament to luxury, limited to a mere 99 units.
The Vision boasts a design that nods to the aesthetics of the Vision Pro, with a detailed backplate that includes a representation of the nose-ridge, camera, and speaker details, and a diamond-knurled texture, all crafted from titanium. This choice of material not only offers a stark contrast to the standard glass-backed iPhone but also imbues the device with a sense of durability and elegance, courtesy of the jewelry-grade enamel detailing.
While the heart of the device remains unchanged, offering the full suite of iPhone 15 Pro features within its 128Gb base model, it’s the exterior where Caviar’s craftsmanship shines. The absence of wireless charging capability, a consequence of the titanium backplate, seems a small price to pay for the uniqueness of the design. However, the financial cost is far from negligible, with the base model starting at an eye-watering 60, scaling up to 60 for the 1TB variant.
Caviar, originally hailing from Russia and now operating internationally from Dubai, has a history of embellishing smartphones with luxurious materials. Yet, the Vision collection, inspired by Apple’s foray into spatial computing, marks a distinct homage to innovation and luxury. Each modified iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max reflects the design language of the Vision Pro, from its curves and vents to the distinctive orange and blue accents, all rendered in aerospace-grade titanium.
Despite the extravagant exterior, the core functionality of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max remains untouched. Purchasers of this limited edition will find the same performance and features as the standard models, albeit encased in a far more luxurious shell. The steep pricing reflects the premium materials and customization involved, with the Vision Pro-inspired models starting at ,060 and climbing to ,560 for the highest storage options. A 15% discount for cryptocurrency payments adds a modern twist to the purchasing process.
This venture by Caviar not only underscores the company’s dedication to luxury but also challenges the notion of value in the realm of technology. The exorbitant prices highlight a market where the aesthetic and exclusive nature of a device can outweigh practical considerations, catering to a clientele for whom exclusivity and statement-making are paramount. As these customized iPhones find their way into the hands of the elite, one cannot help but marvel at the intersection of technology and luxury, where even the most functional devices are transformed into objects of desire.
