Smartphone customization studio Caviar has announced a custom version of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max that features a small piece of a turtleneck Steve Jobs actually wore. Here are the details.
’A homage to Apple’s legendary first smartphone’
If you’ve got $9,630 burning in your pocket, Caviar might be able to help.
The company has announced JOBS (via Macworld), a custom line of iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models that pulls inspiration from the first iPhone, and features a (very) small piece of history.
Based on what appear to be renders available on the product’s website, the device’s back features a black panel which, paired with a silver titanium body finished with a PVD coating, reinterprets “the aesthetic of the first iPhone 2G as an object of contemporary luxury.
The black panel also features a reproduction of Steve Jobs’ signature and, embedded in the Apple logo, is a tiny square cutout of “Jobs’ turtleneck from the presentation of the NeXT computer, authenticated by certificate”.
We checked archive footage of Steve Jobs’ introduction of the NeXT Computer on October 12, 1988, and it appears that he wore a tuxedo at that particular event.
However, he later transitioned to his signature turtleneck while still at NeXT.
Back to the device, Caviar decided to make just 9 units of the custom device, as an homage to its launch date, January 9, 2017.
As of right now, the company says that there are just 2 models left.
The devices feature a custom wallpaper made exclusively for these 9 units and come in deluxe packaging that also includes a “signature Caviar key.”
