Caviar, the Russian luxury company known for customizing popular phones including iPhones as announced its plans for the upcoming iPhone 12 series. According to Caviar, its customized iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro will pay homage to the Apple 1.
The Apple 1 was the first computer made by Apple. It was actually hand-built by Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, and was released in 1976. The computer was discontinued on September 30, 1977 (exactly 43 years ago tomorrow) which is the reason why Caviar wants to base its next customized iPhones on it.
Caviar says there will be two versions of the customized iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. One will have a piece of the original Apple 1 motherboard stuck on the back of the phone which has a natural wood panel. Above the motherboard is a glossy titanium screen. This version called the Apple 1 will have a starting price of $10,000.
The second version called the Light version will also have a wooden back panel, feature the same “Apple” engraving on the back, but come with a much smaller piece of the Apple 1 motherboard. This version will start at $5000.
Caviar says limited quantities will be available – just 9 units of the Apple 1 and 49 units of the Light version. Expect them to be available following the release of the iPhone 12 series next month.
