Caviar, the company known for wrapping standard Apple hardware in expensive materials, has announced its new Black Edition collection. The lineup includes heavily modified versions of the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the foldable iPhone Duo. The main hook for this release is a completely blacked-out design and, for a couple of the specific models, the physical removal of the camera modules.
Design Details
The collection includes several different tiers, with the Supersonic iPhone 18 Pro and Ultimate iPhone Duo standing out from the rest. Both devices completely eliminate the rear camera bumps, replacing them with a flat, uninterrupted panel made from aerospace-grade titanium.
Caviar has also disabled the front-facing cameras at the hardware level. According to the company, these camera-free designs are intended for users working in secure corporate or government environments where devices with cameras are prohibited.
Without the lenses, the back of the phone is just a flat sheet of metal. The Supersonic model uses a satin finish to cut down on reflections, while the Ultimate iPhone Duo features vertical brushing that shifts between black and graphite depending on the lighting. Both feature a flush, blacked-out Apple logo that blends into the chassis.
If you actually want to take pictures with your phone, there are four other models in the lineup: Versus, Titanium, Signature, and Prestige. These retain the standard Apple camera hardware but swap the factory glass backs for materials like black crocodile leather, exposed titanium screws, and 999-fine gold plating.
The Signature and Prestige models specifically use V-shaped gold inserts to contrast against the black leather and metal. The designs are straightforward, mostly relying on the different textures of the materials rather than bright colors.
None of these exterior modifications change the internal processing specs, battery, or software of the base iPhones. You are strictly paying for the custom chassis and the limited production run.
Pricing and Availability
Caviar is only manufacturing 19 units of each model. Prices start at $10,560 for the leather-backed Versus iPhone 18 Pro and scale up to $10,770 for the camera-free Supersonic version.
The foldable iPhone Duo models are priced higher, starting at $13,410 for the Titanium version and capping out at $13,990 for the camera-free Ultimate edition. Each device ships in a custom lockable box with a gold-plated commemorative coin.
