The smartphone customization studio Caviar has unveiled a distinctive option for tech aficionados and collectors: a bespoke version of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max that includes a fragment of a turtleneck once worn by Steve Jobs. This exclusive edition, dubbed “JOBS,” is available for $9,630 and pays homage to Apple’s legendary co-founder and the company’s inaugural smartphone.
The design of the JOBS iPhone is inspired by the original iPhone, featuring a glossy black panel on the rear, enhanced by a silver titanium casing with a PVD finish. This look seeks to reinterpret the original iPhone 2G as a modern luxury piece. Importantly, the black panel displays a replica of Steve Jobs’ autograph, accompanied by a diminutive square cutout of his turtleneck, which has been validated with a certificate.
Caviar has created only nine pieces of this bespoke device, echoing the release date of the first iPhone on January 9, 2007. At present, just two units are left for sale. Each device is accompanied by a custom wallpaper crafted solely for this limited release and is presented in premium materials that feature a “signature Caviar key.”
For those intrigued by this exceptional fusion of technology and history, additional information can be located on Caviar’s official website.
