Mumbai, May 21: Apple is not expected to reveal the iPhone 18 Pro for several months. However, luxury customization brand Caviar is already taking pre-orders for its modified versions of this unreleased device.
Caviar, renowned for replacing standard smartphone materials with luxurious options like gold, titanium, and crocodile leather, has introduced its new Royal Colors collection. This series features custom iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models available for reservation starting May 20.
Reserving one of these phones does not grant early access to the iPhone 18 Pro’s design. Instead, customers are essentially paying in advance for the custom exterior. Once Apple officially launches the iPhone 18 Pro series later this year, Caviar will acquire the retail devices, strip the original casing, and apply the new materials before shipping them to buyers.
The Royal Colors collection draws inspiration from historical themes, offering four distinct designs. The Imperator model showcases purple crocodile leather and 24-karat gold plating, featuring a pattern reminiscent of a Roman toga. In contrast, the King model employs white crocodile leather and a silver-toned body adorned with a French fleur-de-lis motif.
For those preferring a darker aesthetic, the Black Prince model is inspired by medieval armor, utilizing black leather and a matte titanium upper panel with a black PVD coating. The Pharaoh model, on the other hand, features blue crocodile leather and 24-karat gold plating, embellished with an Art Deco palm pattern inspired by ancient Egyptian artifacts.
Each phone in this exclusive collection is packaged in Caviar’s custom box, which includes a signature key and a gold-plated coin. The company plans to produce exactly 18 units of each design, aligning with the iPhone 18 name.
Pricing for the collection starts at $10,060 for both the Black Prince and Pharaoh models, while the King and Imperator versions are priced at $10,200 and $10,340, respectively.
In related news, Caviar recently launched a luxury pink gold and diamond iPhone 17 Pro collection, alongside a $10,000 iPhone 17 Pro featuring an original iPhone 2G motherboard.
