Caviar’s Custom iPhone Ultra Gets Four New Luxury Designs Starting at $14,130

Caviar has expanded its luxury smartphone lineup with four new custom versions of the upcoming foldable iPhone Ultra. The new designs are called Liquid Metal, Jobs, Magenta, and Karat, and they push the price of the rumored Apple foldable well beyond what most people would consider a normal smartphone budget.

The new models start at $14,130 for the Karat edition and go up to $18,840 for the Liquid Metal version. Caviar is also producing each design in limited numbers, turning these phones into collector-focused luxury products rather than ordinary flagship smartphones.

There is, however, an important detail to keep in mind: Apple has not officially announced the iPhone Ultra yet. Caviar's products are based on the expected foldable iPhone design and should therefore be viewed as luxury interpretations of a rumored Apple device, rather than official Apple products.

Four New Caviar iPhone Ultra Designs

The latest additions give buyers four very different approaches to the same foldable-phone concept.

Liquid Metal: The Most Expensive Version

The Liquid Metal edition is the headline model of the new collection. It starts at $18,840, making it the most expensive of the four newly introduced designs.

Caviar says the custom panel is made entirely from sterling silver. The surface has sculpted, flowing lines with a mirror-polished finish, giving the rear of the phone the appearance of metal frozen in motion.

The three-dimensional Apple logo is also made from sterling silver. Caviar is limiting production to just 17 units worldwide. The company lists higher storage configurations at additional prices, with the top listed configuration reaching $19,560.

Visually, this is probably the most dramatic version of the four. Instead of simply adding a different color or leather panel, Caviar has turned the rear cover into a piece of sculptural metalwork.

Jobs Edition: A Tribute to Steve Jobs

The Jobs edition takes a more historical approach.

Caviar describes the model as a tribute to Steve Jobs and incorporates details associated with the Apple co-founder. The central panel uses PVD-coated titanium, while the upper section, frame and decorative elements feature polished titanium with guilloché engraving.

One of the most interesting details is the three-dimensional Apple logo, which Caviar says contains a fragment of Steve Jobs' black turtleneck. The rear also carries his signature as part of the design.

Only 9 units of the Jobs edition are planned, making it the rarest of the four new designs.

Caviar lists the starting price at $15,990.

For Apple collectors, this version is arguably more interesting than a purely decorative luxury finish because its design is built around the history and identity of the Apple brand.

Magenta: Leather Meets Precious Metal

The Magenta model takes a completely different direction.

It combines a bright raspberry-pink leather finish with a silver-colored frame and decorative elements. Reports describing the new model identify the material as raspberry-colored alligator leather paired with 925 sterling silver.

Caviar currently lists the Magenta version at $15,270. The edition is limited to 19 pieces.

The design is much more colorful than the Liquid Metal and Jobs versions. The contrast between the pink leather and metallic frame gives it a fashion-oriented appearance rather than the industrial look of the silver model.

Karat: Black Leather With 24K Gold

The fourth new model is the Karat edition, which is also the least expensive of the four.

It starts at $14,130 and combines black leather with 24K gold-plated decorative elements. Caviar says the upper panel, frame, camera-module elements and other accents receive the 24K gold treatment.

The Karat edition is limited to 19 pieces.

Compared with Liquid Metal, the Karat version is less flashy from a distance but still has the unmistakable luxury-watch aesthetic Caviar is known for. The black-and-gold combination also makes it look closer to a traditional high-end luxury accessory than a conventional smartphone.

Caviar iPhone Ultra Prices at a Glance

Caviar's official catalog confirms the current prices for the four designs, while its individual product pages provide additional information about the materials and limited-edition production numbers.

This Isn't the First Caviar iPhone Ultra

The four new models join several other luxury versions already displayed by Caviar.

Its current catalog also lists Titanium, Silver, Dark Cherry and Gold versions of the custom iPhone Ultra. The Titanium model starts at $13,840, while the Gold edition is listed at $15,560.

That means Caviar's current iPhone Ultra collection has grown considerably, despite the fact that Apple's underlying foldable phone has not yet been officially unveiled.

This is an unusual strategy. Caviar normally customizes existing premium smartphones, but in this case the company is preparing luxury versions around a product that is still based largely on leaks, expectations and Apple's rumored roadmap.

Is the Caviar iPhone Ultra an Official Apple Phone?

No.

This is the most important part of the story.

The iPhone Ultra itself has not been officially announced by Apple at the time of writing. Several technology publications have reported on Apple's rumored foldable iPhone, but its final name, specifications, design and launch details remain unconfirmed.

The Gadgeteer also highlighted this issue after examining Caviar's catalog, noting that Caviar is already accepting interest in custom versions of a foldable iPhone that Apple has not officially released.

Notebookcheck's coverage similarly warns that the renders and specifications circulating around the device should not be treated as confirmed Apple information.

So while the Caviar designs look like finished products, they should not be confused with Apple's official product announcement.

Why Is Caviar Selling It Before Apple?

For Caviar, this is less about being first to market with a smartphone and more about selling exclusivity.

The company specializes in transforming mainstream flagship devices into luxury products using precious metals, exotic materials, engraving and limited production runs. Its iPhone Ultra collection follows exactly that formula.

The pricing also makes the target audience clear. A $14,130 smartphone is not competing with Samsung, Google or even Apple's standard flagship models on value. Buyers are paying for the materials, craftsmanship, rarity and customization.

Caviar also offers additional customization options. According to its Liquid Metal product page, customers can request personal engraving, logos or initials, design modifications, material changes and customized packaging.

In other words, the phone is being treated more like a luxury collectible than a regular consumer electronic device.

What About the Actual iPhone Ultra Hardware?

This is where buyers should be careful.

Caviar's website provides detailed information about its custom materials and designs, but that does not confirm the final hardware specifications of Apple's rumored foldable iPhone.

Reports have suggested a large inner display, a smaller outer display and a book-style folding mechanism, but those details remain part of the rumor cycle until Apple officially confirms them.

The same applies to the cameras, processor, battery, dimensions and final hinge design.

Caviar's renders give us an idea of what the company expects the device to look like, but they should not be treated as official Apple product specifications.

DeviceDecode Take

Caviar has managed to make the rumored iPhone Ultra even more interesting before Apple has officially shown the device.

The Liquid Metal version is easily the most eye-catching of the four, especially with its sculpted sterling-silver body and 17-unit production limit. The Jobs edition will likely attract Apple collectors because of its connection to Steve Jobs, while the Magenta and Karat versions are aimed more toward customers who want a fashion-oriented luxury phone.

At $14,130, even the cheapest of these four models costs several times more than a typical flagship smartphone. The $18,840 Liquid Metal version takes that gap even further.

But there is one major reason not to get too carried away by the specifications shown in renders: Apple still has the final word on what the iPhone Ultra actually looks like and what hardware it contains.

For now, Caviar is essentially offering an ultra-luxury preview of Apple's rumored foldable future.
