Luxury handset specialist Caviar has taken the rumor‑laden Apple Foldable iPhone Ultra and wrapped it in 24‑karat gold, releasing the device months before Apple’s own launch window. By doing so, Caviar not only showcases its mastery of bespoke craftsmanship but also signals that foldable iPhone specs have become credible enough to inspire a premium aftermarket.

Design and Materials

The “Flagship” collection comprises four variants – “Dark Cherry”, “Titan”, “Silver” and “Gold”. All models feature crocodile leather accents, aerospace‑grade titanium frames and a three‑dimensional Apple logo on the back. The top‑tier “Gold” version pairs a carbon‑fibre chassis with an 18K gold Apple logo, marketed as a tribute to Apple’s 50th anniversary.

Technical Specifications (Based on Leaks)

Caviar’s website lists specs that mirror circulating Apple leaks: a 4.5 mm thick titanium body when unfolded, Apple’s upcoming A20 Pro chipset, 12 GB of RAM, a 24 MP under‑display selfie sensor, dual 48 MP rear cameras, a 120 Hz LTPO OLED display and up to 1 TB of storage. These figures are speculative, as Apple has not confirmed any details.

Pricing and Market Positioning

Pre‑orders start at $13,840 (≈ ₹11.5 lakh), while the 1 TB “Gold” model commands $16,270 (≈ ₹13.5 lakh). Compared with Apple’s expected launch price—likely higher than the current iPhone Pro Max but far below Caviar’s figures—this line targets ultra‑wealthy collectors rather than mainstream buyers.

Implications

Caviar’s willingness to invest real capital in a device that exists only on rumor sheets underscores how solid the foldable iPhone narrative has become. Should Apple confirm the Foldable iPhone Ultra in September, the presence of a high‑end, gold‑clad version will set a new benchmark for luxury customization and may push Apple to consider premium accessories or exclusive editions.
