The Apple iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max are getting a new, strictly limited version, which was developed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apple. The iPhone 2007 Limited Edition showcases part of a motherboard from the first iPhone.

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro ($1,128 on Amazon) and the iPhone 17 Pro Max were recently reissued as a limited edition with part of a turtleneck sweater from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Now the luxury smartphone manufacturer Caviar is adding an "iPhone 2007" limited edition to the collection, which was developed for the 50th anniversary of Apple.

In this limited edition, the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) uses the same color scheme as the iPhone 2G from 2007 - most of the body is silver, with only the lower quarter of the back featuring a black PVD coating. This black stripe shows off Steve Jobs' signature, while the titanium frame houses an engraved serial number from 01 to 11. The back is decorated with an engraving of iPhone 2G components
 


However, the highlight of this limited edition is the Apple logo, as it is transparent and contains a real piece of a first-generation iPhone motherboard. Before buying, it should be noted that the metal back means that neither magnetic MagSafe accessories nor wireless chargers are likely to work, but apart from that, the features are the same as on a conventional iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Pricing and availability

The Caviar Apple iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max in the "iPhone 2007" Limited Edition are limited to just eleven units. The smartphone can be ordered immediately at in the Caviar online store. Depending on the memory and screen size, Caviar charges between $10,770 and $12,700.
