Ah, to have an obscene amount of money and the privilege to decide whether to get two Apple Vision Pros and an iPhone, or just one iPhone 15 Pro. Caviar, known for its opulent tech customizations, is tipping its hat—or, rather, headset—to the mixed-reality gear with a smartphone modded to match its sibling.
For the extravagant iPhone 15 Pro, the brand has ditched the standard glass back for a more industrial look: aerospace-grade titanium. This ultra-durable material is then etched with intricate details that mirror the Vision Pro’s design, including the headset’s bridge, speaker grilles, and camera accents.

Clean lines, subtle blue and orange accents (achieved with jewelry-grade enamel), along with a texture that evokes the world of virtual reality exploration embellish the model. It needs to be said that all this comes minus the “spatial computing” capabilities promised in the real deal.

Clearly more form than function, the smartphone has a few important trade-offs. Firstly, the glass-free back means wireless charging is out of the picture. Additionally, the Vision, as it’s called, lives up to its name in exclusivity—only 99 units are being produced, and the price tag reflects that rarity. The starting cost for this conversation starter is a cool US$8,060 for the 128GB model, reaching a staggering US$9,060 for the 1TB version.

But if mixed reality is what you seek, you might be glad to know that Caviar also offers a custom-made 18K gold Vision Pro complete with Rolls Royce-grade leather for the headband. Talk about luxury with a capital L.
