Caviar has turned the iPhone 17 Pro into a limited-edition collector’s item by building a version inspired by Steve Jobs. The most exclusive model in the lineup, called the iPhone 17 Pro Steve Jobs Edition, is priced at Rp 143,2 jutaan and will be available in only nine units.
The design is built around a symbolic detail rather than a technical upgrade. Caviar placed a piece of original fabric from one of Steve Jobs’ black turtlenecks into the rear logo area, making the device feel closer to a commemorative object than a standard premium smartphone.
A collector-focused tribute to Apple’s history
Caviar says the concept was created to mark Apple’s 50th anniversary while also referencing the visual legacy of the first iPhone, which debuted in 2007. The result is a phone that is meant to appeal to buyers who value rarity, symbolism, and historical connection as much as luxury materials.
To reinforce that identity, Caviar added Steve Jobs’ signature and an engraving that reads “50th Anniversary Edition.” The company also states that the fabric used in the design comes with an official certificate of authenticity.
Black and silver define the overall look
Visually, the Steve Jobs Edition keeps a restrained appearance. Black and silver dominate the rear design, giving the phone a classic character that stays aligned with Caviar’s luxury-oriented approach.
Rather than focusing on hardware specifications, the company emphasizes finishes, materials, and presentation. That method has become a familiar part of Caviar’s strategy, where smartphones are transformed into high-end display pieces with strong visual identity.
Only nine units, and a high asking price
Scarcity is another major part of the appeal. Caviar is producing just nine units of the iPhone 17 Pro Steve Jobs Edition, which places it among the rarest offerings in the company’s catalog.
The price is set at 8.430 dollar AS, or Rp 143,2 jutaan. With that positioning, the edition is clearly aimed at collectors who are seeking exclusivity rather than mass-market practicality.
Two more iPhone 17 Pro variants join the series
The Steve Jobs Edition is not the only model in Caviar’s iPhone 17 Pro Series. The company also introduced Black Apple and Golden Apple, each with a different design direction and target audience.
Black Apple uses black titanium and carbon fiber texture for a more subdued appearance. Golden Apple takes the opposite path, using a 3D Apple logo made from 18-karat solid gold and combining it with carbon material for added visual depth.
Prices and production numbers for the other models
Black Apple starts at 5.930 dollar AS, while Golden Apple starts at 7.180 dollar AS. Both versions are produced in runs of 50 units each, making them limited as well, although not nearly as rare as the Steve Jobs Edition.
All three special models can already be ordered through Caviar’s official website. Information sourced from GizmoChina indicates that the entire lineup is being positioned for the premium market, where scarcity, materials, and historical references matter as much as the device itself.
