As we approach the Apple event in September, innovations and expectations continue to rise. As with previous models, Caviar is back on the scene. Luxury smartphone customization brand Caviar has unveiled its latest collection, the “Desperado” series. Inspired by weapons and combining mechanical elements with premium materials, this series has been announced for both the current iPhone 16 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro series.
Caviar offers three different variants for the iPhone 17 Pro and 16 Pro.
The most striking and premium model in the collection is the “Russian Roulette.” The version, featuring a functional, rotating mechanical pistol cylinder built into the phone’s rear panel, is sure to attract considerable attention. A single gold bullet is loaded into the cylinder. Caviar emphasizes that this mechanism poses “zero risk to life.” This model, featuring gold and silver engravings inspired by premium firearms on its titanium body, is limited to just 19 units worldwide.
The “Die Hard” model features a miniature Beretta 92 pistol, embossed on a titanium frame. The design features a walnut grip and is enriched with special engravings using aerospace-grade titanium. Production of this model is limited to 20 units, referencing the magazine capacity of the real Beretta 92.
Completing the collection is the “The Predator” model, which features a titanium embossing of the survival machete from the 1987 film of the same name. Crafted from black PVD-coated titanium, this model features botanical-themed engravings. Like the Russian Roulette model, its production is limited to 19 units.
The new series is already available for the iPhone 16 Pro series, while pre-orders for the iPhone 17 Pro models are now available. Shipping will begin after the Apple event. Each model comes with special packaging featuring a collectible Caviar-signed coin and a ceremonial key.
