The Russian company Caviar, known for its incredibly expensive designer reinterpretations of popular smartphones, has presented an updated "Russia" line based on the latest Apple smartphone models.
The update is timed to coincide with the birthday of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The updated collection includes two versions of the iPhone 17 Pro (iPhone 17 Pro Max), each of which embodies a quote from the president.
In both versions, aluminum is replaced with aviation-grade titanium, which solves the problem of rapid wear of the case.
The first model is called "The whole life is Russia", this phrase is engraved on the titanium case, as a reference to Vladimir Putin's phrase: "For me, Russia is my whole life." The finish is complemented by the Russian coat of arms, covered with 999 gold, crocodile leather and black onyx inserts.
The "Strong Russia" model in a titanium case is also decorated with an image of the Russian coat of arms and embodies another famous quote from the president - "If a fight is inevitable, you need to strike first." The finish uses crocodile leather, enamel and composite stone.
The signature handmade case shows a video with selected quotes from the president on the built-in screen. The price of patriotic copies starts from 599 thousand rubles for "Strong Russia" and 689 thousand rubles for "The whole life is Russia".
