Apple has not announced its first foldable iPhone yet, but Caviar is already trying to sell a luxury version of it. The custom phone brand has revealed its “Flagship” collection for the rumored iPhone Ultra, giving Apple’s expected foldable a gold, silver, leather, and carbon fiber makeover months before the real device is likely to appear.

Caviar has made plenty of wildly expensive Apple accessories and custom phones before. We recently saw the company put a Tyrannosaurus fossil fragment into a $4,490 magnetic case for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Its foldable iPhone Ultra collection is playing in the same absurdly expensive territory, only this time the luxury treatment is arriving before Apple’s own version.

A luxury iPhone before the real one

The collection includes four versions of the foldable iPhone Ultra. The Dark Cherry model uses purple crocodile leather and decorative elements plated in 24K gold. Caviar says the color is inspired by the Dark Cherry shade expected on the iPhone 18 Pro. The Titan model goes fully black, while the Silver version uses a silver upper panel, crocodile leather, and a three-dimensional Apple logo made from sterling silver.


The most lavish option is the Gold model, which uses carbon fiber and a three-dimensional Apple logo made entirely of 18K gold. Caviar says this version is dedicated to Apple’s 50th anniversary.

Some of the technical details on Caviar’s page appear to be based on rumors rather than official Apple information. The page mentions a titanium body roughly 4.5mm thick, an A20 Pro chip, 12GB of RAM, a 24MP under-display selfie camera, and two 48MP rear cameras. That camera detail is worth treating carefully, since other rumors have pointed to a punch-hole camera instead.

The expensive iPhone gets even more expensive

The regular foldable iPhone Ultra is already expected to be Apple’s most expensive iPhone yet. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has pointed to a price of around $2,300 to $2,500, and early supply could be extremely limited.

Caviar is pushing the price far beyond that. The Flagship collection will be limited to 19 units, and delivery is expected only after Apple launches the real iPhone Ultra. The brand has listed preorder pricing from $13,840, while the top Gold model with 1TB storage is priced at $16,270.

Better low-light, Video LUT, dual recording, and S26 Ultra-grade resolution.

The biggest complaint about every Galaxy Z Fold, even the Fold 7 that launched last year, has been the same one: great phone, mediocre cameras. 

Samsung has always reserved its best camera hardware for the Galaxy S Ultra line, leaving Fold buyers with a somewhat compromised experience. According to a new leak, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra could change that.
