New iPhone 17 Pro Max that has a piece of Steve Jobs' turtleneck embedded in the back

With a retail price of up to £1,999, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is one of the most expensive smartphones on the market.

But this price tag pales in comparison to a new version of Apple's flagship smartphone, which has gone on sale this week. 

Designers from Caviar have created a luxury version of the iPhone 17 Pro Max dubbed the 'Jobs'. 

As the name suggests, the device is an homage to Apple's late co–founder Steve Jobs – and even features a piece of his beloved black turtleneck in the back.

'Set into the decorative Apple emblem is a fragment of Jobs' turtleneck from the presentation of the NeXT computer, authenticated by certificate,' Caviar explains in the description.

'This detail elevates the smartphone into a museum–worthy collector's piece, where Apple's technological legacy meets a tangible trace of the man who shaped its destiny. 

'A tribute to the beginning of a great story and a rare homage to the era from which a modern legend was born.' 

Unsurprisingly, the Jobs isn't cheap. If you want to get your hands on one, you'll face a bill of $9,630–$11,560 (£7,235–£8,685)!

Caviar created the device to celebrate Apple's 50th anniversary on April 1. 

'This model returns to the very beginning of the Apple legend, reinterpreting the aesthetic of the first iPhone 2G as an object of contemporary luxury,' the company explained. 

'Its image carries the spirit of the first great breakthrough, the moment that transformed the mobile industry and opened a new era of personal technology.'

The iPhone is crafted using a titanium frame, finished with a PVD coating.  

In the back of the device, you'll find a small piece of Jobs' turtleneck embedded in the Apple, alongside his signature.

Meanwhile, when you turn the device on, you'll find a customer wallpaper, reading 'Apple 50'.  

The Jobs is just one of three special edition iPhones released by Caviar to celebrate the anniversary. 

As the name suggests, the 'Gold Apple' features a 3D Apple logo, crafted entirely from 18–karat gold.

Meanwhile, the 'Black Apple' is made from marble carbon, with a black Apple logo on the back, made from aerospace–grade titanium. 

Again, these luxury devices come with luxury price tags. 

The Gold Apple will set you back $8,200–$10,130 (£6,160–£7,610), while the Black Apple costs $6,770–$8,770 (£5,085–£7,610).

If you do decide to splash out, you'll need to be quick – as they're limited edition. 

Caviar has developed just nine Jobs iPhones, 50 Gold Apples, and 50 Black Apples.  

If the Apple–themed range doesn't tickle your fancy, you'll be happy to hear that Caviar has hundreds of other options on its website. 

Fans of The Untouchables might prefer the Capone – a $11,560 version of the iPhone 17 Pro Max with 'Never stop fighting until the battle is over' emblazoned on the back. 

Or if dinosaurs are more your bag (and you've got a hefty budget), you might prefer the Tyrannophone – a £6,830 version of the iPhone 13 Pro Max with a fragment of a real 80 million–year–old T.Rex tooth embedded in the back!
