Caviar's 18-Karat Gold Custom Apple Vision Pro Won't Start at $3,499

[MacRumors]

Caviar, a company known for making luxury variants of popular tech gadgets, intends to release a custom Apple Vision Pro plated with 18-karat gold next year that will inevitably set you back more than Apple's $3,499 starting price.

The device's headband is made from Connolly leather, and features a gold visor cover attachment inspired by "Tom Ford flip-up glasses and Gucci ski masks."

"Judging by the public's reaction, not everyone appreciates having their eyes displayed on the external screen. With Caviar's version, you can preserve your privacy if you wish," says the company.

The Apple Vision Pro CVR Edition by Caviar will be a limited edition release of 24 units, with an estimated early 2025 launch. The starting price is "available on request," according to the website, but elsewhere the device is advertised for around $40,000.

Caviar also recently listed a custom iPhone 15 Pro that has been modified to match the look of the Vision Pro. That costs a mere $8,060 and can be pre-ordered today from the Caviar website.

Not even the most richest people care about this

How much heavier is this? Can one even use it for longer than 5 minutes?

Without reading the article, I'm going to try to guess. $49,999?

Oh only $40,000? Bargain!

Reminds me of the "I Am Rich" app for the iPhone way back in the day.

I have a few of the Caviar iPhone 165 Pros. They are totally worth it.

Wasn't it just a red gem displayed on the screen?

 

[Rodney Williams]

All I can do is just laugh about this one. They can have it. I'm good.

I love how they try to make it sound like they are doing something innovative for the masses.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

Gives it some value I suppose

 

[victorvictoria]

You'd better do some neck work if you're going to wear that much gold on your face.

I know they'll sell every one they make. And in 5 years or so, when Apple deems this version obsolete, the moron who bought it will have a gold-plated paperweight. Like the original gold Apple Watch.

And yet I expect they will sell all 24 units at list price...

People who buy this are not doing so for the long-term financial value proposition. It's all about the immediate "social cachet" value within their peer group.

I get neck pain just looking at that.

[JapanApple]

WOW, that is so neat! cost is crazy but omg.

How much heavier is this? Can one even use it for longer than 5 minutes?

It comes with one of those:

But really you’re expected to have a butler who holds it for you.

Great way to cover up all those front screen cracks.

I was just planning to stick a pair of googly eyes on mine, but I guess a solid gold visor would be pretty good too.

But the eyes are pretty iconic...

Who… Caviar or Apple?
