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

[ApplesAreSweet&Sour]

Neither the homeless, the 1%, or anyone in-between has the faintest notion what "Caviar" is or what their logo looks like.

It just looks like they're really adamant that everyone understands it's a "VR" headset.

Cringe.

Also, Louis Vuitton were the first to do the "letters and icons on leather" pattern for their bags and suitcases. Your stuff is just going to look like counterfeit merchandise if it doesn't carry the actual "LV" branding.

The fact that they didn't even build a real prototype to show off in this video but just rely on 3D renders should tell you everything about Caviar and this product.

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

Well aren't you special!

You really think people who can afford to throw away $10k on a gold plated version of an already extremely expensive gadget worries about the resale value?

You know what you call a rich moron who buys crap like this?
A moron.

 

[ZZ9pluralZalpha]

Good god, it's hideous

 

[ThomasJL]

That's in the same league of tackiness as the Apple Watch Edition.

 

[atomic.flip]

ugh. The added mass of gold will make the headset weigh even more. LOL

I only had Vision Pro for a week, but because I never set up the persona thing, it never showed my eyes from the front screen. That’s easier than buying a shield which will hurt your forehead/cheeks from the weight.

FYI, anyone who complains about neck pain from Vision Pro has not used one extensively yet. You could make it 10x heavier and it wouldn’t be a problem for your neck, but I need it to be 2-3x lighter (or shift the weight to behind my head) before I consider buying one and keeping it.

I guess you have to be rich just to be tacky these days

 

[Surf Monkey]

This is the way.

Yes. There are people like that. People who don’t care about the resale value and won’t care that they use it for a week and then toss it in the back of a closet. There are people, lots of them actually, who have so much money that this hideous thing would amount to an impulse buy.

The divide between rich and poor in America is FAR wider and FAR MORE difficult to bridge then most people even begin to imagine.

You should see the adult entertainment version.... Looks like a buttox on your face

This is what the VP looks like to most consumers.

When you don’t care about paying 50 000$ for hotel night, why not?

 

[ChristianVirtual]

just need to say sorry to my child when I tell it that it’s college education money is literally “over my head“. How crazy is that.

But in case my child read this: don’t worry, your edu is payed

When you don’t care about paying 50 000$ for hotel night, why not?

The same people that would pay $10,000 for a few nights at Disney World in a Star Wars Mothership. Disney has stopped offering it

 

[svish]

Expecting it to be priced at around 10 times more than the normal pricing.

 

[syklee26]

Ok, then how about $3,500?

 

[dmw7]

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

Reportedly, 8 people bought it.
I wonder if it received developer updates through later versions of iOS?

 

[Sigsgaard]

That thing is not "Luxury", it's just ugly bling 🤢

 

[return2sendai]

Not even the most richest people care about this

Ah, but they do.

 

[hugodrax]

Not even the most richest people care about this

You would be surprised. everyone has multiple yachts etc… this will be a new Veblen good to one up your sociopath billionaire who ran out of things to show off to the other sociopaths at the dinner table.

 

[uacd]

Is that same exact company that made putin iPhone X in 24k Gold to celebrate his reelection?

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.

Proves, once-and-for-all, that a fool and their money are easily parted.......
