Jony Ive's design team has created a one-of-a-kind 12.9-inch iPad Pro, iPad Pro Smart Cover, and Apple Pencil holder that will be auctioned off as part of a fundraiser for the London Design Museum, reports Wallpaper.
The iPad Pro has been anodized with a bright yellow dye, making it unique among Apple's standard color lineup of Space Gray, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold. Compared to the Gold iPad Pro, it's a much brighter, more vibrant shade of yellow.
Accompanying the yellow iPad Pro is Smart Cover made from a blue French leather and an Apple Pencil ensconced in an orange Italian calf leather case. According to the auction listing, the iPad Pro's back and the Smart Cover are etched with the words "Edition 1 of 1."
The iPad Pro has an estimated value of GBP10,000 - 15,000, the amount it is expected to fetch at auction. It will be available to bid on starting on April 28.
Apple has donated specially designed items for charity auctions several times in the past, with Jony Ive creating a red Mac Pro and solid gold EarPods, among other items.

Appreciate the thought, but I live in Hawaii
Didn't have any pics of my car handy so I nabbed an identical one from google...
Ive apparently really hates charity.
Now available in Exclusive Apple Colour, Piss-Yellow.
Another Jony Ive triumph! From the man who brought you the iPhone that bends, the iOS that you can't decipher, and the MacOS that has alienated fans worldwide. Yes, keep up the good job, Jony!

Blue and Orange are complimentary colors. Blue and Yellow are negative colors. Not sure what yellow and orange are considered...
Well...what do you know! Jony Ive, who thought he was the S*** in design department, happened to make a special edition for kids Paddington Bear Edition!
I really need to talk to this guy..mono to mono.
Has he been suppressing his feeling for Mr. paddington Bear?

Hey, don't knock Austin Yellow till you've seen it in person
Including one from me -- awesome car and great color, friend.
No camera bulge. It's the 12.9" model. But, yes, not a great color.
I wouldn't know the exact terms either, but yeah, I've seen this pairing before too, but it was on clothes/accessories which I thought were nice. I wouldn't take a car in that yellow color though.
IMO, the Paul Smith table is the best in that lot.

So, it's just a regular iPad that's been painted yellow. Anyone can make their iPad a one of a kind edition with a can of spray paint and some patience.
one of a kind? Seriously? #facepalm
No. I think it stands a very, very good chance of remaining, "one of a kind"!
The colour choices are very simple to explain. They're all colours that are used throughout the museum and their promotional material. The yellow being the colour of their logo and featuring heavily on their website.
Wife just had a fender bender with my car. It was like any other car. Now it's unique.
The very philanthropic act that Jony can do is not to actually make it, come on.
You all should just settle down. It something that will benefit a CHARITY, NON-PROFIT organization. I don't remember people flipping out this much and complaining about the custom red Mac Pro that fetched a cool $977k. The appeal of the item isn't how "awesome or great" the colors look, its value is more associated with the fact that Jony Ive and his award winning team spent time designing that exact iPad. Of course other individuals could go buy an iPad and get it customized to look similar, but it wouldn't carry the same value or appeal.
As long as it is benefitting a charity or underfunded project/program, who are we to sit here and criticize the freaking color of the damn thing if it can raise an easy $20k to benefit others.
