For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with GRID Studio to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a 256GB 13-inch M3 MacBook Air from Apple. For those unfamiliar with GRID Studio, it is a company that creates clever art for Apple fans by disassembling old iPhones and Apple products.

GRID Studio's pieces feature a deconstructed Apple product with the components displayed and labeled underneath a glass frame. There are multiple options, so you can choose your favorite classic iPhone.

The GRID 1 is one of GRID Studio's most popular options because it features the first iPhone that Apple released. Priced at $400, the GRID 1 includes the iconic curved shell from the original iPhone, which is displayed alongside components like the home button, power button, headphone socket, speaker, logic board, ear piece, circuit board, and more.

Each component is labeled so you know what's what, and there are also interesting and useful tidbits about the original iPhone included. Note that because these pieces are made from old, recycled iPhones, there may be a bit of wear and tear.

The $199 GRID 3G features Apple's second-generation iPhone, which came out in 2008. The iPhone 3G was similar in design to the original iPhone, but it had a black or white polycarbonate chassis instead of aluminum. It was notable because it was the first iPhone that included GPS and 3G data connectivity, an upgrade over 2G.

The $139 GRID 4 showcases yet another classic iPhone, the iPhone 4. Released in 2010, the iPhone 4 marked the first redesign to the iPhone since its 2007 launch. The design included a stainless steel frame with squared-off edges, and it's a look that Apple re-adopted starting with the iPhone 12.

The iPhone 4 had Apple's first Retina Display and the first front-facing camera with accompanying FaceTime videochatting service. It was equipped with the A4 chip and a gyroscopic sensor, with all of these components included in the GRID piece.

First time entering one of these on MacRumors. Fingers crossed first time's the charm!
 
I just got my first Grid Studio iPhone, a deconstructed XR. It’s really quite nice and will look great on my office wall.

When I saw giveaway I thought it was going to be typical garbage.

This is beautiful and original. Can we assemble the device if we want? $400 seems cheap for the first generation iPhone.

I would love to have one in my office.
 
I have gone into safari and deselected "Block all cookies" and the contest form still says, "It seems that your browser is set to block all 3rd party cookies". It has been deselected since the last contest (doh!) when I tried last time to make an entry. What am I doing wrong (remember, be kind. I know you can answer this question in so many ways)?

Simplest thing to do is try a different web browser, like Firefox, and use that to enter. If you're running various privacy tools like No Script, try temporarily disabling them while you click on the Gleam link (just remember to turn them back on afterward and clean out all the cookies etc. you may have accumulated).

If you're using Apple's privacy-enhancing browser features like IP address protection, turn that off. That can break a lot of stuff.

If you're running a VPN, turn that off too.
