For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with GRID Studio to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a 256GB iPhone 15 Pro Max from Apple. For those unfamiliar with GRID Studio, the company takes old, discarded Apple devices and turns them into clever artwork.

Each of GRID Studio's pieces features a deconstructed Apple device with the components laid out underneath a glass frame. There are labels for each part, along with interesting and relevant historical facts and details.

One of GRID Studio's most popular offerings is the GRID 1, priced at $400. The GRID 1 features the original Apple iPhone from 2007, highlighting the components that made up what has become the most popular smartphone in the world. The iconic original iPhone casing is positioned next to the power button, headphone socket, speaker, logic board, ear piece, and other components, and this is before the days where Apple started making its own chips.

The GRID 4, available for just $99, is another great piece of Apple history. It highlights the iPhone 4, which is the first major redesign that Apple came out with. The GRID 4 includes the popular square-style frame that dictated several generations of iPhone design.

GRID Studio's $139 GRID 5 shows off the internal components from the 2012 iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 is notable because it was the first iPhone that was developed under Apple CEO Tim Cook, and the last iPhone that Apple CEO Steve Jobs was directly involved with. Compared to the iPhone 4s, the iPhone 5 brought a taller 4-inch display and it was also the first iPhone to feature a Lightning port.

For Apple Watch fans, GRID Studio has the $199 GRID Watch 1st Gen, which features the components from the first Apple Watch that Apple released in April 2015. Apple Watches today still use the same design that Apple introduced with the original model, though the display has grown and the bezels have been slimmed down. The original Apple Watch included the S1 chip, Apple's first system-on-a-chip, and the first Apple Watch heart rate sensor.

In addition to art pieces featuring torn-apart devices, GRID Studio also sells a range of fun t-shirts that are aimed at Apple fans. The $39 GRID Command t-shirt, for example, features the command key design recreated with a series of rainbow Apple devices.

From October 27 to October 29, the GRID 4 is available for $99, while all Apple A-series mobile processor artwork is priced at $79. All other items are available at a 15 percent discount with the promo code A15.

For a moment I misread the title and thought GRID was already selling deconstructed iPhone 15 Pro Max’s. Love their art by the way. Really cool expressions of techno-enthusiasm.

Just noticed in the first picture is an Apple II cassette for the Lemonade game - I loved playing that… once it loaded!
 
Always thought I could send my own old iPhone off for this. Apparently not. Might make a DIY job.
 
OK, some people win these. But why would anyone pay $100+ for what is basically just a broken iPhone?
It's a creative reuse idea for a broken phone that would otherwise be recycled, I like it. The phone has to be disassembled by hand so the labor involved is a reason it's so expensive. Obviously the audience for this is extremely niche and they won't sell many even at a lower price.
 
So, the winner gets the deconstructed iPhone 15 pro max? Isnt selling deconstructed iPhone that is currently on the market against Apple’s TOS?
 
It’s art.. people pay for what they like🤷🏽
A couple years ago, I won a GRID Studio deconstructed iPhone 3GS, thanks to an earlier MacRumors giveaway. I took it to work - I'm a staffer in a university STEM department - and can tell you that lots of people think it's pretty cool.

(Yeah, I've told this story before)

You're winning a new phone. GRID is sponsoring it because the contest is advertising for their own products - nothing wrong with that.


I have their Apple Silicon display (A4 through A14, no X variants) and it's a fun piece to have on my desk.
