For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with GRID Studio to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win one of Apple's iPhone 16 models. If you're not familiar with GRID Studio, it's a company that takes old, discarded Apple products and turns them into art for Apple fans.

GRID Studio is hosting a sale this week, and there are special discounts on the iPhone 2G and the iPhone 5 pieces, along with a 15 percent discount on everything else. Just enter the promo code PD15 when checking out to get the deal.

The GRID 2G is available for $299, which is $100 off the regular $399 price. The GRID 2G is one of the most popular devices that GRID Studio sells, because it showcases the first iPhone that Apple made. It highlights all of the components that were in the original 2007 iPhone, including the curved shell, power button, headphone socket, speaker, logic board, and ear piece.

The Grid 5 is available for just $109 this week, down from $169. It features the 2012 iPhone 5, which was the first iPhone that was developed under Apple CEO Tim Cook and the last iPhone that Apple CEO Steve Jobs was involved with. The iPhone 5 is an important part of Apple's history because it included a taller 4-inch display, and it was the first iPhone to use the Lightning port rather than the 30-pin port.

GRID Studio has a whole range of deconstructed Apple devices, and each one includes all of the components artfully displayed and labeled. A sleek black frame completes the look, and there are interesting details included about each component.

I'd be interested to hear back from one or more of the winners as well.

Generally speaking, most giveaways are designed to maximize the number of participants, thereby also maximizing the return-on-investment. There is of course nothing specifically wrong with that... but some take it to extremes. I've observed this personally by way of those mall car giveaways, many years ago: the local malls were each giving away different cars during a particular summer. One mall gave away a minivan, one mall gave away a luxury sedan... you get the idea.

I was present at the ceremony for one of those giveaways, and the "show runners" or whatever you want to call them made a point of telling the winner, "Now, you can tell all of your friends that someone really does win these giveaways!"

The very next year, all of the mall giveaways looked much the same -- except that you had to agree to go to a timeshare pitch to enter the giveaway and there was only one car to give away, between all of the regional area malls. Which is to say, the odds went from something like a 1-in-X-thousands chance of winning to a 1-in-X-millions chance.

All of that to say, it seems to me that the MacRumors giveaway is a bit of a rare breed, in todays world... the odds of winning typically aren't remotely as bad as those old timeshare scams.

I won a bluetooth keyboard here once. Stupidly forgot to specify color when they notified me I won, so it became the only white/silver thing in my otherwise black/spacegrey setup
