Original Apple I Piece Used in Caviar's $10,000 Limited-Edition iPhone 12 ProCaviar, a Russian company known for creating extravagant and expensive replacement casings for iPhones, has revealed a new customized
iPhone 12 Pro that uses a fragment of the original Apple I's circuitry.
The custom ‌iPhone 12 Pro‌ is styled as a homage to the original Apple I, which was the first computer to be made by Apple. The custom casing features a back panel made of wood that resembles that used on the Apple I, a glossy titanium miniature monitor and keyboard buttons, Apple lettering in the style of the original, and most importantly, an exclusive fragment of the Apple I's circuitry.
Only 63 Apple I computers have been confirmed to still exist, and they have been known to fetch around $400,000 at auction. One of these has been cut up into pieces to make the Caviar Apple I ‌iPhone 12 Pro‌.
The Apple I was released in 1976. Each was hand-built by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. The computer was unique because, unlike other machines sold at the time, all users required was a keyboard and a television set to use it. Many of the originals were destroyed by Apple when users traded them in for Apple IIs, contributing to their rarity today.
