Caviar reveals the Cyberphone, a modified US$5,000-plus iPhone 11 Pro that looks like Tesla’s new Cybertruck – and only 99 will be made
Russian luxury tech company Caviar has modified an iPhone 11 Pro to look like Tesla’s electric truck, and called it the Cyberphone
If you can’t wait to get your hands on Tesla’s new Cybertruck, this modified iPhone may be the next best thing. And like the Cybertruck itself, you’ll probably either love it or hate it.
Russian luxury tech company Caviar has revealed the Cyberphone, an iPhone 11 Pro that has been modified to look like Tesla’s electric truck. The company says the phone’s look was inspired by the geometry of Tesla’s angular Cybertruck, which the company announced in November.
The Cybertruck gained attention for several reasons, from its polarising and unconventional design to the truck’s theatrical unveil, which involved a “cybergirl” hologram believed to be Grimes, otherwise known as Claire Boucher, who is CEO Elon Musk’s girlfriend; and an unexpected demo gone awry in which the vehicle’s armoured glass windows were shattered on stage.
The Cyberphone may be tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than the Cybertruck it’s based on, but it’s still significantly more expensive than the average smartphone. The Cyberphone starts at US$5,256, according to Mashable, and only 99 of them will be made.
Here’s a closer look at the Cyberphone.
Although the Cyberphone is a modified iPhone, it’s barely recognisable.
That’s because the device is encased in angular metal plates, complete with a screen cover that unfolds to function as a kickstand.
The company says the phone’s back panel is made of titanium.
But when taking a closer look, you’ll recognise the iPhone 11 Pro’s signature triple-lens camera.
