Luxury phone maker Caviar has introduced a new collection drawing inspiration from the United Arab Emirates, featuring exquisitely crafted editions of the latest flagship smartphones. Anchored by the Spirit of UAE, a customized iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max that pays homage to Emirati culture and national pride, these UAE-inspired luxury smartphones target connoisseurs eager to fuse technology with opulence.
The Spirit of UAE model showcases a bas-relief portrait of the UAE President holding a map of the Emirates, a design inspired by a widely shared image on UAE social media. To evoke authenticity and prestige, Caviar employs 18-karat gold for the raised map and jeweler’s enamel to mimic the President’s traditional white Thawb. This lavish adaptation of the iPhone 17 Pro (256GB) comes with a price tag of $10,770.
The collection also includes two additional models that replace Apple’s platform with Samsung’s latest Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Falcon edition features a finely detailed falcon bas-relief, an iconic symbol of the UAE, set against a backdrop of carbon fiber accented with gold. While pricing details are not readily disclosed, this model aims to blend aeronautical elegance with premium materials.
Trailing the lineup is the Dubai Edition, a limited run based on the iPhone 17 Pro to honor the city’s iconic skyline. This model incorporates a 3D bas-relief of landmarks like the Burj Khalifa, crafted with a jeweler’s alloy and bathed in 24-karat pink gold. Aviation-grade titanium coated with black PVD lends it a resilient, sleek frame. Offered at $9,910, only 19 units of this design are available worldwide.
Caviar’s latest UAE-inspired luxury smartphones come on the heels of its recent unveiling of a Galaxy S26 Ultra series decorated with 24K gold and animal motifs, priced from $10,490. Additionally, the brand continues to cater to niche markets with ultra-luxury iPhone 17 Pro Valentine’s collections, adorned with diamonds and gold. While Caviar’s offerings remain far from mainstream, they underscore a persistent demand for personalization in the high-end tech space, where extravagant craftsmanship meets advanced hardware.
