Caviar, a Russian luxury brand, is advertising custom Apple iPhones themed to SpaceX and Soyuz.

The "Musk be on Mars" iPhone 12 is a limited edition of 19, at $5,830 each:

For the creation of the premiere model in the Discovery Collection on iPhone 12 Pro Caviar designers were inspired the successful flight of Dragon. This is a new era in the space exploration, a new milestone in our history.

The body of the model Discovery Musk Be On Mars has a built-in real piece of the SpaceX mission that was in space. This is not just an accessory, this is a valuable artifact. Owning it, you become a member of a space shuttle crew, a piece of history, a hero who conquers the space.

The Soyuz iPhone 12 is coming soon for $6,420 each.

Caviar introduce another model in their space epic the design of iPhone 11 dedicated to "Soyuz"! On the body of the smartphone, you can see the miniature satellite "moving" towards the unknown.

A unique and wonderful nuance of the design is that the "body" of the miniature Soyuz is created of the same material as the real spaceship – titanium BT1-0.

The composition's basis is the combination of composite stone and titanium.

There are also "Musk Be On Mars" custom-painted Nike Air Force 1 sneakers limited to 49 pairs for $1,380 each.

Customized trainers with a piece of the SpaceX mission: a part from the shuttle that was in the open space. On the laces, there are titanium images of Dragon: one with a built-in piece of a spaceship, the other one with an engraving of the limited series.

The trainers are painted manually: the alien landscape with the starry sky creates an impression as if you have just had a walk on the red planet's surface and the Martian dust left on your outsole.

A couple of questions that come to mind (and do not appear to be answered by Caviar's website):
  1. Are the phone and sneakers licensed by SpaceX and/or Elon Musk?

  2. What hardware and from what flight is the "built-in real piece of the SpaceX mission" and did SpaceX provide Caviar with it?
Also, it is interesting that they are advertising an iPhone 12 when Apple has yet to announce or release that model.
