Luxury company Caviar has designed a custom version of the iPhone Duo which costs $21,340 (more than Rs 20 lakh). This is 10 times the price of the regular Duo, which costs between $1,999 and $3,199, making it Apple's most expensive phone ever. Meanwhile, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max start at $1,199.
But what Caviar has made takes the iPhone to a whole new level. The device is described as "Liquid Metal" and is crafted entirely from sterling silver. "The surface evokes metal frozen in motion, while shifting reflections enhance the depth and fluidity of the form," Caviar explained.
Caviar explained that the way the Duo folds open inspired the company to come up with the Liquid Metal version. "The design continues the idea of transformation", which we have seen in iPhone Duo as the smartphone turns into a "seamless metallic composition." It added that the phone's "fluid sculptural lines emphasise its new form factor and create a sense of continuous motion", appearing to show that the “surface itself transforms together with the device.”

The 2TB version costs $21,340 (more than Rs 20 lakh). Only 17 pieces of iPhone Duo Liquid Metal have been made.
