Ever spilled coffee on your phone by mistake? Love the way it smelled? Then if you've got money to burn, you can now buy an iPhone 12 that's specially made to smell of coffee starting at $6,140.
That's thanks to luxury Russian smartphone dealer Caviar, which is selling a limited line of scented iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max handsets with four different aromas.
The Caviar Eco Collection consists of four iPhone 12 'flavors': Alpine Chamomile, Spicy Rose, Alpine Cornflower and Vanilla Coffee. And these scents aren't just limited to Apple's current flagship phones; when the iPhone 13 is released, these aromas will be offered on the new Pro and Pro Max models as well.
As the name suggests, this collection is eco-friendly, biodegradable and 'biodesigned'. If you're wondering what that means, Caviar explains that, "Biodesign is not just an artistic direction, it is an ingenious scientific solution! Its goal is to find elements of wild nature and integrate them into modern high-tech life to create psychological and aesthetic comfort for a person."
