• The iPhone 12 Pro comes in a few different variants, starts at a base price of $4,990, and includes an image of a rocket blasting off on the back, along with a replica of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's signature.

The historic feat that Elon Musk's SpaceX achieved in recent days -- when its Crew Dragon capsule returned two NASA astronauts to Earth, completing NASA's first orbital crewed flight from US soil in almost a decade -- can now be commemorated with a custom iPhone 12 Pro designed to mark the occasion.

The design comes from Russian luxury goods manufacturer Caviar, which regularly produces stunning, outlandish, and wildly expensive limited-edition iPhone concept designs that are in no way official and are not at all aimed at average members of the buying public. One of the boutique's many concept designs over the years, for example, has included a gold- and diamond-encrusted iPhone 11 Pro with a truly insane base price of  $100,000. The company has also derived inspiration from Musk's achievements before, such as by taking design cues from Tesla's polarizing Cybertruck for an iPhone 11 Pro with a titanium body that resembles the Cybertruck’s imposing bulk and quasi-Blade Runner aesthetic in miniature.
