Host nation Russia has had a stellar beginning to
their 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign by winning their first two games
comprehensively. To celebrate the national team’s incredible performance,
luxury accessories maker Caviar has released a new customized iPhone X that
pays tribute to the entire team. Well, it makes sense because the current
Russian soccer team is the lowest ranked team participating in the World Cup
and was widely criticized as the weakest Russian team ever. However, the team
has successfully been able to silence its critiques by scoring the highest
number of goals so far.
Russian website Lenta.ru reports that the customized
iPhone X was released after the team’s emphatic victory over Egypt. At the back
of the Caviar iPhone X, the names of the entire team along with coach Stanislav
Cherchesov in engraved. Additional design elements include hexagonal pattern
that symbolize the soccer ball, and the Russia’s emblem. The phone will be
produced in a limited quantity of only 24 units, representing the total number
of Russian players along with coach Stanislav participating in the World Cup.
The special edition phone is priced at 237,000 Rubles in Russia, which roughly
converts to US$ 3700.
