Your brand,
on my iPhone 18 Pro.
I’m buying one real iPhone 18 Pro on launch day. Twelve brands can own its surfaces—eight vinyl spots on the back, four placements on the lock screen. Bidding starts at $1.

FAQ
The questions a buyer will ask.
Anything not answered by policy before launch does not take money.
Is the auction live right now?
Yes — bidding is open. Bids are stored on a server, timestamped, rate-limited and visible to every visitor in real time. No payment is taken during bidding: winners receive a payment link after close, and a spot is only secured once that invoice clears.
What exactly does a winner get?
A removable vinyl placement on the phone back or a zone in the lock-screen wallpaper, an artwork proof, a finished-phone photo set, and a permanent linked winner listing.
How do payment and refunds work?
After close, each winner is invoiced by email for their final bid. If a winner does not pay, the placement passes to the next-highest bidder. Outbid bidders are never charged — bidding itself is free.
When does bidding close?
8:00 AM Eastern Time on Friday, September 18, 2026 — the announced availability date. The deadline is enforced on the server; bids arriving after the close are rejected, whatever your device clock says.
How are bids kept honest?
Every bid is processed server-side with a minimum-increment check, so two people cannot bid the same amount at once. Each auction has an immutable audit log, and abusive traffic is rate-limited by IP.
What brands are allowed?
Lawful, work-safe brands whose artwork remains legible at the placement size. Bids can be declined under the content policy: misleading, hateful, adult, gambling or infringing material will not be applied, and those bids are refunded in full.
Is this affiliated with Apple?
No. This is an independent personal project. Apple, iPhone and the Apple logo are trademarks of Apple Inc.; they identify the device and do not imply sponsorship or endorsement.
Twelve surfaces. One odd little piece of internet history.
