Roar: The Tiger-Emblem Gold iPhone 16, 16 Plus and 16e Edition
Updated 12 October 2026. Prices on this page are live listing prices.
Roar is one of Leronza’s named designs for the iPhone 16 line: a black phone with a roaring 3D tiger in 24K gold. This page sets out exactly what it is, what it costs and what changes about the phone.
What the design is
- Black Rhodium plating at 5 to 7 microns on the case and back plate.
- Real crocodile leather as the back panel material.
- A 3D tiger emblem in 24K gold, the centrepiece of the design.
- The original Apple frame, retained, so the phone’s structure is unchanged.
Models and prices

The range within a model is storage capacity. Roar is built on the iPhone 16, 16 Plus and 16e. For a gold iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max, see our iPhone 16 Pro Max guide.
Personalisation
You can have your initials, a name, a company logo or a custom design engraved on the back plate or the frame. Engraving is quoted with the design.
What changes about the phone
The chip, display, cameras and software are Apple’s. The outside changes, and so do two things you should know before ordering.
- It is not water resistant once customised, and liquid damage voids the warranty.
- Wireless charging depends on the configuration. Your consultant confirms it before you order, and USB-C charging works as normal.
- Warranty: Leronza states a 2-year customisation warranty and a 1-year device warranty. The conditions are in our warranty guide.
In the box
Each Roar arrives in a leather presentation box with Apple’s original documentation, a Certificate of Authenticity, a 1 m USB-C cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter.
How to order
Choose the model and storage, confirm the design with a 50% deposit, and customisation and quality control take 1 to 2 weeks. Delivery is fully insured, typically 3 to 5 business days within the UAE and 7 to 10 business days internationally. The order timeline guide covers each step. If you would rather start from your own phone, see the customisation page.
