iPodfather and Nest CEO spotted showing off (RED) Mac Pro, Gold EarPods (Updated)

Famed former head of Apple’s iPod devision and current founder and CEO of Nest Tony Fadell was recently spotted showing off the Jony Ive-designed and auctioned Product (RED) Mac Pro and Gold EarPods.

It’s unclear whether Mr. Fadell was the buyer at either auction, but both photos suggest he is the owner of both one-of-a-kind treasures from the company he helped build strong in the early 2000’s.

The Mac Pro sold at auction for $977,000 while the EarPods went for just under half a million dollars at $461,000.

Update 12/13/2013: A day and a half following the original tweets showing Tony Fadell photographed with the auctioned products, Mr. Fadell has clarified that he is not the owner of either.

    Did this price included AppleCare, or it has to be purchased separately?
