The World's Most Expensive iPhone 20
Arvisp writes "British designer Stuart Hughes, 38, of Liverpool, was commissioned to make two of the bespoke handset by a mega-rich Australian businessman. The handset is wrapped in more than 500 individual flawless cut diamonds totalling 100 carats. It features two interchangeable diamonds which fit over the 'home' button - a single cut 7.4 carat pink diamond and a rare 8 carat single cut flawless diamond which are together worth more than £4 million. The back of the phone is plated in rose gold and the Apple logo glitters with 53 diamonds."

I got Apple to make me my phone in only a single, secret edition. They charged me 700 million in R&D expenses and made me sign an NDA so big it had to be brought in through the window by piano movers. If they even found out I was talking about this, my life would be over.

Well, a 5 year old iPhone (the original metal back one) is still reasonably on par with any current Android phone. Perhaps lagging a little specs wise, but well within the same ballpark to any casual observer. I'd say in 5 years the iPhone 4 will still be just fine, if it hasn't smashed yet.

That looks...terrible.
How come when people decide to throw millions of dollars at a project like this, they won't spend 10k on an artist to make it look good?

With all that cr... glitterstuff around it. Can you call with it? Maybe this is a more... expensive solution for the iPhone4? (you don't touch the antenna quest of all the rocks)
