While Apple’s iPhone is already something of a luxury device, there are clearly some who believe it just isn’t flashy enough. Luckily for them (and those of us who write about such things), luxury designers have created these—the most expensive iPhones in the world.

World's Most Expensive iphones - Goldstriker iPhone 4G Diamond Edition

Goldstriker iPhone 4G Diamond Edition – $19,460

Stuart Hughes of Goldstriker International presents the iPhone 4G Diamond Edition, likely the first of a bevy of luxury editions of Apple’s latest iPhone. Hughes has adorned the phone’s surrounding metal band with 6.5 carats of VVS diamonds and, on the back, recreated Apple’s iconic logo in platinum and diamonds. The iPhone 4G Diamond Edition has 32 GB of memory and is factory unlocked so you can enjoy it regardless of your wireless carrier. It also comes with an ostrich-foot wallet with pockets for up to four credit cards. If you want the phone, though, you’ll have to act soon–only 50 will be made.

Most Expensive iPhone - The Princess Plus

Peter Aloisson’s iPhone Princess Plus – $176,400

The Princess Plus got its name from the Princess cut used on 138 of the 318 diamonds on its surface. The other 180 diamonds on the phone were brilliant-cut. In total, the phone has 17.75 carats of diamonds set in 18k white gold around its rim. The iPhone Princess Plus is worth $176,400 while the somewhat more pedestrian “Brilliants only” version sold for $66,150.

World's Most Expensive iPhone - Kings Button

Peter Aloisson’s Kings Button iPhone – $2.4 million

The Kings Button iPhone is, like its predecessor, a jewel-bedecked iPhone. This time, however, Aloisson had the iPhone 3G to play with—and, apparently, a bit of a bigger budget. One hundred and thirty-eight brilliant-cut diamonds line the sides of the phone, but the real prize is the home button—a rare 6.6 carat white diamond.

Goldstriker iPhone 3GS Supreme – $3.2 million

World's Most Expensive iPhones - Goldstriker iPhone 3GS Supreme

Stuart Hughes is known for giving luxury devices such as phones and video game consoles the “Supreme” treatment—covering them with gold and diamonds—and the iPhone is no exception. The iPhone 3GS Supreme features a casing made from 271 grams of solid 22k gold and a screen trimmed with fifty-three 1-carat diamonds. The home button is covered with a single rare 7.1-carat diamond. That’s not all, though—the iPhone 3GS Supreme comes in a chest carved from a single block of granite and sports Kashmir gold and an interior lining made with Nubuck top grain leather.

Gah… the punctuation gods are crying. Why must we let our children use the internet so haphazardly?
I agree, though, the ‘add-copious-amounts-of-diamonds’ method of achieving the “Most Expensive ” is getting really tired. For example: the most expensive rims in the world have never even sold a set… good investment Asanti.

Dunno too many people who can buy these phones. I’m happy w/ my prepaid TracFone Motorola W376. It has a camera, FM radio, web access, blue tooth, and comes with “Double Minutes” feature, meaning you get one minute free for every minute you buy. And are you ready for this (DRUM ROLL) The phone costs less than $30, and is available at Walmart, Kmart, Target, Dollar General, Family Dollar. Value and frugality is the status symbol of today!

They only difference between a regular iphone and this is that it has a bunch of rocks on it., and they charge a lot of it. Really, I could put some rock on some paper and sell it for ten million dollars. Sure it’s dimonds(relly just rocks that common people can identify), but it’s just rocks.

Haha they’re pretty luxurious, but I would never buy one first of all because if you were to take that out in public… per se, New York City it would be pretty acceptable depending on whom you are among. But say if you were in the not so fortunate cities of the world there will be a guarantee that one of those phones would be stolen. And, after a while you start using that phone, the diamonds willl become overused and become dirty and whatnot. Then you’ll have more expenses just to clean them. So unless you have that much $$$ and that much $$$ to clean your phone and whatnot. Be free to get one! “D
