World’s Most Expensive iPhones
Written by: jeremy Filed Under: Electronics, Luxury, World on January 14th, 2010While 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.
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.
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
Stuart Hughes of Goldstriker International 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.

this is so so so stupid my dad has an iphone and its no different then this one. and blackberry’s are better i would say. because they are useful and 2.5 million dollars for an iphone?!!!….NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!
dude all it is is smashed, hot coals that have been cooled
sooo stupid why don’t you put 1000 gig on it
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!
frugality is the new “in” my friends. go to celldefense.com to find out how smart people get fab cell phone coverage at bargain rates and without contracts.
omg this is the MOST ridiculas cell phone i have EVER seen, another exuse 4 rich people to spend money on dumb and stupid things. but i also luhv how pretty this phone is!!!!!!!!!
What a waste of money. For heavens sake, there are people starving to death in the world.
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.
What about a diamond 4g iphone? Made from gold lol, platinum engraved
Wow this is really stupid who wants to spend this much money on a phone I’m on my iPhone 3gs right now and I gurantee you that it does everything this pretty one does. This is so stupid.
Ohhh i have that phone! Ohhh it’s soooo pretty and i love it! what’s so bad about it?
