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.
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.
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 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.
Stuart Hughes iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition – $8 million
If you thought his iPhone 3GS Supreme was impressive, check out the latest iPhone from Stuart Hughes–the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition. Hughes has recreated the infamous antenna band that wraps around the sides of the latest iPhone, as well as the backplate, using rose gold. The band is adorned with 100 carats of flawless diamonds, and the Apple logo is formed with fifty-three more diamonds. Once again, the home button gets the most love–it’s made of platinum and features a rare 7.4-carat pink diamond.
The phone comes in an imperial pink 7-kilogram chest cut from a single block of granite and lined with nubuck top-grain leather. It also comes with an 8-carat flawless diamond that can be used in place of the pink one.
Only two of these expensive phones will be made.

another lame device overloaded with diamonds….great just what the world needed! do the diamonds help anyting or make the phone better? NO. What a waste..just get a regular one and save yourself $176,000.
isnt grapes are sour
it may be expensive but it isnt pretty and it will get stolen quickly
ya dats very true… n its no use of usin such cellphone…..its better to use a bit cheeper cell……..
it will get stolen as soon as someone see's it a bunch of teenagers!
stupid diamond phone i like the phone will be stolen fast stupid diamond designer
its soooooooooooooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!! if it wasnt so expensive id buy it in a heat beat!!
It’s fabulous when u can afford such a phone! If u can’t, don’t be that jalous! I have A cell phone with 8 diamonds and I am happy! Never enough!:)
And nobody will still it cuz if u have it people around u have smth like this.
Nice one damsel. You are very correct ooooo……
just as the Local Citizen of Nigeria will say
This is so retarded who would waste there money on a fone like this you have to have money to waste to buy this fone
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.
Amen to that. These people can't spell/use grammar/use punctuation at all… >.>
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?
wow katykynn how cudu get sumthing so retatred
I wanna buy one toooo =D
She’s lying joeyg, she doesn’t have the phone, if she did, she wouldn’t be online telling everyone she has it
I got my iPhone 3G jailbroken and unlocked for $200 lol
lol…? how is what you said in anyway funny?
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
wtf thgats so exspensive
i cant believe i dont dave that already its so amazng .the gold one
Wow……….Being a social worker i smtimes find it difficult to get books for the kids i teach n see the other side of god’s creation that people can actually spend millions of dollars for a cellphone……I wonder who exactly they talk to????????God himself? Lucky people
CRAP! where did I put my phone?! oh well, Ill just buy another…
Am not that suprise imagining a phone of such price been stolen whaoo that's a lot of money
Moré weight added to it, its just a phone bottom line!!! Geez
i have the goldstriker and its a fine phone if you ask me! ive had it for two years and no ones ever tried to steal it.
And it still doesn't have reception…….
No matter how much I stare and wish, its something I will never come close to getting.
8M worth of phone, why not? as long as you have no guilt in not helping the less fortunate, the sick and the orphans. Especially when you knew, that your money came from an honest earnings and of good source.
its called gluttony
awesome.
wish if i had ANY of those.
owh…..who we say we cant buy iphone4 $8.0 million. is nice still a cheap prices. i will buy that cheap iphone4.best price in the market
I was kind of mad that i had to spend 700 for my Iphone let alone 8 million.
