Iphone 5 Black Diamond: Worlds Most Expensive Smartphone At $15 Million by Gerardcole(m): 7:19pm On Apr 12, 2013 |
British designer Stuart Hughes is a name that is more often than not associated with the glitzy and expensive lifestyle, as he has come up with plenty of weird and pricey designs in the past, including an iPad that had a real T-Rex bone in it. Well, this time around, Stuart Hughes has churned out what could very well be the most expensive smartphone in the world, where he calls it the iPhone 5 Black Diamond, as it carries a sticker price of approximately $15 million after conversion. This particular smartphone was custom-ordered by an anonymous Chinese businessman, where it comes dipped in 26 karat gold, in addition to an actual black diamond which will now take over the position of the home key, in addition to 600 “regular” diamonds that have been embedded into the phone’s chassis. 53 of those diamonds make up the Apple logo, and the display has ditched Gorilla Glass in lieu of sapphire glass that is a whole lot more durable, and the entire shebang took Stuart Hughes 9 weeks to make it. Ain’t too shabby to earn so much money in such a short amount of time after you deduct the cost of the materials required, no? http://www.analike.net/2013/04/iphone-5-black-diamond-worlds-most_12.html |

Only a few wud buy de fone in the whole world. don't get me wrong oo!! It's custom ordered (custom made) for the chinese businessman not like it was put up for sale by the designer like phones at computer village in other words the rich man specifically asked for his iphone to be designed that waym Besides I see it as a way of insuring his money instead of the 'waste' that some people are crying up and down. If he gets tired of the phone all he needs to do is remove the 600 diamonds and the gold and sell or reuse.So make una chill abeg! |

Abeg, make all of una wey dey say na your moni na your money chill down jare. When Abacha's money was discovered abroad, how many of you shouted it was his money? When Akingbola was arrested by the EFCC, how many of you shouted it was his money? When Cecilia Ibru was arrested by the EFCC, how many of you shouted it was her money? Whether you people accept it or not, this money expended on this damned phone is a total WASTE, even if the man acquired/make his money legitimately. By the way, how many of you classy people here in Nigeria today will buy a handset of 5 million naira? |
