Check Out The World's Most Expensive Smartphone, Costs $15M by temiiii(m): 4:40pm On Apr 16, 2013
This is undoubtedly the world’s most expensive smartphone. Stuart Hughes' phone costs a whooping $15 million. It has topped the Vertu's $9,600 Android phone and London Loutus $300,000-plus iPhone case with crystals.


The phone has a solid-gold chassis that Hughes crafted by hand. But the real cost comes from the most expensive home button in the world which is made of a single, deep-cut, black diamond that weighs 26 carats. The diamond is said to be worth $14.5 million.

The phone also contains 600 white, flawless diamonds located within the Apple logo on the back and on the edges.

ABC News reported that Hughes has a history of making gold Apple products, his Solid Gold iPhone costs $33,678 ( £21,995) and the iPad Supreme Fire Edition costs $168,424 (£109,995) - but with this one, "it's all about the rarity and value of the deep-cut, black diamond. “

Since most of the world’s population cannot afford the extremely expensive phone, it is not available to the general public . Hughes spent nine weeks creating the phone specifically for a Hong Kong businessman whom Hughes will only refer to as "Joe." Joe had owned the black diamond for a while and decided he wanted to place it on an iPhone after buying other, "cheaper" items from Hughes in the past.
