You've probably heard more than once that some brands that produce phones set high prices for some of their models. For example, the iPhone 16 Pro Max from 1199$. Then we click our tongues and say that they must have gone crazy. And if the price is over a million?
The most expensive phones in the world
Their life is very complicated, because they have to constantly live up to their image, so to speak, maintain their status. And everything follows one after another: bank accounts with more zeros than fingers and toes require a corresponding estate, and that – a car, and a car… Well, you get the idea. But let's stop at the phone, and see (we have nothing more to do) what are the most expensive phones in the world.
1. Vertu Signature Cobra
The Vertu Signature Cobra, a pocket work of art, was designed by French jeweler Boucheron, handcrafted and limited to just eight pieces worldwide. With a gold-plated body and a majestic cobra made of pure gold, diamonds, emeralds and rubies, this smartphone is a real eye-catcher. Proud price: 504 308$.
2. Goldvish Revolution
It looks like the remote control for the air conditioner in a cheap two-star hotel, but it probably costs a little less than the entire hotel. With its unique circular design made of white gold, rose gold, leather, diamonds and sapphire glass, the Goldvish Revolution doesn't necessarily look like a classic smartphone. This model, priced at 488 150$, is limited to 32 units worldwide.
3. Gresso Las Vegas Jackpot
The Gresso Las Vegas Jackpot watch, made by Swiss luxury brand Gresso, is part of the Grand Monaco collection. It features a gold and black PVD-coated titanium case that is hand-finished. What makes this phone special is that the back of the device is made from a single sapphire crystal. There is also a titanium keyboard with 17 handcrafted sapphire keys that are hand-polished. As the name suggests, winning the jackpot in Las Vegas would be essential to collecting the one million US dollars that this phone is worth. It is limited to three units.
4. Goldvish Le Million
The Goldvish Le Million became famous in 2006 when it was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive mobile phone in the world at a price of 1.3 million $. The design is also very luxurious: 18-carat white gold and 120 carats of diamonds adorn the case. It was released in a limited edition of three copies, which further emphasizes its exclusivity and collector's value.
5. Diamond Crypto Smartphone
The Diamond Crypto smartphone was designed by Austrian jeweler and designer Peter Aloisson and is considered one of the most expensive mobile phones in the world. The case is made of rose gold and platinum and is decorated with more than 50 diamonds, including a rare blue diamond. Ten copies cost 1.3 million $ each.
6. iPhone 3G King's Button
Another work by Peter Aloisson is the iPhone 3G King's Button. This modified version of the iPhone 3G is known for its physical "king's button" on the front panel, which is decorated with 138 diamonds. Price: 2.5 million $.
7. Goldstriker iPhone 3GS Supreme
This $3.2 million iPhone $ was designed by British luxury brand Goldstriker International. The iPhone's body is covered in 271 grams of 22-carat gold and encrusted with diamonds. The home button is made of a 7.1-carat diamond.
8. iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition
This iPhone is made of rose gold and adorned with pink diamonds on the back. The home button is also adorned with a huge oval pink diamond. It's yours for eight million US dollars.
9. iPhone 4S Elite Gold
This iPhone design belongs to British luxury brand Stuart Hughes. The body of the modified iPhone is made of 24-karat gold and carbon fiber. The back of the iPhone has a gold-plated screen and gold-colored accents. The home button is also decorated with a diamond, which contributes to the final price of the iPhone - 9.4 million $.
10. Falcon Supernova iPhone 6 Pink Diamond
Forget everything that came before. This iPhone is the best. This extravagant model was designed by luxury brand Falcon. The body is covered in 24-karat gold, and the most striking element is the pink diamond that adorns the back panel. The pink diamond is considered one of the rarest and most valuable gemstones in the world. So it’s no wonder that the iPhone costs a whopping 48.5 million $.
Conclusion
Yes, the rich have their own whims, but you need to please your loved ones. For some, it's a fortune, and for others, it's just another beautiful toy. By the way, did you notice how the price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max immediately became pitiful?
