The World's Most Expensive iPhone

Arvisp writes "British designer Stuart Hughes, 38, of Liverpool, was commissioned to make two of the bespoke handset by a mega-rich Australian businessman. The handset is wrapped in more than 500 individual flawless cut diamonds totalling 100 carats. It features two interchangeable diamonds which fit over the 'home' button - a single cut 7.4 carat pink diamond and a rare 8 carat single cut flawless diamond which are together worth more than £4 million. The back of the phone is plated in rose gold and the Apple logo glitters with 53 diamonds."

Where does this phone see itself in five years?

[Roobles]

Few things depreciate faster than technology. So I honestly wonder what will happen to this phone in five, ten years from now. You can't wear it. It can't be easily, esthetically mounted to a wall. Maybe it can find a home in a display case somewhere? A couple hundred years ago any diamond encrusted object could/would become an heirloom. All I see happening to this device is quick transition into a very expensive piece of trash.
