Apple’s next-gen iPhones haven’t even been announced yet, but already a few rich folks are seemingly worried about how they’ll stand out from the pack with a boring old regular 2018 Apple handset. Fortunately, the gold-plating firm Goldgenie has a six or even seven-figure answer for them.
Currently available to pre-order are both the 5.8 and 6.5-inch OLED iPhones heavily rumored for next month — with a glitzy gold finish.
“The 24k gold iPhone Xs and 10 Plus Elite is the brand’s most technological advancement to date,” the company notes. “Goldgenie are [sic] the first company in the world to have meticulously embellished the exterior in pure 24k Gold.” If you’re interested in the new handsets, you can currently pre-order one for a mere $1,966, representing a 50 percent deposit on the handsets.
If that’s not enough money for you (and, since $4,000 is at least within the reach of mere mortals, why would it be?), the company is also launching a $127,000 (yes, you read that right!) “Billionaire’s Edition” limited to just 23 models.
Since that’s obviously an insane amount to spend on a phone that will be outdated within a year, the gold “Billionaire’s Edition” iPhones also comes with a “24/7/365 day concierge service for five years to enable you to live like a real billionaire.” That includes help with financial advisory services, coordinating travel, organizing events, and “personal assistance.”
Oh, and the handset ships in a Cherry Oak box, instead of Apple’s usual packaging, too.
Although Goldgenie includes pictures of its luxury iPhones, don’t think that the company has managed to get hold of any units ahead of time. Instead, it’s presumably doing what the rest of us do: relying on information from Apple’s supply chain and assorted analysts to get a sense of what Apple’s next-gen phones will offer.
That way it’ll be ready to get gold-dipping as soon as the phones are available!
