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.| Stuart Hughes |
