I’d rather set my money on fire than buy this gold-plated iPhone 7


I’d rather set my money on fire than buy this gold-plated iPhone 7

There’s been long-running speculation that men driving obnoxious cars are overcompensating for shortcomings elsewhere. If true, carrying a gold-plated iPhone from Goldgenie is the tech equivalent.

Goldgenie, a luxury gift and customization company, is offering the iPhone 7 (once released) in 24-karat gold, platinum, rose gold or encrusted with “certificate quality” diamonds.

According to Goldgenie founder Laban Roomes:

We are very excited about the iPhone 7 and have had literally thousands of enquiries asking when our luxury customised range will be launched. Having customised the first iPhone when Apple launched their device in 2007, I predict this will be the best selling iPhone to date and so encourage our customers to not delay in pre-ordering from us when we open our order books later this month with just a 50% deposit to secure this highly anticipated luxury device.
