iPhone
5
Black
Diamond,
designed
by
Stuart
Hughes,
a
long=me
designer
of
a?ermarket
electronics
is
believed
to
be
the
most
expensive
smartphone
ever
made.
The
phone
has
a
solid-‐gold
chassis
that
Hughes
cra?ed
by
hand.
But
the
real
cost
comes
from
the
most
expensive
home
buFon
in
the
world.
That
home
buFon
is
made
of
a
single,
deep-‐cut,
black
diamond
that
weighs
26
carats.
The
diamond
is
said
to
be
worth
$14.5
million.
And
the
diamonds
don’t
end
there.
There
are
600
white,
flawless
diamonds
located
within
the
Apple
logo
on
the
back
and
on
the
edges.
The
English
designer
and
jeweler
has
made
gold
Apple
products
before
–
his
Solid
Gold
iPhone
costs
$33,678
(£21,995)
and
the
iPad
Supreme
Fire
Edi=on
costs
$168,424
(£109,995)
–
but
with
this
one,
“it’s
all
about
the
rarity
and
value
of
the
deep-‐cut,
black
diamond,”
