I puke at the ostentaciousness of this hideousness

ask the apple watch edition owners to see if they regret their purchase yet

All 800 of them don't care. The gave it to their nieces. They've got the ceramic one next. Next?

I mean, there are some people who have so much money they don't care. So?

This worked on old iPhones because they had metal bodies. Doing this on a phone with glass on front and back will kill wifi and cellular signal and nullify wireless charging.

In 2018, trade in your iphone 8/plus or x and buy iphone 9 plus!
"How much can I get this gold plated phone for?"

Apple guy: "Same price as iphone x...400 bucks."
customer: "WTH?!!"

 

[fpsBeaTt]

Now, see, THAT is a premium phone.

No. Billionaires don't need a gaudy phone to rub in people's faces. They are Billionaires. They have homes in Monaco, G5s, and sports teams. This seems more like for the cousin of a famous rapper who is also on his "security team."

Yeah, I said billionaires because I couldn't justify spending that with millions
Your explanation suits.

 

[Mildredop]

So that would be an iPhone AuX.

Ironic.

Where's the irony?

But until I put every spare dollar I have into charity, I have no room to speculate on the inner world of anyone else.

My comment was only hyperbole, but you don't have to be a saint to speculate on the inner world of other people, just human. The choices and motivations of others are interesting, especially since we can never truly know them.

I hope you enjoy your new phone.

The oil tycoons from the Saudi will grab like ten of these, one for each wife.

You can't really object to this sort of stuff as long as you believe "a fool and his' money can be easily parted".

 

[saudade]

I totally like thiz and I’ll buy 1 4 me n 1 4 my female. Not expensive,it’s pure gold

 

[RightMACatU]

Meanwhile elsewhere in the world people are dying from hunger and Irma-like events. But hey, some us deserve such a phone right? /s

I can almost guarantee you not a single one who purchased the Apple Watch Edition regrets it. You simply don't understand the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

I gather you must have donated most of your disposable income to such people.

Thought I'd seen it before ....

And a horrible sent

 

[Eggtastic]

Gold is ugly. Rose gold is ugly. This blush gold coming out is ugly. Matte Black, Matte white, and Matte gray (by matte I mean the glass being frosted and the edges matte) should be the standard. Then introduce a red version for more $$$.

Human Race Stupidity

the phone has not even launched.

must be heavy and horrible.

 

[Aston441]

This is good news for some. At least the iPhone X will still be cheaper than paying $70,000.

This isn't confirmed yet.

You will regret NOT purchasing the original Edition in 20 years when they are selling for $1 million +. That is 100% going to happen. A genuine first-generation Apple product made out of GOLD? It's the single most collectible (and more importantly, displayable) device Apple has ever made.

 

[udayan81]

Even a "brikk" of gold of that size doesn't cost that much and in this case, it's hollow.

How to brikk your phone real quick.

You're assuming that anyone who gets one of these will actually want to, you know, use it for making calls or anything else.
