Made of 24 karat gold? Wow, somebody finally discovered a way to make an iPhone more fragile than an iPhone 4/4S :p

Also fixes all those complaints about the new iPhone being too light!

Finally figured out how to make its coating a little more durable. Comes at the cost, mind you.

Waste of money before being customised in 24k gold, let alone after!

By not being applied by overworked Foxconn employees. Ah hell, just kidding. I wanted to take yet another stab at 5's paint chipping off. Of course, it won't.

A iphone is already a waste of money in my opinion and a layer of gold makes it even a bigger waste of money :p
But if you like the iphone you can ignore this comment, while typing on a narrow small screen xD


PS
I wonder if this will be a flame thread again lol
