If you can afford that you have to much money to waste

the bling aside, the black one looks pretty cool aesthetically.

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.

Black one does seem to be good looking

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

[Crisp]

No diamond cases? Meh!

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.

Gold and the iPhone seems like the perfect match.

Look ma, I'm so cool here bashing an Apple product.

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

Gold plating is boring. Now, actually making the chassis from gold - milling the unibody from a single block - that would be cool.

You're not supposed to take these kinds of things personally.

Holy cow! If you can afford that, you have more money than sense (no offense intended). That's just...just wow! O.o
