The $4,600, 24-karat gold iPhone 5


Recommended Posts

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

Not really. The cost of the iPhone is already fairly high, and this will probably retain a high collectible value over time, it may actually appreciate in value. I personally wouldn't use it if I bought it, I'd keep it pristine. Too bad this isn't a SGS3, obviously superior phone is obvious.

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

Would probably weigh about a kilogram then. One in each hand, and you'd be rich and in shape.

How do you like your BB? is it better then your iphone?

It's a bliss to reply to urgent emails and messages on this. Also the boards of directors of one of my jobs use exclusively BlackBerry Messenger, so I'm covered.

Cool. Glad to hear someone that isn't all "eww my work forced me to use this" and holds it up as little hand contact as possible like a pair of dirty underwear... that's what most people think of BB. pretty sad.... I hear they have some great features coming up in BB 10 it kinda interests me....

it's the reason I have mine, so easy to reply to stuff and alot of friends have BBM rather then Facebook or Twitter

Bet those people use their phones as toys. Some of us still use them as tools for communication.

    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
