Gold iPhone Fetches $6000 on eBay

by Tim Stevens on May 23, 2008 at 08:33 AM


For most, the slim and dark sophistication of the iPhone is about as good as it gets when it comes to device design. Others, though, need something a little more eye catching, something that will dazzle anyone in the vicinity.

Want both? Check out this custom gold-plated iPhone that recently dropped on eBay. It's a 16-gigabyte model that was taken apart and had its formerly chrome backplate dipped in gold. It was unlocked, too, so you can use it with any carrier you like. But the thin coat of luxurious metal (and a coat of clear protector) comes at a pretty hefty price: $6000 is what this one went for. Better start saving. [Source: eBay, via Crave]
