The Midas Touch: Gold-Plated iPhone for UK Rich Kids

You’re pretty fancy, aren’t you, mate? You’ve already bought yourself an 18K gold plated iPod pendant to wear around your neck, professing your love for all things Apple. Then, you went and bought yourself a newly upgraded MacBook and went full tilt on the bling, covering it in a thick coating of 24-karat gold. You stood in line all day today in the UK to get your precious iPhone and, while it’s exciting and flashy of you to be the proud owner of Apple’s greatest gift to mankind, something’s missing. And that something is gold.

Never fear, the gold is here! Pretty soon, you’re going to wrap your teeth in the stuff, but why not first add a Goldstriker custom job on your new piece of electronic love? The basic iPhone runs a good $550 in the UK and, since you have money bursting put of the pockets of your Versace pants, why not go for it and plate up your new iPhone with a £500 ($1055) upgrade? This will get you a sleek gold coating on the screen bezel and Apple logo. For a few extra coin, £700 ($1480) to be exact, you can roll with the Queen and get a full 24-karat gold plated screen frame and almost all of the back done up in a mirror-like finish of pure precious metal.

Both customized versions are made-to-order for the 8GB model and you can buy them from the Goldstriker webpage.
