Bling $20,000 ‘golden iPhone 12’ with diamond-encrusted back now available to order
A DIAMOND encrusted 18-carat iPhone 12 is now avaliable to preorder from a luxury brand.
The next iPhone hasn't even been announced yet but Caviar is already advertising the extravagant modifications it plans to do to the device.
The Caviar iPhone 12 Pro Victory Pure Gold is priced at a staggering $20,500 (£15,700).
It's body is made entirely of gold with eight diamonds precisely placed around the edges on the back.
The back, currently based on design rumours, is also engraved in a 'Russian national style' design.
Caviar's website states: "Completely made of gold, it fascinates and attracts eyes.
"The fine work on artistic engraving on the jewelry metal, encrusting with 8 shining diamonds, rich decorative ornament in the Russian national style.
"Caviar iPhone 12 Pro Victory Pure Gold is created for the true connoisseurs of luxury."
If $20,500 seems too steep, Caviar is offering a $5,310 (£4,055) iPhone 12 made of genuine python leather, precious metals and diamonds.
Python's aren't the only unfortunate creature to fall victim to Caviar's style though.
The brand is also offering black, white, green and golden alligator case designs.
Titanium options are also available.
These extravagant designs are only offered to prospective buyers of the iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Those with that kind of money to spare can preorder the luxurious phone designs from the now.
Although there have been plenty of rumours about the upcoming iPhone's design, we won't know for sure what it looks like until official word from Apple.
iPhone tricks to try today
Here are some of the best...
- Typing cursor – When typing, hold down the space bar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad, letting you move around words and sentences more easily
- Close all Safari tabs – To do this in one go, simply hold the overlapped squares in the bottom right-hand corner, and press close all tabs
- Delete lots of photos quickly – Hold down on a photo and then drag your finger diagonally in Photos to select lots of images at once, then hit delete
- Convert currency quickly – Swipe down from the top of your Home screen (or swipe left to right on an iPhone X), then tap in the bar and type a currency (like $200) and it will automatically covert to your local currency
- Check if you're due a battery upgrade – Batteries inside smartphones degrade over time. Just go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health, and check out the Maximum Capacity reading. Generally a battery is considered worn when you're down to 80% capacity. If you're below, you can buy a battery swap from Apple
- Move apps around faster – Hold an app until it starts wiggling, then (while still holding) tap other apps, causing them to stack so you can move them around easier
