The Falcon Supernova iPhone 6 Pink Diamond Edition has been named the most expensive smartphone ever created. Priced at $48.5 million (about ₹360 crore), this device is more of a luxury statement than a regular phone.
This extraordinary phone is a customised version of the Apple iPhone 6 made by the luxury brand Falcon Luxury in the United States. While the basic technology inside is the same as a regular iPhone 6, what sets it apart is the use of extremely rare and expensive materials.
The body of the phone can be crafted in 24-carat gold, rose gold, or platinum, and it is meticulously handcrafted. The centerpiece of the design is a large pink diamond set into the back of the phone just below the Apple logo. The diamond used in this phone comes from the now-closed Argyle mine in Australia, which is known for producing some of the world’s rarest pink diamonds.
Despite its incredible value, the Falcon Supernova iPhone 6 Pink Diamond retains the basic features of an iPhone 6, including an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, and up to 128 GB of storage. These technical specifications are modest by modern standards, but for buyers of this phone, the luxury materials and exclusivity are what matter.
Only a very limited number of these phones are made, and each one is custom-built, making it extremely rare. Because of this rarity and the high value of the materials used, the Falcon Supernova iPhone 6 Pink Diamond is regarded as more of a collector’s item and symbol of wealth than just a smartphone.
Some reports have mentioned that notable individuals in the world of business and luxury are linked to owning this phone, highlighting its status as a rare and exclusive item.
