A 24-carat gold plated iPhone has been sold on eBay for a staggering $6,000
after a three-day auction.
The phone has been unlocked so that it can be used on any network, and is
electroplated in pure gold.
"Two layers of protection are used to keep the 24-carat gold plated housing
in excellent condition for the lifetime of your iPhone," said the advert.
"The first layer is a clear polyacrylic finish that protects from the
elements. This very durable finish is the same as the clearcoat used on all
modern cars and trucks. The next layer of protection is an optically clear
urethane skin."
However, the buyer's joy may be short-lived, since Apple has managed to shut
down unblocked iPhones in the past via software updates.
The phone will also quickly become outdated, since Apple will almost
certainly
launch
a 3G iPhone next month.
