Are you willing to burn a hole in your pocket for a 18-carat gold-plated iPhone X?

The gold iPhone XS Billionaire Edition could set you back for roughly Rs 89 lakhs.

Agencies
Apple's new iPhone won't be officially revealed until September, but it's already available for pre-order – if you've got a spare $127,000 (roughly Rs 89 lakhs).

London-based luxury-products maker Goldgenie has already started taking pre-orders for the embellished Apple iPhone XS as part of a new 'Billionaire Solid Gold Edition' range.

The phone is available in Goldgenie's unique Cherry Oak Finished Box. A product page from the British company announces that, “The Goldgenie brand of luxury iPhones are the only fully customised range of devices with functional NFC, wireless charging, no dropped calls and a lifetime warranty.


Not just this, the listing also reveals the alleged features of the so-called iPhone Xs. Many of these include the much-rumoured specifications like support for Apple Pencil and more.

Apple is expected to make some major changes to its iPhones this year.

Last year, Apple introduced the fancy new iPhone X. This year, all three rumoured iPhones are expected to use the same slick design, and boast Apple's Face ID face-unlocking feature.

That means we'll see bumped-up screen sizes too: expect 5.8-inch, 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch models (up from 4.7 inches, 5.5 inches and 5.8 inches).

Are you tempted by these ludicrously pricey iPhone models?
