[Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g) reaches new luxurious heights with the release of the Goldgenie solid gold iPhone 5s.

The iPhone 5s is already a hot topic and a very coveted phone right now, so to cover it with solid gold is just the cherry on top of a very expensive sundae. This ultra-luxe device comes in the form of two exuberant choices for the consumer. The first solid gold iPhone 5s features 200 grams of 18 carat gold and [364 diamonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-and-jacob-co) or any gems of the consumers choice. The second Goldgenie solid gold iPhone is the same 200 grams of 18 carat gold but without the diamonds.

Though these phones are sleek beyond means, they cost a couple of broken piggy banks to afford.
