# Jurassic Smartphones The iPhone 4 History Edition is Made with T-Rex Teeth By Michael Hines | Published 2010-12-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-4-history-edition References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2010/12/08/iphone-4-history-edition/) & [stuarthughes](http://stuarthughes.com/newdawn/product_info.php?products_id=104) Stuart Hughes is turning back the clock on luxury electronics by 65 million years with the iPhone 4 History Edition. Hughes has encrusted an iPhone 4 in platinum and diamonds, but the real luxury is on the back, in the form of a ground up meteorite and T-Rex teeth. No, that was not a typo. The iPhone 4 History Edition actually has a back made of a 65-million-year-old meteorite and T-Rex teeth. I can neither confirm nor deny the truthfulness of these claims, but for a price of almost $63,000, they better be true. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Electronics:** The trend of luxury electronics is disrupting the market by incorporating rare and unique materials like meteorite and T-Rex teeth. - **Retro Design:** Retro-designed smartphones, like the iPhone 4 History Edition, are gaining popularity among consumers looking for a nostalgic appeal in their devices. - **High-end Customization:** The demand for high-end customization options, such as encrusting smartphones in platinum and diamonds, is creating opportunities for luxury brands to cater to affluent customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can capitalize on the trend of incorporating rare materials into electronics, offering exclusive and high-priced products to elite customers. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can explore retro-themed designs and collaborations with luxury brands to tap into the nostalgia-driven demands of customers. - **Customization Services:** Customization service providers can seize the opportunity to offer high-end customization options for luxury electronics, catering to the affluent market segment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Vehicle Component Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-13-pro-electro.md) - [Luxury Bespoke Smartphones Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g.md) - [Gilded Folding Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-xt-ultimate-design-gold-dragon.md) - [Textured Scale-Covered Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-ur101-trex.md) - [Opulent Alligator Leather Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertu-agent-q.md) - [Artful Eroded Green Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12t-pro.md) - [Gilded Valentine's Day Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro.md) - [Luxurious Smartphone Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-iphone-15-pro-max.md) - [Mixed-Reality Headset Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-vision-iphone-15-pro.md)
