# $176,400 iPhone Peter Aloisson Princess Plus By andreea vrabie | Published 2008-03-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-princess-plus-aloisson References: [luxurylaunches](http://www.luxurylaunches.com/gadgets/the_worlds_most_expensive_iphone.php) & [aloisson](http://www.aloisson.com/m-6537.php) You thought Amosu's $41,225 iPhone was ridiculous? **[Peter Aloisson](http://www.aloisson.com/m-6537.php)**, an Austrian luxury designer, has recently created the most expensive iPhone in the world (til now, I say this is only the beginning). With a price tag of 120,000 Euros ($176,400), the phone is embellished with [318 diamonds of 17.75 carats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marrow-martini), set in 18k white gold around its rim. Its first customer was a Russian businessman who had pre-ordered it way back in October 2007 for a January 2008 delivery. I say the next iPhone should be made of pure gold. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Tech:** The demand for luxury technology products is growing, creating opportunities for designers to create high-end, expensive versions of everyday devices. - **Customization:** Consumers are seeking personalized and unique products, leading to the popularity of customized luxury smartphones like the $176,400 iPhone. - **Exclusivity:** Limited edition and exclusive products are becoming increasingly desirable, prompting luxury designers to create one-of-a-kind smartphones for ultra-wealthy clientele. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Design:** Luxury designers can capitalize on the trend of high-end tech products by creating customized and exclusive smartphones with meticulous craftsmanship and precious materials. - **Jewelry:** Jewelers can explore opportunities to collaborate with luxury tech designers, creating high-end smartphones adorned with precious gemstones to cater to affluent customers looking for unique and extravagant devices. - **Technology Manufacturing:** Technology manufacturers can venture into the luxury market by creating limited edition, high-end smartphones for niche customers, combining cutting-edge technology with opulent materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Diamond Watch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept.md) - [Gilded Folding Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-xt-ultimate-design-gold-dragon.md) - [Gilded Valentine's Day Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro.md) - [Luxury Bespoke Smartphones Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g.md) - [Electric Vehicle Component Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-13-pro-electro.md) - [Mixed-Reality Headset Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-vision-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Opulent Alligator Leather Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertu-agent-q.md) - [Luxurious Smartphone Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-iphone-15-pro-max.md) - [18K Gold VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-vision-pro-cvr-edition.md)
