24 Karat Gold iPhones And iPads Really Do Exist!

On October 23, Moda Operandi, the flash-sale site that often allows you to pre-order items before they hit stores, unleashed possibly the most luxurious accessory ever. They offered 24K gold iPads with a price tag of $3,065. The craziest part? They're already sold out!

MTV News reports, another high-end retailer, Brikk, is selling their own luxury iPhones. The German company specializes in giving tech devices high-fashion (and high-priced) makeovers. In addition to a gold-plated model of the iPhone (starting at $4,995), they also have platinum (starting at $5,395) and rose gold (starting at $4,995). If your pockets are really deep, you can get those with a diamond apple logo, which run for $8,895 or more. According to Cnet, Brikk's versions of the iPhone 6 are built on a 4.7-inch display with 128GB of on-board storage. The iPhone 6 the largest iPhone yet, it is also the first time there has been 128GB of storage in an iPhone model.

Though having a 24K gold iPhone seems super cool, (if you can afford it) you should definitely do your research before making the investment. MStars News recently reported, the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models have been stirring up some controversy due to a "design flaw." The problem, which has been widely reported on Twitter in the past month or so, stems from a seam where the phone's glass meets the aluminum casing. The gap is wide enough to catch onto people's hair. Those who actually use their phones to talk, end up getting their hair caught between the seam and are pulling out strands of hair. Ouch!

Apple has yet to respond to the new claims. Although the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus may be the most controversial Apple devices to date, their sales haven't seemed to be affected. According to Forbes, Apple has sold close to 20 million units, with bending, hair snatching and all.
