Luxury phones, eh? There’s something peculiar about the idea that glueing bits of shiny mineral to a phone increases its worth by 25x.
I mean, I know that diamonds are rare, and I know that they are representative of your social status, but I just can’t comprehend the value in shelling out £15,000 for a device that otherwise costs £599.
Ok, so they throw in a cool phone number (they give the example of 07XXX 111111), and also a 24hr global concierge service, and hey, you can even snag one in white…
…but don’t you already have a phone number? Or some other concierge service (or a PA willing to go the extra mile)? And the white iPhone will be here soonish, too, so, do you really like shiny things that much?
You do? Oh.
But £15,000 is still £15,000.
What!? You earn how much every day?
