iPhone 4 History Edition, Complete with Dinosaur Tooth

07 Dec, 2010, 1:41 pm IST | by Siddharth Basrur | Smartphones

If you thought owning something prehistoric came at a price, you were so right. Stuart Hughes has been making the most expensive, exclusive gadgets for a while now, and this time it seems like he’s made the master of them all, the iPhone 4 History Edition. Phones made with gold and platinum and fitted with precious stones are so passé now, because Mister Hughes has taken the game to another level. The back of this phone has actually been fitted with an actual meteoric stone and, wait for it… a real Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth. Sounds incredible, doesn’t it? As does the price. This monumental phone costs a whopping £39,995 (Rs. 2,810,125) and even if you did have that kind of money to spare, only ten will be made, so you’d better hurry up and get the world’s first dinosaur phone while it’s still up for grabs.

Back to the Stone Age

Luxury Launches says that the idea for this phone was first brought to Hughes’ notice by his wife, Katherine, after which they actually sourced the 65 million-year-old T-Rex tooth from Arizona, US. The back of the phone is not only clad in the prehistoric dinosaur’s tooth and a meteoric stone, but also has a whole lot of bling. The rim has been set with 8.5ct ‘IF’ flawless diamonds and a diamond studded Apple logo set in platinum. Now that’s what I call an expensive phone.
