Behold, the World’s Most Expensive iPad 2

26 Mar, 2011, 10:03 am IST | by Siddharth Basrur | Tablets

The iPad 2 has been launched a while back, and it has already taken the world by storm. Now here’s something that’ll top almost any story you’ll here about the iPad 2. This one is actually encrusted in diamonds, has a rear plate made of 24 carat gold and has actual parts of a 65-million year old T-Rex’s thigh. But wait, as that’s not all. The main front frame is made from ammolite, which is apparently the oldest rock in the world, aged at 75 million years. The T-Rex’s bone has actually been embedded into the ammolite. Now comes the most exciting part; the price. This iPad 2 is definitely the most exclusive and expensive one in the world, as it costs £ 5,000,000. Yes, you heard that correct. This insane amount of money is probably more than I’ll ever make in a lifetime.

This iPad 2 is called the iPad 2 Gold History Edition, and has been crafted by none other than the legendary Stuart Hughes, who is famous for making exclusive gadgets like this one. A while back I had even carried a story about how Mr. Hughes had created an iPhone 4 made with a meteoric rock and a T-Rex tooth. Now I wonder if it’s the same dinosaur he used here too. There will be only two of these special tablets made.
