A golden iPhone was probably what the mobile phone market really needed in order to best combine great features with expensive materials. Luxury handsets usually come with pretty low performances, which makes Apple's phone a great alternative for those who feel that a gold dipping enables their phone to offer better support for communication.

Goldstriker is a company that has covered in gold many other handsets over the years. Most of them were pretty successful models and were targeted towards those who looked to receive their performances in a stylish case with precious metals. The price should also be in direct competition with other luxury phones, but will also bring some high-end features on the device.

Apple is working on ways to improve the iPhone's capabilities, while Goldstriker is taking care of its looks, although precious metal covering is not something appreciated by everybody. It's shiny, expensive and should stand out like nothing else. Thieves should also spot it in an instant, especially on a sunny weather, when it will shine more intensely than any jewellery the owner might be wearing.

A 24 carat iPhone is obviously something to show off, now that everybody can have a normal such device, even if it has not been launched on several markets. Moreover, some people might love their handset so much that they would love to turn it into an accessory rather than a mobile communication device. The gold is surely not going to have any impact on the way the device will perform, although the shine will surely give it an extra stylish touch.

The 24-carat gold iPhone will be available starting the middle of October. Its parts are adorned in gold, as well as its side strip and three quarters of its back. Goldstriker has made no specifications regarding the price that this device will come at, although it should be revealed until its release.
