Brikk is taking pre-orders for a $1.3 million, diamond-encrusted iPhone 7

Got cash to burn? If money really is no object, you can now pre-order your very own diamond-studded iPhone 7. As if the iPhone wasn’t already expensive enough.

That’s right — Apple may not have even announced the iPhone 7 yet, but that’s not stopping luxury retailer Brikk from putting its modified iPhone up for pre-order in anticipation of the new device.

The Lux iPhone 7 can come with large diamonds, small diamonds, yellow or pink gold, or even platinum. Not only that, but you can choose from as many as 120 scratch-resistant colors.

On the low end of the price scale, the device will cost almost $5,000, but if you’re feeling really rich, you can order an iPhone 7 for as much as $1.3 million, depending on the options you choose. That’s a pretty penny for a phone that will arguably be out of date in a year, even if you have unlimited funds. If you’re shelling out that much, you can order the “Bespoke Collection Imperial models,” which allow you to completely customize the look of your device.

As with previous iterations of devices offered by Brikk, technicians will disassemble and polish parts of the phone before giving it the luxury treatment.

Of course, you’ll be ordering blind for now — as mentioned Apple hasn’t even announced the iPhone 7, and the device is expected to come with at least minor design changes. In case you’re wondering, the Brikk renders seem to be based on leaks of the iPhone and are not a leak themselves.

Brikk has offered the iPhone before it was even announced in the past — just last year, the company offered a diamond-studded iPhone 6S before it was available to purchase from Apple. If you’re one of the few who ordered from Brikk at that time, it may be time for you to think about a $1.3 million upgrade.

With the iPhone 16 line, Apple made some big changes with the base models, while the iPhone 16 Pro versions looked identical to those from the past several years. But Apple appears to be making some very significant changes to the design of the iPhone 17 Pro Max — especially if these mock-up renders from a Russian YouTube channel, Wylsacom, are accurate.

The YouTube video shows that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will look nothing like its predecessors, according to the rumors that this mock-up is based on.

Apple hopes foldable and thinner iPhones will boost sales

Apple's iPhone sales have declined in recent years, primarily because the company has focused more on software updates than hardware improvements. However, Apple hopes this trend will change next year, as it plans to introduce new handsets with significant design upgrades.

There has been considerable discussion recently about the upcoming "iPhone 17 Air," which is anticipated to be the thinnest iPhone ever made. It is expected to be released in September alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup.

After a long wait, iOS 18.2 has finally rolled out to the public at large and unlocked more Apple Intelligence features like Image Playground, Genmoji, and an upgraded Mail app. It might have also introduced a way to keep your hands warm on these frosty winter days, according to some users.

Reddit user u/dsdxp posted on the iPhone subreddit that they had unlocked a secret feature in the iPhone 16 Pro. The comment was obviously sardonic, but many other users responded with their own stories of troubling temperatures from their iPhones. The common element between all of the stories was the Image Playground app and the excessive heat it creates while in use.
