Named "Le Million" due to its staggering price tag of exactly one million dollars, this luxurious device was produced in a highly exclusive edition of only three units.
The first two editions were acquired by anonymous Russian businessmen for 1.2 million USD each, underscoring its elite status in the realm of luxury goods. Remarkably, the third edition remains unsold to this day, adding to its mystique and rarity.

This exclusive device features the iconic Apple logo adorned with 53 diamonds on its back and is limited to just two units.
Valued at $8 million, this extraordinary iPhone 4 retains all the standard features of the original model, including a Retina display, Apple A4 CPU, 5-megapixel camera, and 32 GB storage capacity. The distinctive aspect lies in its lavish decoration with 500 diamonds, including 53 diamonds forming the Apple logo, totaling 100 carats.
The rear of the phone is crafted from rose gold, while the front button is made of platinum and includes a 7.4-carat single-cut diamond that can be swapped with a pink diamond, according to the user's preference.
Despite being the fourth most expensive phone globally, this exceptional iPhone is not available for purchase as it was custom-created by Stuart Hughes for Tony Sage, a prominent mining mogul and wealthy Australian businessman.
These two exclusive phones were presented in a 7-kilogram box crafted from a slab of pink granite, finished in imperial rose, and lined with top-grain Nubuck leather—a testament to their luxurious and bespoke nature.

2. iPhone 5 Diamond Black
Price: $15,000,000.00
Crafted by renowned British jeweler Stuart Hughes for a wealthy Chinese client, the iPhone 5 Black Diamond stands as the second-most expensive phone globally, priced at $15 million.
This ultra-luxurious smartphone features a chassis made from 26-karat gold and is adorned with 600 flawless white diamonds, earning its name from the centerpiece—a rare 24-karat black diamond replacing the Home button.
The Apple logo on this exclusive device is crafted from pure gold and enhanced with 53 small diamonds, showcasing a distinctive 3D design. Constructing the iPhone 5 Diamond Black required nine weeks of meticulous craftsmanship.
Setting it apart further, the phone's screen is protected by sapphire glass, renowned for its exceptional durability compared to standard Gorilla Glass. However, its rarity and cost—10 times higher than Gorilla Glass—underscore its inclusion in high-end timepieces and luxury items like this renowned smartphone.
Initially planning additional editions, Stuart Hughes faced a setback when Apple ceased software support for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c in 2017, rendering the iPhone Black Diamond obsolete for potential future builds.
