Most Expensive iPhone 4 EVER Is Encrusted With Over 500 Diamonds (PHOTOS)

Stuart Hughes, who brought you the gold iPad Supreme and iPhone 3GS Supreme , appears to have broken his own record for the world's most expensive phone.

That title now goes to the 5 million GBP (around $8 million) diamond encrusted iPhone 4 that Hughes custom made for an Australian customer, according to The Sun.

Cult of Mac explains, "Instead of paying $40,000 for a Swarovski iPhone 4, two Australian businessmen paid customizer Stuart Hughes eight million dollars to plate their iPhone 4s in gold and then encrust them in over five hundred diamonds totaling over 100 karats."

Check out the diamond-encrusted phones below.

That jeweller is still living in old times? Ask him to work on some droids as well and he might be able to sell one or two.

I don't understand why people are whining about the cost. Why should any of you care how they choose to spend their money?

That money could have gone a long way in Haiti or Pakistan... vacuous conspicuous consumption

So... after spending all that money, did he at least fix the problem with dropped calls and a cruddy network?

Rich dude 1: Look I spent $8 million customizing my iPhone 4 with diamonds and gold.
Rich dude 2: That's a huge waste of money!
Rich dude 1: But I also got it to run on Verizon!
Rich dude 2: That a @$#%ing Bargain!

So when the phone dies and I take it to the genius bar to be swapped out for a new replacement, what then?
