Squarely targeting the money-is-no-object market, iPhone modifier Gresso has debuted the iPhone 7 Black Diamond collection, boasting multiple 18 karat gold embellishments and 104 karats of black diamonds encrusted on the collection's back panel —  with matching AirPods to boot.
Only three of the "Lux" model will be produced. It entails a 256GB iPhone 7 back panel encrusted in 1,450 black diamonds, a body crafted from grade-5 titanium, a camera frame made from 10 grams of 18 karat gold, and individualized engraving.
The Lux iPhone 7 will retail for $500,000.
For the less wealthy seeking an iPhone 7 Plus, Gresso has more affordable adornments available. Gresso's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models are crafted from some of the same premium materials as the Lix, including grade-5 titanium, 18 karat gold inlay, and diamond embellishments, and only 999 will be constructed.
The Gresso iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus collections retail at $3,000 and up.
Buyers won't have to break the bank on delivery, however: The company offers free 2-5 day shipping worldwide with any purchase.

Diamonds, $500,000. Lack of taste, priceless.
For entertainment value, see the specs listed at https://gresso.com/landing/iphone-6-by-gresso/en/. It's as if they lost steam halfway through - the specs are correct in the beginning but then become cut and paste with the same weight and dimensions listed for the 7 and 7 plus versions...
The ultra rich will waste money on anything that has more gold or diamonds than the next person. Sad.
Look, we all know some Chinese rich dude's kid is going to need to buy all 3 of those stupid things for his dog.
