Before the iPhone 6 was unveiled on Tuesday night at the Flint Center, an iPhone 6 gold pre-order has already been made available by luxury phone manufacturer Amosu. In their website, head designer Alexander Amosu made the official announcement that the iPhone 6 24K Gold is available for pre-order.
According to the designer, the smartphone has been encrusted with gold using a technique similar to making gold-plate Rolex watches.
Customers who order a 24K Gold iPhone 6 from Amosu will also be given an offering of having a specific text or logo be engraved on their phones' backplate.
The iPhone 6 Gold comes with a whopping price of $3,090, although customers can enjoy an additional leather case, worth $200, to be free of charge if they order the handset before Sept. 12, as reported by Harper's Bazaar.
Amosu became widely known for covering and styling phones with jewels and such in 2007 when it released gold-encrusted iPhones and Blackberries.
While Amosu had been selling the latest iPhone edition even before it was officially released, not everyone can make an iPhone 6 Gold pre-order. Only registered members of the phone manufacturer can obtain access to its newest offering.
It remains uncertain, however, whether the company is selling gold versions of the 4.7 inch smartphone or its larger 5.5 inch equivalent.
During the official release of the latest Apple products, two iPhones were introduced as major additions to Apple's lineup of smartphones- the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, NY Times reports. These were deemed essential for the company's performance due to the continually increasing demand among consumers for larger phone screens.
Aside from the smartphones, the Apple Watch was also introduced, a huge step for the company to take on fitness-tracking technology and expand their current target market.
The products were displayed at the Flint Center, the same location where Apple first introduced the Macintosh in the 1980s.
