Prices start from $199 on a two-year contract for Apple’s iPhone 6, but if you crave the pinnacle of luxury for your smartphone then you will have to be prepared to fish out between $2.25 million and $48.5 million. An American company ‘Falcon’ announced its own luxury iPhone 6 collection just before the official release of Apple’s iPhone 6, with its prices soaring much higher.

There have already been a few luxury companies taking pre-orders before Falcon. The Los Angeles based designer, Brikk, have already had many gawping over their extravagant 24-carat gold iPhone 6. But Falcon have taken the bar even higher with their 21 customized variations, divided into two separate collections; Bespoke and Supernova.
Your eyes will naturally be drawn in towards the large dazzling diamond fixed onto the back of the smartphone, which each iPhone 6 version boasts. These handheld-treasures flaunt its bling with a black diamond, emerald-cut diamond, sapphire and Burmese ruby to choose from.

Falcon’s Bespoke collection starts at $2.5 million for a platinum iPhone 6 with an emerald cut diamond and the incredible Supernova collection rises to $48.5 million for a rose-gold iPhone 6 that flashes a pink diamond. These eye-catching diamond-embedded iPhones come with a life-time warranty, which you would expect considering this expense! But you will have to wait 10 weeks after the official iPhone 6 for it, with a 50% deposit handy.
With the iPhone taking top position as the best-selling smartphone worldwide, it seems Falcon has created the ultimate high-end smartphone with its exclusive, lavish iPhone 6. But are you willing to spend a whopping $48.5 million for it? Or are you sticking with the regular?
