Brikk starts pre-orders for $199,995 diamond-clad iPhone 6s

No, Apple still hasn’t introduced this year’s new iPhones, which are widely expected to be called iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. That, however, hasn’t stopped one company that’s into adding luxury to Apple’s devices from starting pre-orders for modified versions of these handsets.

As always in these cases, what’s on the inside will stay the same. The outside, however, is a different thing entirely.

Brikk is offering you blinged-up iPhone 6s units starting at $7,995, and going all the way up to a mind-blowing $199,995. The cheapest model is the iPhone 6s Lux, made with two layers of pure 24k yellow gold, 18k pink gold, or 950 platinum.

At the other end of the scale sits the iPhone 6s Plus Diamond Omni, which is coated with the same options as the cheapest option, but adds in diamonds. Lots of diamonds, making for a total of 53 carats.

Brikk says it will start shipping the pre-ordered devices around 4 to 6 weeks after Apple is going to release the standard, non-gold plated iPhone 6s duo. You can pre-order either by paying in full or by shelling out a non-refundable deposit that goes from $2,500 to $25,000 depending on which product you choose.

It has become clear that while there will likely always be a place for text, photos and video are just now coming into their prime.

Choosing between the Galaxy Note5 and S6 edge+ is tough, Chrissy Teigen will tell you

No matter how hard Samsung tries to persuade you that the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ are two very different devices with distinct target audiences, there’s no escaping the fact that both of them are similarly sized 5.7-inch premium phablets with identical internals.

It’s no wonder then that picking one of the two is a tough call, which mostly hangs on whether you’d ever think of using the S Pen. It would appear, though, that there’s more to consider, as Chrissy Teigen will quickly have you convinced in the video below.

Having a model talk about smartphones certainly brings a fresh perspective, and surprised as you may be, she does appreciate the S Pen. Ultimately, though, she goes for the Galaxy S6 edge+, and we suspect Pippa (the French bulldog) might have had a say on the matter.

But why does John Legend have two phones, after…
