Brikk is taking pre-orders for a $1.3 million, diamond-encrusted iPhone 7

Got cash to burn? If money really is no object, you can now pre-order your very own diamond-studded iPhone 7. As if the iPhone wasn’t already expensive enough.

That’s right — Apple may not have even announced the iPhone 7 yet, but that’s not stopping luxury retailer Brikk from putting its modified iPhone up for pre-order in anticipation of the new device.

The Lux iPhone 7 can come with large diamonds, small diamonds, yellow or pink gold, or even platinum. Not only that, but you can choose from as many as 120 scratch-resistant colors.

On the low end of the price scale, the device will cost almost $5,000, but if you’re feeling really rich, you can order an iPhone 7 for as much as $1.3 million, depending on the options you choose. That’s a pretty penny for a phone that will arguably be out of date in a year, even if you have unlimited funds. If you’re shelling out that much, you can order the “Bespoke Collection Imperial models,” which allow you to completely customize the look of your device.

As with previous iterations of devices offered by Brikk, technicians will disassemble and polish parts of the phone before giving it the luxury treatment.

Of course, you’ll be ordering blind for now — as mentioned Apple hasn’t even announced the iPhone 7, and the device is expected to come with at least minor design changes. In case you’re wondering, the Brikk renders seem to be based on leaks of the iPhone and are not a leak themselves.

Brikk has offered the iPhone before it was even announced in the past — just last year, the company offered a diamond-studded iPhone 6S before it was available to purchase from Apple. If you’re one of the few who ordered from Brikk at that time, it may be time for you to think about a $1.3 million upgrade.

iOS 18.2 may make charging your iPhone even easier. Here’s how
A close-up view of the App Library page on the iPhone 16.

We've all been in a situation where we need to charge our phone quickly, but it can be hard to gauge just how much time it needs to spend on the charger before it gets a usable amount of juice. A feature coming to iOS 18.2 will tell you how much more time your phone needs, although we aren't quite sure yet when it will be released.

On Monday, iOS 18.2 beta 2 was released to developers. 9to5Mac spotted the codebase for this feature in their breakdown, stating that it will calculate the amount of time needed to reach a certain charge threshold based on how powerful the charger is. The framework was dubbed "BatteryIntelligence" within the code, but although it was present, the feature isn't finished. That likely means it has been added in for testing purposes, but won't be ready for full deployment for some time yet.

Why this 3-year-old iOS feature is one of my favorite things about the iPhone

Apple's latest software update for the iPhone — iOS 18 — is a big deal. Between more customizable home screens, a huge Control Center update, and all of the new Apple Intelligence features, this year's iOS update has a lot to like.

However, as I've been using my iPhone 16 over the last few weeks, I've realized that one of the iOS features I use the most has nothing to do with the iOS 18 update. Instead, it's an iOS feature that was introduced over three years ago and remains one of my favorite iPhone features year after year. Yes, I'm talking about Focus modes.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra are both big phones with big screens, big power, and big price tags. The cameras are also impressive, but which one of these two archrivals takes better photos?

I’ve been using the Galaxy S24 Ultra again over the past few weeks and have put it against Apple’s latest top iPhone to find out. And the results are pretty shocking.
