24kt Gold-Plated iPhone 5 Now Available



The company is renowned for adding sheets of gold plating on some of the most sought-after gadgets on the market, and the iPhone 5 – which released on Friday – is certainly the most-wanted device on the market at this point in time. As you can see from the images, the already aesthetically-pleasing device looks stunning laden in solid 24k gold, and although we ourselves don’t have that kind of cash to splash on gold-plating, we’d have to prefer the black model, based on the images. The White & Silver model seemed to be your favorite based on the poll we threw up on Facebook over the weekend, but alongside the gold plating, the darker of the two iPhone 5 configurations certainly oozes the most sophistication.

Prices have yet to be revealed, although having contacted the company personally, I was advised the iPhone 5 would cost $4600 for the gold, with the Rose gold weighing in at around $5000. Considering a 64GB iPhone 4S gold plated by the same company will set you back around $4,300, it seems the predictions aren’t too far off what they’ll retail for, but nevertheless, you’ll really have to push your usual smartphone budget out should you wish to add such a luxury touch to your prized asset

If money was no object, and you were planning to smother your iPhone 5 in delicious gold, which color would you choose? Would the images sway you from your previously-decided favorite?




iPhone 5 User Guide Now Available


The iPhone 5 arrived last Friday, and already in excess of five million consumers have snapped the device up, but contrary to how most electronic gadget vendors handle things, the full user guide wasn’t packaged with the smartphone, but released online some hours later along with a user guide for those diving into iOS 6.
 
Many of you will have already gotten to grips with the new smartphone and its accompanying software, and although there are quite a few updates in iOS 6 versus iOS 5, it’s not particularly difficult to begin using without the help of the documentation. Still, the small Fingertips user guide which comes in the box of the iPhone 5 is nowhere near sufficient if one wishes to get the very most out of their recent acquisition, so if you want to get your money’s worth, search the iBookstore for "iPhone User Guide For iOS 6."
 
In its release notes, Apple describes the The iPhone User Guide as "an essential part of any iPhone library," although not – it would seem – important enough to slot into the meticulously-arranged box.
 
Still, aside from your general iOS bits and pieces, the guide will give you a stronger insight into the new party guests such as Passbook and, of course, the Maps app which has seen consumers and experts falling over each other to criticize. Google has promised it will bring its Maps offering to iOS through the App Store, although former Apple board member and Executive Chairman of the Mountain View-based search giant Eric Schmidt has quashed rumors it had already been submitted for review.
 
Even if you’re very comfortable using iOS 6 and your new iPhone, there might just be that elusive tidbit of information you need in the future, and if you’ve the guide handy, you may avoid an hour or two trawling Google.
