Two please! Pure gold cases released for iPhone 17 Pro Max
One of the largest online retailers in China, JD, has launched an exclusive series of cases for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which are significantly more expensive than the smartphone itself, as they are made of pure gold.
Customers are offered cases in several versions, differing only in the amount of gold: options from 10 grams for $1,580 (converted from yuan) can be purchased, and for the wealthiest, a 100-gram accessory for $15,720 is offered — that's a little more than 3 ounces of gold.
JD has launched a pure gold smartphone case, with prices starting at 11,299 RMB (≈ USD 1,580).
