We’re not sure if it’s just an effect of the Apple branding scheme or if the iPhone’s just really phenomenal, but it seems like people are actually going crazy over these smartphones.

# 1 Dressing the iPhone With Gold and Diamonds We all know that Apple fans treat their iPhones like a status symbol from heavens above. And that’s not bad at all, seeing that the iPhone is one of the most expensive smartphones in the market. But really, does it have to be so insanely and blatantly shown to the world? Some crazy Apple fans think so. So much so that some of them would sell iPhone 4 units bedecked in diamonds as well as iPhone 5s plated in real gold. Check this bedazzled iPhone 4 from jeweler Stuart Hughes. Also, people from Gold & Co. probably hated the aluminum iPhone 5 design which is why they chose to sell iPhone embraced with 24-karat gold. The iPhone 4 with diamonds can be bought for $20,000 while the gold plated 64 GB iPhone 5 will be sold in Dubai (the price is still unknown). # 2 Declaring Love for the New Apple Maps App on Twitter Gizmodo recently reported that 17 possibly insane people tweeted about their true love for the iPhone 5’s new Maps app. Seriously though, did they really get to see what the app does? It melts bridges, makes rocky roads seem unearthly rockier and changes street names like a prankster.

complete. I hope they don’t need to fly off somewhere else though because in some other parts of the Apple Map, deep down in its core, the taste of “beta” still remains. Okay, so let’s give Apple a break, may be they’re just having a hard time with their Google breakup; they’ve been together for years. Let’s cut them some slack and give the app some time to grow and then move on to crazier things like… # 3 Spending More on the iPhone Than Basic Necessities Wall Street Journal recently reported of stats showing that Americans are spending more and more money on their phone bills and cutting back on food, clothes and entertainment. Since more than half of America owns smartphones like the iPhone, the need for mobile carrier plans has disturbed the budgets of families in the country. The studies also shown that all these changes were felt starting in 2007, around the time the iPhone was first released and people spent an average of $1,110 a year for phone bills. In 2011, the numbers rose to 4 percent with people spending an average of $1,226 on their bills. Looks like people need to trade iPhone to get a life!
