He iPhone 14 with which Lionel Messi gifts to your teammates was specially designed by iDesign Gold. According to Ben Lyons, CEO of this company, Lionel Messi contacted him a few months after the 2022 World Cup final to make the phone clad in 24-carat gold.
He said he wanted special gifts for all the players and staff to celebrate the big win, but he didn’t want the usual gift of watches. So I suggested a gold iPhone with his name on it and he liked the idea.
How is Messi’s expensive iPhone?
The iPhone 14 generated by the Argentine star is plated with 24-carat gold on the entire back of the smartphone. As you can see in the image, each model is personalized with the name and number of each member of the Argentine national team, winner of the last World Cup. So Messi has 10 screen printed, Di María 11, De Paul 7, etc… The logo of the Argentine team is also present with the three stars that classify them as 3-time world champions and the words ‘World Cup Champions 2022’ .
