Gold, platinium iPhone 6 pre-order bid launched

Luxury retailer Brikk has put its Lux line of gold, platinum, and diamond-encrusted versions of the iPhone 6 up for preorderon its site, Cnet reports.

Customers can order either a black or white iPhone 6 finished in 24-karat yellow or pink gold. A pure-platinum version is also available.

The lineup of Lux iPhones will set you back $4,495 to $8,795, and will be available about a month after the iPhone 6 goes on sale through

Apple and other retailers. This gives the retailer time to put in a mass order of iPhone 6 units from Apple and customize them to your order.

The Lux page notes that Brikk's versions of the iPhone 6 are built on a 4.7-inch display with 128GB of on-board storage. If true, the iPhone 6 will not only be the largest iPhone yet (as expected), it will also be the first time there has been 128GB of storage in an iPhone model.

This seems plausible, but until there's confirmation from Apple, it's best to take these rumors with a grain of salt -- or a karat of gold, as the case may be.
