Karalux Announces 24K Gold-Plated iPhone 6

Karalux, a Vietnam-based jewellery firm, has launched a unique 24 karat gold-plated iPhone 6 version with gold-cast monolithic dragon on its back panel. The real 24 karat gold plated enclosure doesn’t tarnish and never needs polishing.

They also have posted a video to guide their domestic and foreign partners on how to disassemble, open, and gold-plate an iPhone 6. The video can be viewed on their Website.

As with previous iPhone and iPad models Karalux has plated, the phone frame, sim card trays, ring/silent switch, power button, volume buttons, and charge port also receive a layer of gold plate according to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Karalux’s chief engineer who implements the iPhone 6 gold plating process. This model’s seamless back panel and plastic lines on its back make it quite different from the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s whose back is glass.

One more difference between iPhone 6, 6 Plus and the iPhone 5 and 5s is the screws inside the phone. If the screws inside the previous iPhone versions are all teh same, while the iPhone 6 has different screws of different lengths, and the screws in each position have different sizes. Therefore disassembly technicians have to carefully watch and remember each position.

Another difference is the Apple icon. For previous iPhone versions, the Apple logo is coated a metal layer and attached to the back panel surface. Meanwhile, for the iPhone 6 version, apple logo is removable like the Macbook version.

Like other iPhone and iPad versions and other phones, Karalux engineers still use the plating tank method, dipping all items which need be gold-plated into a tank of molten gold, to gold-plate. The entire shell of iPhone 6 is immersed in a tank of gold. With this method as opposed to, say, electroplating, the surface of the gold layer is stuck evenly to the metal and brighter. After dipping in the gold, the engineers paste a temporary protective layer over the plated surface. Mirrored coating technology is used to create a mirror-like surface mirror coating can mirror.

For experienced technicians it takes nearly 50 minutes to disassemble and assemble iPhone 6, and from 120 to 150 minutes to gold-plate the metal components, depending on the customer’s requirements of carving, form, or types of gold (white gold, rose gold, chocolate gold, 24K gold)
