iDesignGold is a UK-based company specializing in custom-made luxury smartphones and other tech accessories. The company was founded by Benjamin Lyons, and it has quickly become one of the leading providers of luxury tech accessories in the world.

The company’s products are popular with celebrities and other high-profile individuals with the company gifting its products to celebrities such as Lionel Messi, Kevin De Bruyne, and Conor McGregor.

Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), was recently presented with a solid gold iPhone by Jake Brocklesby, CEO of iDesignGold, and Ben Lyons, President and Founder of iDesignGold. White is the latest high-profile figure to receive a gold iPhone from the company. 

The gold iPhone is a custom-made device that is plated with 24 karat gold. It is also engraved with the recipient’s name and logo. The phone is a luxury item that is often given as a gift to celebrities and other high-profile individuals. 

Lionel Messi, the captain of the Argentina national football team also gifted his teammates with bespoke 35 gold iPhones after their victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Each phone was engraved with the player’s name and number, as well as the World Cup logo.

The gift was reportedly worth over $200,000, and it was a gesture of appreciation from Messi to his teammates for their hard work and dedication. Messi has said that he is very proud of his teammates, and that he is grateful for their support.

“He said he wanted a special gift for all the players and staff to celebrate the amazing win but didn’t want the usual gift of watches so I suggested gold iPhones inscribed with their names and he loved the idea,” said iDesign Gold CEO Ben in media reports. 

The gift was well-received by the players, and they took to social media to thank Messi for his generosity.  “Thank you, Leo!” said a caption posted on X by Angel Di Maria, one of Messi’s teammates as he posted a photo of his new phone.
