People are willing to fork out large sums of money when it comes to their gadgets. The smartphone, in particular, continues to see an increase in demand for the more expensive flagship models, like the Apple iPhone X or the Samsung Galaxy S or Note ranges. These phones, however, have nothing on the world’s most expensive phones.
