Each October, The Luxury Technology show sets up shop in Beverly Hills so that purveyors of arguably unnecessary, yet undeniably desirable wares can showcase their latest and greatest. This year, The Manual paid the show a visit to see just what it takes to impress a cast of VIPs who spend more in one day than many of us make in a year. It turns out, it takes a lot. And one of the most opulent displays we witnessed was hosted by Brikk, a company that painstakingly blings out technology in pure gold, titanium, and diamonds. It’s latest target: The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

The “iPhone Gold” that Apple makes? This ain’t it. When we say Brikk makes gold iPhones, we mean that the iPhones it produces come out looking like they took a bath in a cauldron of molten gold … or platinum, or pink gold. Yes, pink.

If you want diamonds, you can have them, but it will cost you. The Apple logo on the back of the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus can be filled with diamonds, but the price will zoom up to somewhere in the $12,000 neighborhood, depending on phone size and finish.

The proud owner of one of Brikk’s Lux creations will receive their prize, complete with stock accessories (those are still white plastic, sorry) all packed in a luxurious case with custom foam cutouts which, as Bill Kennedy with Brikk explains, “comes in a beautiful box of its own, which comes in another box, which is packed in the final shipping box.”

Think of it as a Russian doll delivery system for your super-luxury iPhone.

Not into the new iPhone 6 models? Don’t worry, Brikk will also bling out an iPad Mini Retina, iPad Air, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or Galaxy Gear watch, or the HTC M8. You can learn all about Brikk and place orders right from its website.

Will ‘Bad Monkey’ get a season 2 at Apple TV+?

The show is based on a book of the same name that has a sequel

Vince Vaughn in Bad Monkey

Apple TV+ is slowly but surely building a library of interesting TV projects. Bad Monkey, which aired earlier this year on the streamer, was just one example, adapting a novel of the same name and bringing in Vince Vaughn to star.

Now, Variety is reporting that the show will be back for a second season. There is a sequel to the original novel, which was written by Carl Hiaasen, titled Razor Girl, but Variety's reporting suggests that the second season will not be based on that novel. In spite of that creative departure, creator Bill Lawrence said he has nothing but admiration for Hiaasen.

Silo is currently in the middle of its second season, and the show remains one of the more interesting sci-fi shows on television. While the show's season 2 finale has not yet aired, fans are already wondering whether the show will return for another season.

Thankfully, Apple TV+ saw fit to answer that question, renewing the show not just for a third season but also for a fourth. The show's fourth season will also serve as its final. Graham Yost created the series, which is adapted from a series of novels written by Hugh Howey.

The White Lotus season 3: Everything we know so far

Get up to date on everything we know about The White Lotus season 3

When the first season of The White Lotus premiered in 2021, few could have suspected that it would become one of the best shows on HBO and Max. Even series creator Mike White considered The White Lotus to be a six-episode one-off story. But viewer response to this dark comedy show was so strong that White and HBO realized that they had a hit on their hands. That's why the series was quickly renewed, and the second season premiered on HBO and Max in 2022, just a little over a year after the first season.

The White Lotus season 3 was confirmed in November 2022, and fans have had to wait over two years for its return. Audiences can finally expect the series to be on their screens again shortly after the calendar flips to 2025. We're gradually getting little tidbits about season 3. We're sharing everything we know about The White Lotus season 3, which includes most of the cast, the theme, and the setting, as well as when fans can expect the show to return.
