The new silver iPhones start at $5,290. That will get you the "Hand of Fatima" which, apparently, will "bring peace and quiet to your home".

Hand of Fatima is believed to repel negative energy and to bring peace and quiet to your home. It is also used as protection against evil eye.The smartphone is made from sterling silver. The case is decorated with floral ornament engraving.
