Messi is such a goat. He seems super down to earth and humble too, so this is pretty cool to see that he can ball out for his closest people.

I wish I had a gold iPhone 14 Pro like that one

I'd say a phone like that would definitely increase the chances of someone puting a gun in your face and telling you to hand it over.. Nice gesture towards his teammates though.. No more wireless charging as well..

Looks tacky to me.

Very nice, I guess this more of a memorabilia, pack it away in a nice display case, one day it will be worth a lot more and be put in a museum somewhere in Argentina or at FIFA headquarters.

Very nice. I don’t think any of his team mates would use them though as they are more of a collectors item given that only 35 exist. Some will probably end up in showcases and others placed into vaults and safes.

I think a watch or something would have been a far longer lasting and future proof gift, but a nice touch none the less…

And...then everyone promptly put a case on it. 😂

Very nice gesture by an awesome footballer nonetheless.

That's the point lol.

What are the chances that the rest of the team and staff reads MacRumors and their first reaction upon receiving their new iPhones was "Messi, you should have held off for the iPhone 15 and 3nm chips!"

Swelling will claim a good portion of these due to aging. He should have chosen something without a battery.

That's what Shakira should've done to her staff and her boyfriend 🤣
so she could spy on them

Imagine if Apple made like a $10,000 gold iPhone like they did with the first Apple Watch edition. MagSafe and wireless charging are no longer there, but hey, at least there's some gold on your iPhone lol.

It would have been okay if the battery is easily removable but it's not.
