Lockitron: Keyless entry via your Apple iPhone 5 (gadget review, Auckland)

 

Being the owner of the world’s 4th largest collection of Mike Schmidt mustache trimmings, I frequently worry about burglars. That’s what makes the Lockitron ($149) so appealing. Just put it over your deadbolt lock and you’ll have the ability to lock and unlock your door from anywhere in the world via your smartphone. That means no need to leave home without keys, no fretting over whether you remembered to lock the door, and no concerns about someone making off with your stash of ‘stache hairs.

This is the real luxury iPhone 5 - Gold Plated (Auckland, New Zealand) 095515344

Had The A-Team been set in the future, like say, 2012, Mr. T would’ve probably been making his calls on this 24 Karat Gold iPhone 5 (or the Rose Gold iPhone 5). Sold by Gold & Co. London, each gold-plated model is individually numbered, custom-made, and presented in a luxurious handcrafted wooden box. It also comes with a guaranteed certificate of authenticity, because the last thing you wanna do is piss off Laurence Tureaud.

You have some spare change like US$578,530 for a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3 45th Anniversary Edition? (Auckland, New Zealand) 095555344

 

So it’s not quite the big 5-0, and they’re not quite street legal, and they’re only gonna be making five of these Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary Edition models ($578,530), but that doesn’t mean the celebration should be any less. Especially considering each one is built mostly by hand, from the 6.3-liter AMG V-8 engine to the “magno graphite” paint. Even the fancy 45th anniversary graphics special, as they expose the woven pattern of the carbon fiber used in each door. So celebrate in style, guys. We’re all special.

Foxconn says iPhone 5 is the most difficult device it has ever built (Dr Mobiles Limited, Auckland, New Zealand)

Still can’t get an iPhone 5? It might be Apple’s (AAPL) fault and not just a display production shortage. According to The Wall Street Journal, a Foxconn official who wished to remain anonymous said the “iPhone 5 is the most difficult device that Foxconn has ever assembled” and even now, workers are still learning how to manufacture the smartphones to meet Apple’s high standards.

The anonymous Foxconn official went on to say that the iPhone 5 “uses a new coating material that makes it more susceptible to scratching” and that it is much more difficult to meet quality checks. Since the iPhone 5 launched last month, Apple has caught flak for shipping smartphones with scuffs and scratches on the devices.

“It’s always hard to satisfy both aesthetic needs and practical needs,” said the Foxconn official.

Foxconn made headlines again on Tuesday after it reported that it had discovered underage interns working at its Yantai facility in the Shandong Province in China.
