It was an honor to deliver 35 gold iPhone 14s to Leo Messi. He ordered them for his teammates and coaching staff as a gift for winning the World Cup.
The head of Indesign Gold added that Messi contacted the company two months after the World Cup. He noted that the footballer did not want to give his teammates the usual gifts such as watches and opted for iPhones.
Argentina defeated France in the final of the 2022 World Cup in a penalty shootout (3-3, penalty shootout - 4-2). Messi was named best player of the tournament.
