As I understand it, the phone is just the thing you plonk down on the table that says "I'm megarich". The true functionality is in the service, imagine having a voice assistant that can do anything - we're closer to that than ever before with AI but Vertu users have had it for years using real humans.

I met a guy once who got sent to Dubai for a week and his only job was to visit all the places a wealthy person might want to go to, while carrying a Vertu phone in his bag. They wanted to check signal strength.
