Gold is used in many components of a mobile phone because it is a better conductor of electricity than copper. This allows the phones to be faster and more energy efficient.
However, there is less than £1 worth of gold in each iPhone. Check out this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-28802646
