iPhones tend to hold their value better than most other phones but this latest example is one for the history books. A factory sealed first-generation Apple iPhone from 2007 sold for $63,356 at an auction over the weekend. The $63,000 iPhone in its original packaging The $63,000 iPhone in its original packaging The $63,000 iPhone in its original packaging The device in question is an 8GB Apple iPhone and had an MSRP of $599 back in June of 2007. The auction ran from February 2 with a starting bid of $2,500 which ballooned past the $60,000 mark over the weekend. The phone has an interesting story too β itβs owner Karen Green received it as a gift from her friends over fifteen years ago. The owner was a Verizon customer at the time while the phone only ran on AT&Tβs network so it was quickly stored in a shelf and forgotten for over a decade. The phone was then appraised in 2019 with an estimated value of $5,000 and ultimately went on auction earlier this month. Based on reports, Karen Green will use the funds from the auction towards opening a business venture. source: https://auction.lcgauctions.com/bids/bidplace?itemid=729 source: https://www.gsmarena.com/factory_sealed_firstgeneration_iphone_sells_for_over_63000_at_auction-news-57616.php 1 Like

I remember in 2008 when my classmate in secondary came with this phone..Even then I didn't like the shape of the phone. I only prefer the IPOD music player. So sad I never owned an Apple Ipod back in the days |

jerryunit48: That means they'll have to unseal it. That's the point ; it remains sealed forever. |
