First iPhone sold at record price at auction!

When Apple introduced the first iPhone model, it completely changed the smartphone market. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone model at MacWorld San Francisco in January 2007. The smartphone, which has a small 3.5-inch screen and a simple 2-megapixel camera, went on sale for $499 (4GB) and $599 (8GB) in June of the same year.

iPhone with unopened gelatin sold for record price

Since then, iPhone models have continued to increase their claim on the market. While Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 15 in September, the first iPhone on gelatin has found a buyer at an astonishing price.

The original iPhone, which went to auction at the end of last March, sold for $ 158,644. As of July 17, this price corresponds to exactly 4 million 164 thousand 452 TL. Thus, the record of the first iPhone model, which previously found buyers at $ 63 thousand, was buried in history.

The record-breaking iPhone model has a storage capacity of 4GB, which is much rarer than the 8GB version. Just two months after launching the first iPhone model, Apple stopped production of the version with 4GB storage due to low demand. This makes the 4GB models much rarer.

The fact that even the gelatin of the phone has not been opened is another detail that makes it valuable. Apple labels and seal seem to have been preserved exactly on this iPhone, which has remained intact for 16 years with its surface and corners almost intact. The first iPhone model, with its box that looks like it was in 2007, got its new buyer at a record price.

It is a matter of curiosity what the new owner of the iPhone, which has managed to survive with its original box and gelatin, will do with the record-breaking phone. However, it is likely that the new owner will continue to store the package in this way. So what do you think about the record-breaking iPhone and its price?
