A unique unopened iPhone from 2007, which signaled the start of a new age in mobile phone technology, fetched an eye-popping $158K at auction, according to 9to5Google.
The first-generation iPhone was offered for sale on eBay by a user going by the handle “bobigor.” This spotless antique of Apple’s past was said to be in “flawless” shape and was still packed in its original box.
Thousands of bids were placed throughout the auction, demonstrating the strong demand for this antique item, which finally led to the record-breaking purchase price. This sale serves as a reminder of the increasing number of expensive collector’s items being made out of old technology.
With its ground-breaking style and functionalities, the first iPhone, introduced by the late Steve Jobs in 2007, transformed the cellphone market.
The idea of a mobile phone, as we know it today, was first introduced by this device, which combined a touch-screen smartphone with an iPod and an internet connection device.
