Factory-Sealed Original iPhone Sells for $55,000 at Auction

A first-generation iPhone still sealed inside its box sold for $54,904 at auction, which is more than $54,000 over the original $599 price tag of the device when it was released in 2007.

The original ‌iPhone‌ was put up for sale by RR Auction on behalf of a former Apple employee who purchased it back when it first came out. Back in February, an original, sealed ‌iPhone‌ sold for over $63,000, which actually marked a sales record for a first-generation ‌iPhone‌.

Unopened first generation original Apple iPhone, Model A1203, Order MA712LL/A (8GB). The box features a life-size image of the iPhone with twelve icons on the screen, indicating that it is from the earliest production (2007); a 13th icon, for iTunes, came later in the year. In brand new, factory-sealed condition. Accompanied by an AT&T bag and leaflet regarding rate plans and iPhone activation. The consignor notes that he purchased this phone upon its release in 2007, but also received one through work as an Apple employee; this spare was therefore never opened.

Other unopened original iPhones sold for $35,000 and $39,000 in 2022, so prices have been trending upward.

RR Auction also sold an "undiscovered" Apple-1 computer for an unspecified sum, with other Apple devices and memorabilia also fetching high prices. A Macintosh Plus from Del Yocam sold for $26,590, while a Macintosh 128K prototype sold for $16,500 and an Apple Lisa sold for $81,251.

An ‌iPhone‌ 11 signed by Apple CEO Tim Cook sold for nearly $4,000, technical instructions annotated by Steve Jobs went for $12,500, and a Steve Jobs business card sold for $6,188.

About 55 years ago, Moore's Law was even created on the subject of transistors. Specifically, it states that " the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles roughly every 18 months while maintaining the same price." In any case, the truth is that recently this law is no longer valid, as increasing the number of transistors on chips is be

65 new iOS 16 features. All innovations and changes

Presented at WWDC 2022, the mobile operating system for the iPhone caused a lot of questions and complaints.
