An original 2007 4GB iPhone has shattered sales records at auction, with a factory-sealed unit selling for an astonishing $158,000. This sale surpasses previous records and highlights the immense value of this rare device.
Limited Edition Rarity
The 4GB first release iPhone, released on June 29, 2007, has gained exclusivity due to its limited production run. With Apple offering the 8GB model for an additional $100, the 4GB variant saw lagging sales, making it highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
Historic Auction Details
The auction, conducted by LCG Auctions’ 2023 Summer Premier Auction, took place from June 30 to July 16. After receiving an initial bid of $10,000, the lot garnered a total of 28 bids. The bidding frenzy culminated in a final price of $158,644, securing the elusive 4GB original iPhone.
Unprecedented Value
The sold unit retains its factory sealing, boasting exceptional condition, flawless edges, surfaces, and tight wrapping. Cosigned by part of the original Apple engineering team, this iPhone holds significant historical and sentimental value.
Surpassing Previous Sales
This groundbreaking sale eclipses previous records for factory-sealed iPhones. Earlier this year, the highest recorded sale stood at $63,000, followed by $54,904 and $40,000 for two other notable devices.
Upcoming iPhone 15 Series and New Camera Technology
While collectors celebrate this record-breaking auction, Apple is gearing up for the production of the highly anticipated iPhone 15 series. Notably, the iPhone Pro Max model is expected to feature a distinct periscope zoom lens exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This innovation will position the iPhone 15 Pro Max as the flagship model with the most advanced camera system among its counterparts.
