On eBay, we find from time to time
quite unusual objects. Currently still on sale on the famous platform
auction, aprototype d’iPhonevery first
generation. Forseveral thousand dollars, THE
collectors and other wealthy fans of technology history can try
the shot. The iPhone in question is currently announced as
extremely rare:
It would in fact be an iPhone 2G prototype running under what should
be a test version of the first version of iOS. At the back, notes
handwritten notes are stuck to the case, added by an Apple engineer to
the time, according to the seller.
It is specified in the description that there still only exists5
examples of this type in the world.
Located in Germany, the seller is not his first attempt at
resale of first generation iPhone.
On the other hand, this model stands out not only for its prototype state,
but also by its asking price, which is at6 999 dollars. The
fortunately, the seller gave interested parties the opportunity to make a
offer…
This is not the first time that we have found such devices for sale on
eBay, we remember the
prototype d’iPhone 6sold last May with an asking price of4
500 euros.
Lately, it's the old iPhones in new condition that have set the price on fire
prices, with 2G models in plastic sometimes displayed for
more than 20,000 euros…
For the iPhone prototype of the day, not sure, however, that it will remain displayed on
eBay too long, Apple could decide to remove the ad,
since if it is indeed a real prototype, the object is not supposed to be
found in nature.
