The legendary first generation iPhone presented by Steve Jobs himself on June 29, 2007 is now 16 years old. And if it is still easy to obtain second-hand ones, finding a part that is still new and in plastic in a 4 GB version is impossible, unless you are ready to leave the price of real estate there.
Indeed, a first generation 4 GB iPhone has alreadyset a sales record of $190,000. And today, a similar model has just been put up for auction (but not only that).
No, it's not the RAM
When weknows the capacity of current phones, an iPhone 4 GB is surprising, some will say that it is not even the size of the last video they filmed with their iPhone. But contrary to what one might believe, it is not the RAM of the phone, but rather its storage capacity (ROM).
15 years ago, files tookmuch less storage space, which is mainly due to the quality of media content which was lower at the time.
The 8GB model is not as expensive
Be careful though, if some people plan to start a business buying and reselling collectors' iPhones, don't be fooled. Because, in fact, the first generation iPhones which can reach astronomical sums are only the 4 GB models. This is explained by the fact that the company has notconceived only for two months, which makes it a very rare product that collectors or investors are snapping up.
Signed Steve Jobs
In addition to the rarest version of the Apple firm's smartphone, an iPad A1337 was also auctioned on the same site. But this model has a particularity because it was originally intended for a dentist in Hawaii as a gift.from the founder of Apple himself, with his signature written on the back of the tablet. The reason for this gift is that the dentist had treated Steve Jobs for free at the time.
In addition to the tablet and the 4 GB iPhone, a check signed by Steve Jobs was also up for auction. These end on September 24.
