This iPhone with a design error sold for more than 2,000 euros

An iPhone 11 Pro with thepoorly printed Apple logoat the back would have found a buyer for $2,700, according to a tweet shared by the Internal Archive account at the end of last week. It would be a real device intended for the general public, marketed then delivered to a consumer who would then have noticed the error. A plausible story that may appeal to some collectors.

Indeed, many people want to find that rare gem by looking for unusual Apple products. So, recently, it isa first generation iPad tablet with two thirty-pin connectorswhich was seen in images. The value of the items is then defined according to the prices that potential buyers are willing to pay, sometimes reaching sums well beyond those charged by the manufacturer on its original models.

Failed printing

On the iPhone 11 Pro, the apple-shaped design is normally located in the center of the back cover. But here it is a littleoffbeatto the right. Furthermore, we also notice that it is somewhat tilted. It is difficult to know how such an error could have occurred, but a poor position of the glass back panel facing the machine responsible for printing the logo may have had something to do with it.

However, as the source points out here, this type of incident is extremelyrare, which also explains why buyers end up spending such substantial amounts to afford them.
