Here we go again, we already talked about it in a similar article here. But this time they did things big!
Are you ready to be amazed? An iPhone 2G with just 4 GB was sold at auction for the astronomical sum of $130,027.20! No, it's not a typo. And while it's not an absolute record (that title goes to another 2G iPhone sold for over $190,000), the figure is still mind-boggling.
Curiously, prices appear to be dropping slightly. To think that the last auction had a “modest” objective of 100 thousand dollars, starting from a base of 10 thousand. It's funny how, despite the reduction, these numbers are still out of the ordinary for most people.
But what's so special about this 2G 4GB iPhone? Simple, it's very rare. Apple produced this version in limited quantities before realizing that everyone wanted more storage. This makes it an extremely valuable collector's piece.
And it's not just rarity that matters, but also condition. The iPhone sold was in perfect condition: sharp corners, bright colors on the box, no imperfections. A real trophy for passionate collectors.
Value beyond time
So, if you ever stumble across an old 2G iPhone, remember that it could be worth a lot more than you think. Of course, it must be in good condition and, preferably, never opened. Who knows, maybe you have a little treasure hidden in some drawer!
What do you think of these mind-boggling figures? Did you expect an iPhone to reach such prices at an auction?
