    Highly desirable factory sealed first-generation original Apple iPhone from 2007.

    One of the most important and ubiquitous inventions of our lifetime, the iPhone was first introduced by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007 at MacWorld San Francisco. Just over five months later it was released at retail for $499/$599 on June 29th. The original iPhone included 4/8 GB of storage, an innovative touchscreen, a 2-megapixel camera, and a web browser. The iconic box featured a life-size image of the iPhone with 12 icons on the screen. It quickly became Apple’s most successful product, forever changed the smartphone industry, and was named the Time Magazine Invention of the Year in 2007.

    The original first-release iPhone in factory sealed condition is widely regarded as a blue-chip asset amongst high-end collectors. Impressive public sales of $35,414 in August and $39,339 in October of last year resulted in widespread media coverage from major outlets including the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Fox Business, and others. There’s little doubt that interest in culturally relevant collectibles is rapidly increasing, and despite the impressive sales numbers, many believe the space is still in its infancy.

    " The starting bid is $2,500, but it’s estimated to end up selling for at least $50,000. The auction runs through February 19."

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      The iPhone has appreciated similarly to the stock, then. That makes sense.

      Education is extremely important.

        For $50K I could probably get a factory seal put on my original iPhone.
