US-based technology giant Apple’s 2007 model iPhone, which has contributed greatly to the smart phone industry’s current status, appears from time to time with auction news. Today, we are here again with a similar development. An unopened, 2007 model 4 GB iPhone, standing on gelatin, was sold at a record price at the auction. It is possible to buy “worlds” for the money the original iPhone was sold for.
The original iPhone, which was put up for auction on June 30 at LCG Auction, got its new owner on July 16. The auction, which started with 10 thousand dollars, ended with exactly 158 thousand 644 dollars. It was not disclosed at the auction who gave this huge amount of money to a 2007 iPhone. In terms of comparison, we can say something like this: With this money, you can buy about 4 Tesla Model 3 (40 thousand dollars).
Record price for an iPhone!
Estimates were that $50,000 to $100k would be paid for this smartphone. However, the auction ended with a record price that exceeded expectations. In the past, prices such as $63,356 and $54,904 were true for the 2007 model iPhone. The new record does not seem to be easily broken. Let’s not go without mentioning this. The winner of the auction can buy around 200 iPhone 14s with this money.
Let me also point out; The phone, which is sold by auction, will of course not be used actively. Because this phone is not enough for today’s conditions. However, it will be recorded as the most expensive iPhone in history. So, if you were a dollar-rich individual, would you spend that much money on a 2007 iPhone? You can share your ideas with us.
