The iPhone is not only the best-selling smartphone in the world. It is also a collector’s item for the biggest Apple fans. A particular model can be worth several hundred thousand dollars!
The iPhone, you necessarily know. In just ten years, this Apple invention has quickly become more popular to the point of regularly appearing among the most popular smartphones in the world. The craze around the iPhone is such that among the 10 best-selling phones last year, 8 of them were iPhones!
The iPhone is therefore very popular, but also very expensive. Count at least 1000 euros for the latest iPhone 14! This represents a hell of a cost, even if it is nothing compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max which is displayed from 1479 euros on the official Apple website. Add a few gigas of storage space and you can even exceed the symbolic threshold of 2000 euros!
What if we told you that there is an iPhone even more expensive than the latest iPhone 14 Pro Max (with 1TB of storage obviously)? And that same iPhone may be sitting in one of your drawers?
It was at the end of June that the news fell: a very specific iPhone model was sold at auction on the specialized site LCG Auctions. This is not just any version of the phone but a very rare model: the original iPhone with 4GB of storage space, a product that was only sold for a few months and in a few copies.
Auction result? The iPhone with 4GB of storage space finally found a buyer for the delirious sum of 190,000 dollars at the end of the online auction. A figure that defies records since the estimates before the sale were established at 100,000 dollars.
You will have understood it: this is a very rare model which was only very little distributed. The first iPhone (much more common at the time) is still highly sought after and estimated at nearly $44,000 today (according to the LCG Auctions site). So hurry to search your cupboards and drawers if you still have this antique!
