The 4GB iPhone is an extremely rare and coveted model that has experienced a significant increase in value in recent years. With very few units in circulation, it has become an object of desire for many collectors.
In 2007, Apple launched its revolutionary iPhone, a device that ushered in a technological era and automatically unleashed a veritable revolution in the mobile phone market.
Amidst all the device fervor, there was one model in particular that most people missed: the 4GB iPhone. Known as the original iPhone, it went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007which was introduced to the world nearly five months before then by Steve Jobs during his keynote address at MacWorld Expo in San Francisco.
With a short shelf life, this gear has gained great rarity and value over time. Today, the unopened first-generation iPhones, which are still in their boxes, especially the 4 GB storage model, have become true gems coveted by collectors and technology enthusiasts.
The iPhone that almost nobody has and is worth a fortune
Early iPhones were part of the first-generation catalogue, including the 4GB model selling for $499 along with the 8GB model selling for $599 at the time. Apple decided to keep the 8GB on the market shortly after its two releases, this led the company to introduce a 16GB model a year later in 2008 priced at $499.
This movement caused the 4 GB iPhone to disappear from the minds of all users, focusing on the models with the largest storage space.. Only a few models of this mobile made it into the hands of the people as it was discontinued only after a few months after its launch date.
But now, the rarity of this device has made it a coveted product. It is for this reason that a first-generation iPhone, which will go up for auction in the coming days, is expected to sell for a whopping $100,000. One of these unopened iPhones is up for auction at LCG Auctions and the bidding price will start at $10,000.
The company behind the auction has confirmed that it will start this Friday, June 30, and the bidding will be open until July 16.. In addition to the economic value, these iPhones also represent a piece of history, a symbol of the beginning of a new era in mobile communication. If you have an iPhone with these features and in its original packaging, you could sell it for a fortune.
