If you think selling an original iPhone for $63,000 is a lot of money, think twice. A factory sealed 2007 iPhone has been sold at auction for $190,373 (via MacRumors). This is three times more than the previous record. What makes this auction more interesting is that the original iPhone had 4GB of storage and not 8GB – as usual.
Looking back, Apple first sold the original iPhone with 4GB and 8GB options ($499 and $599, respectively). But due to the success of the 8GB model, Apple discontinued the 4GB model after a few months and started offering a 16GB option.
