LCG Auctions has just sold a factory-sealed, first release iPhone (2007) for the staggering amount of USD 190,372. [gallery type="rectangular" columns="2" size="full" ids="340860,340862"] The auction house reasoned out that “The original 4GB model is considered a “Holy Grail” amongst iPhone collectors.” The 4GB model of the original iPhone, which debuted on June 29th, 2007 alongside the 8GB model, was not as popular due to slow sales. This limited production has made the 4GB model extremely rare and sought after among iPhone collectors. [gallery type="rectangular" columns="2" size="full" ids="340863,340861"] Steve Jobs, the late CEO of Apple, was the driving force behind the development of the original iPhone. The launch of the iPhone in 2007 had a considerably huge influence on the smartphone industry as we know it today. 16 years later, it’s no surprise that the OG iPhone sold for THAT record-breaking bid. Furthermore, the 8GB versions of the 2007 factory sealed first-edition iPhone have been selling for record prices in the past months. So, if you ever have an unopened iPhone unit, now’s prolly the time to auction it.
