An incredibly rare iPhone has just gone up for auction, and it could be a record-breaker

In the 17 years since it launched, the original iPhone has become something of a collector’s item, with sealed models frequently selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now, another one is about to go up for auction, and it could well break records when its final price is decided.

As per reporting from 9to5Mac, an original 4GB iPhone model from 2007 – still sealed in its plastic wrapping – is about to go under the hammer at LCG Auctions. Bidding started at $10,000 (and sits at $11,000 at the time of writing), with the auction house estimating its final price could land somewhere north of $100,000.
