An original, 15-year-old iPhone just sold at auction for $190,372.80, the highest sum for an original iPhone so far. The previous record was $63,356.40.
The auction was facilitated by LGC auctions (spotted by Digital Trends) and was held between June 30 and July 16. It featured a first-generation iPhone with 4GB of storage – a very rare model that was discontinued shortly after release (hence, the rarity). Most users would have preferred the 8GB model, though both are paltry compared to the 1TB of storage you can now equip the top-tier iPhone 14 Pro Max with or even the 128GB that’s built into the base models of the best iPhones today.
