A first-generation Apple iPhone has sold for more than $300,000 at auction in the US.
The phone, which was still in its original packaging, was sold for NZ$300,812.80 after 28 bids.
The auction was held by Louisiana auction house LCG Auctions, which described the phone as a “Holy Grail” among iPhone collectors.
The original iPhone was released in 2007 and was discontinued two months later due to low sales. However, it has since become a cult classic among Apple enthusiasts.
This is not the first time that a first-generation iPhone has sold for a high price. In February, another 2007 edition iPhone was sold for US$63,356 (NZ$100,084).
The high prices that these phones are fetching are a testament to the lasting appeal of the iPhone. The phone revolutionised the mobile phone industry and its impact can still be felt today.
It is also a reminder that even old technology can be valuable, especially if it is in good condition and in its original packaging.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
