The factory-sealed 8GB Apple smartphone originally sold for $599 in stores.
The bidding really got heated in the final day, as is often the case with online auctions. The top bid was just $10,446 going into Sunday, but a flurry of last-minute activity saw the price climb considerably before the online auction’s close.
How did they know it was never opened? Apparently the factory seal on the plastic has the “correct seam details and tightness.” Seriously, that’s how LCG Auctions describes it. This factory sealed, first-release example is in exceptional condition. Virtually flawless along the surface and edges, the factory seal is clean with correct seam details and tightness. Labels on the reverse are correctly pristine beneath the seal. All original - no aftermarket stickers or UPC labels on this one. Brand new, never activated.
New iPhones also have considerably more space, with the smallest amount of storage current at 32GB and maxing out at 1TB. The original iPhone came in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB models.
