This is the unopened original iPhone that won the auction held until August 18, 2022. There are 12 icons on the home screen of the iPhone printed on the box, which means that it is a product for initial production in 2007. That's because the screens of later-produced products added the iTunes Store app icon, making a total of 13.
The back of the case looks like this.
Since the shrink wrap is left intact, you can tell that it is a new, unopened product.
The model number is A1203 and the product number is MA712LL/A with a capacity of 8GB.
The iPhone was originally expected to fetch $15,000 (about 2 million yen), but was sold for $35,414, more than double that.
About the first iPhone, the auction house RR Auction said, ``As Steve Jobs said in his keynote speech, 'The iPhone is a revolutionary and magical product that is five years ahead of other mobile phones.' Developed in 1988, the first iPhone revolutionized mobile phones as the first straight-line smartphone and changed the industry forever.The iPhone ushered in the modernization of the smartphone, making Apple the world's most valuable smartphone. I decided to jump into one of the companies.'
The iPhone series, which is a monumental product of mobile devices, is also a regular auction item, and in 2021, the iPhone X with the Lightning port modified to a USB Type-C port will be auctioned for $86,001 (at the rate at the time). It was sold for approximately 9.8 million yen. After that, in May 2022, it is reported that Apple is considering adopting USB Type-C.
