While most original iPhone owners tore open their boxes back in 2007 to use the revolutionary piece of tech, one person who didn't is now reaping nearly $40,000 in profit.
As reported by GameSpot, a factory-sealed, original iPhone from 2007 just sold for $39,339.60 in an online action. The 8GB model originally sold for $599, earning the patient owner $38,740.
"This factory sealed, first-release example is in exceptional condition," the listing read. "Virtually flawless along the surface and edges, the factory seal is clean with correct seam details and tightness.
"It quickly became Apple’s most successful product, forever changed the smartphone industry, and was named the Time Magazine Invention of the Year in 2007."
The original iPhone came with 16 pre-installed apps with no way to get more due to there not being an App Store, including Phone, Text, Camera, Calculator, Weather, and more. It was only available in 4GB and 8GB variants, a far cry from today's iPhone 14 which has a minimum of 128GB and maximum of 1TB.
In our 9/10 review of Apple's latest, IGN said: "The iPhone 14 Pro is one of the most substantial refreshes to the iPhone formula, with a 48MP camera, always on-display, and spiffy Dynamic Island animations."
