In the United States, an unopened Apple iPhone from 2007 that is expected to fetch a price of $50,000 has been put up for auction. Karen Green is the owner of the iPhone and she received it as a gift from her friends in 2007 when she was in need. Once again, the first-generation iPhone has confirmed itself to be a very collectible item, as this is yet another confirmation.
Green was given an unused and unopened iPhone 2G or an iPhone 1 when she was given a new job back in 2007 when she landed a new job for the first time. In spite of this, she already had three phone lines at that time, and carrier compatibility issues prevented her from being able to use the gadget at that time, despite having three phone lines already. Since then, it has been on her shelf, but because it has been on her shelf for such a long time now, since she has had it on her shelf for so long, she decided it was time to sell it off. She did not feel satisfied with the value of $5,000 that was placed on the iPhone in spite of this.
First-Generation iPhone Proves to Be a Collectible Item
The item is being sold by the seller for a minimum of $50,000 with the expectation that she will be able to make a profit from the sale once the item is sold. There will be a portion of the proceeds from the auction that will go towards funding Green’s business venture.

Proceeds from iPhone Auction to Support Karen Green’s Business Venture
It is not the first time that iPhones have been auctioned for such a high price, and there has been a number of such auctions that have taken place in the past. According to the current market price of a first-generation iPhone, the minimum price range on the market is in the range of $30,000 to $50,000.
The first-generation iPhone is still among the iPhones that many people have in their possession that are still unopened and unused. As iPhones become more and more sought after by consumers, the prices of the devices will continue to rise in the future.
Since the introduction of the first Apple iPhone at the start of the millennium, the iPhone has undergone a significant change. There is currently a series of iPhone 14 models available, with the iPhone 14 Ultra being one of the top picks.
