How much would you pay for a piece of high-tech history? For one collector, the answer was just over $39,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how much the bidder paid this weekend for a factory-sealed model of the first-edition iPhone \u2014 their winning bid topped out at $39,339.60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 8GB smartphone was sold by LCG Auctions on Sunday. The device originally retailed for $599 in 2007 \u2014 or $852 in 2022 after inflation \u2014 and quickly saw its price climb from the opening bid of $2,500 to well into five figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe expected the bidding for this item to be fervent and it did not disappoint as a handful of avid and sophisticated collectors drove the price from just over $10,000 on Sunday afternoon to this record-setting amount by Sunday night,\u201d LCG Auctions founder Mark Montero said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe congratulate the winners, our consignors and all of the bidders for making this one of the most active auctions in our history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Jobs first unveiled the original iPhone in 2007<\/a>, and Apple quickly sold millions of units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phone that sold over the weekend was advertised as being in \u201cexceptional condition\u201d, with \u201cpristine\u201d labels beneath the plastic seal and no aftermarket stickers on the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the 8GB of storage the phone also featured a 2-megapixel camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For context, the base model of the recently-released iPhone 14 has 128GB of storage and sports a 12-megapixel main camera with an ultra wide lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
