The auction for the world’s first USB-C iPhone is now over.
A week ago, we told you about the world’s first iPhone with USB-C connection. An engineer had successfully modified an Apple iPhone X to replace the Lightning connection with a USB-C port. After showing the process, he decided put iPhone X with USB-C up for sale on eBay, and people went crazy for him.
The idea couldn’t have been better since the final auction closed at $ 86,001, an amount that is sure to pay for all efforts to create this completely unique iPhone. 116 offers were made for the iPhone X modified by Ken Pillonel, which will receive a good sum of money.

The auction began on November 1, climbing rapidly from $ 1,625 to $ 14,800, and soon after, a massive bid of $ 30,000 came in. The extravagant offers continued through November 4, reaching $ 85,000, even appearing fake offers for $ 1 million
Final offer for iPhone with USB-C
The new owner of the phone assured that it was done with a “true collector’s item for any Apple fan”. While this is a device that you won’t be able to restore, update, or erase, you’ve even agreed not to use it as your everyday phone, and you won’t change any of the internal stuff. He also got a 30-minute call with the creator to ask questions.
We don’t know if Ken Pillonel will make more iPhones with USB-C like this, If you sell each for $ 80,000, it will surely pay off for you., no matter how much time and effort it takes. After all, he only did it as a hobby, which has now earned him a lot of money.
