We all know that iPhones have a high resale value. That from time to time certain Apple items, like this Steve Jobs job application, are auctioned off and sold for huge sums, we also know. But what we can have 35,000 dollars in a draweryes it is a surprise.
A piece of Apple history
In the past, we have seen reports that original iPhones, especially if they come in their original packaging, are selling very well. But the recent auction broke all established records. Owned by RR Auction, an original iPhone came for no less than 35,414 dollars.
The truth is, it’s a piece of Apple history. An iPhone that changed the industry forever and that in 2007 already marked the aesthetics and design language of all smartphones. If before the iPhone each mobile was different and a thousand ideas were tested, after all designs began to converge.
A collector’s item that can bring us a lot of money if we keep it in good condition. And is it time to sell it? Well… that’s something we have to decide for ourselves, but given the numbers some early Apple computers are fetching at auction, it might be wise to wait a little longer.
What is clear is that with the price that some iPhones fetch at auction, this gives us enough to have the new model every year for several decades. So it never hurts to look in the strange drawerwe may find a surprise.
