If you have a 2G iPhone – the original one, your first one – still fine enclosed in its sales package with lots of uncut cellophane, well know that you have a little treasure in your hands. Yes, because a specimen of this type will be auctioned after February 19 most likely well above $50,000.
The auction of LCG Auctions it started yesterday and, in fact, will end on February 19th. The lucky owner – a certain Karen Green – wanted to tell the story of this technological heirloom on the pages of Insiders, explaining that the smartphone announced by Steve Jobs in 2007 had been given to her by some of her friends after she found work. If you remember correctly, the first generation iPhone it was compatible only with the AT&T operatorshe was a Verizon customer at the time and evidently wasn’t particularly interested in the first, rudimentary jailbreak operations.

First vs last iPhone.
In short, he already had three phones with Verizon, a fourth evidently did not find space – nor did the person intend to switch to AT&T. The fact is that he took the iPhone given to her and put it on a shelf. Now he has taken it back to put it up for sale at an auction after having resisted a few times in past years, when the price was not yet so high. It starts from $2,500but estimates speak of a potential sales figure of over $50,000.
The latest sealed 2G iPhone sold this way fetched a record $40,000. And records, as we know, are made to be broken. Up for auction.
